An Unpleasant Census.
Dr Jeffery Hankins, a history professor at Tech, gave a lecture at the Lincoln Public Library last night. The title was "An Unpleasant Census". The lecture was about a census taken in London in the 17th century. The objective of the census was to help keep foreigners out of London.
