What is this article about?
Mr. Williams published the 1835 New York Annual Register, the 6th volume, accompanied by a state map. It includes statistics on completed canals (566 miles total), churches in New York City (132 total across denominations), and comparative clergy numbers in the state from 1819 and 1825.
Merged-components note: The two tables provide statistical data directly referenced and integrated into the text of the domestic news article on the State of New York; merging as they form a single coherent report on canals and clergy statistics.
