$11,000,000 00s of three quarter*.
This is the gross amount of acres and purchase money, including the special sales pnor tothe opening of the land offices, and, of course, all the lands as they were sold from year to year,without regard to their subsequent reversion to the United States , or their subsequent relin-quishment by purchasers under the relief laws commencing in the year 1821.
t This is the net amount of sales and amount 'paid by purchasers , after deducting all rever-sions and relinquishments of lands sold under the credit system, ending on the 30th June, 1820.
J This is the amount paid into the Treasury in 1S20, for the sales of land under the credit andcash systems.
§ These aggregates include the special sales made prior to the organization of the land dis-tricts, also the amount of forfeited land stock, Mississippi stock, and military land scrip, receivedin payment for the public lands.
In making estimates or comparisons between the sums receivable, and the quantities of landssold at dinerent times, it is important to remember that the minimum price per acre was $2Detore 1820, and since only $1.25. Besides the above sales by the United States , they havemade donations of lands, most of which have come into the market during the last forty-sixrears, of over 16,000,000 of acres.
