Create a table showing the population of Bath, London and Edinburgh at the various dates mentioned in the Georgian Cities website. Select different colours for the figures obtained from 18th century surveys and for the figures obained from present-day historical research. Add notes giving details of the first surveys of the Georgian era, and of present-day statistics. 

- Then draw graphs.

You may create tables either by using the 'table' option in a word-processing program, or by using a spreadsheet program; you may create graphs with a paint program (it will be static), or with the spreadsheet program used to create a table, and it will be dynamic, i.e. if you modify the values in the table, the graph will adapt.
