The number Of registered emigran,s from this country
from 1925 to 1850 nclusive) is 2,6l26l7 Assuming the
registers from which the land and emigration commits
have made this be correct they give only
the number OF those persons who left the country with
determination TO settle permanently elsewhere However,
the number OF those who, having lett the country
without any intention 10 seek new permanent homes,
have been induced 10 settle abroad, is probably about
compensated by the number OF those who sick ened OF
and returned 10 the place of their nativity, the
mentioned above may be assumed TO represent with
tolerabe accuracy the aggregate emigration during the
period The total emigration OF the last quarter OF cen
fury may, therefore, be stated millions and half

grants who have settled in the United States, tor many
who have sailed for the British North American colonies

emigraed from the States TO the British provinces Stri
king rough balance however, it would appear that
about million OF the two and half millions OF British
emigrants have become citizens OF the North American
republic.
