The first census of Great Britain was taken in
1870 at which date The population amounted to
10, 567 693
By the census of 1841, the population of Great
Britain and the Islands of Jersey, Guernsey and
Man amounted to 16, $50, 372 During each ten
years from 1910 to 1851, the actual increase was
as follows ,479, 562-2, 1872 1865, 1874, $40
1890, 1873, 22F, 438-being at the rate Of H.
10, s. IA, and ~, per cent respectively. The
actual increase of the population in fifty years has
been lO,317,9l7; the rate per cent. being 1877.
With respect to Ireland and the returns of 1821 +,
the number of the inhabitants at that period was
6,801,827. In 1881, 1867, 4O1-increase 1884,
574 rate per cent. 5,25. In 1851, 5,515, 1914 );
decrease 1888, $50, rate per cent. 20. By this
statement we perceive that the population of Ire
land increased from 1921 to 1871 at the average
rate of about one per cent. per annum, while de-
crease of 1859 $50 from 1841 to 1851 indicates
most appalling diminution of population amount
ing to two per cent. per annum, or 90 per cent.
for the entire ten years, a reduction amounting to
the total emigration from the whole United King
dom from 1899 to 1850.
During ten years, the population of the entire
kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland increased
from 90, 833, 1876 to 452, 262, or at the rate of
little more than halt a million in ten years. In
the last fifty years, England and Wales increased
lO2 per cent, (n.alcs 1O5 females 81 SO y Scot
land 20 per cent (males "a, females 10. The
population of the United States during the past
fifty years, has increased at the rate of 337 per
cent and in ten years intervening between the
last two censusrs, increased from seventeen and a
fraction millions to over twcntythree millions, or
SO per cent. During the same period (leaving
Ireland out of view the population of Great Brit
ain increased at the rate of Q per cent during
ten years. or 1910 per cent. per annum.
HOUSES.
By the last census it appears that in the United
States the number of houses occupied by free per-
sons amounted to 1903 497
In comparing the population of Great Britain
and Ireland with the inhabited houses, it appears
that the whole number of houses in Great Britain
amounts to 1865, 437, being nearly one house to
each six persons. In Ireland the number of in
habited houses amounts to ,O47, 1856, being in the
proportion of two houses to each thirteen persons

With respect to the Northern United States the
returns of Massachusetts, have been for compari-
son with those Of the national census of England

Middle States the statistics of Maryland have been

and the expectation of life at its several periods
