While London far surpasses any other capital city in the amount 

 of its inhabitants, and we would add in its wealth, industry and general 

 intelligence, England exceeds every other country in the magnitude 

 and growth of its great towns. This would be an interesting subject 

 to touch upon, but our limits warn us of the necessity of closing our 

 review. We insert the population of London, together with those of 

 the great towns, in 1821 and 1831, in the succeeding table, distin- 

 guishing also the males and females.

 1819, and 5th February, 1829. The first two of these estimates evidently
