264 Population of Russia. [April, 



1775. It will be interesting, therefore, to know the effec-t of these 

 causes as exhibited by the last enumeration, in 1804, which I 

 possess. 



Little Russia includes the governments of Kiew, Tschernigow, 

 Pultawa, Slobod-Oukrainskoi, and a part of Catherinoslaw and 

 Koursk, to which we must add the country of the Cossacks of the 

 Don as peopled by the inhabitants of Little Russia. All this vast 

 country was the boundary between the Turks and Tartars, called 

 the Oukraine. Its population in 1S04 was as follows : —

So that the number of inhabitants in the Swedish provinces and 

 in Little Russia is 6,741,661.

 Little Russia has nearly doubled ; for it is certain that in this last 

 enumeration all the provinces belonging to Little Russia in its 

 greatest extent have not been included. 



The Polish provinces acquired from 177^ to 1/5^^5 including 

 Courland, are. White Russia, Lithuania, and the Polish Oukraine, 

 or the governments of Minsk, Vitebsk and Mohilew, Grodno and 

 Vihici, Podolia and Volhynia. The state of their population in I8O4
