1814.] D'tstrilution of the Inhabitants of Russia. 44S 



A table drawn up for the tax on spirits in 1803 gives almost the 

 lame number, though otherwise distributed : 



Peasants belonging to individuals . . . .123,055 



domains 1,421 



■ — — the crown 43,558 



1GS,034 



Another report respecting the distribution of salt gives 1 68,602 

 peasants. 



The statements of the general population of this government 

 give for 1803 the number of revisionaries, ^. 



Males 168,900 



Females 170,989 



Inhabitants 339,889 



The statement for 1801 (excluding the capital) is more exact' 

 namely, 



Males 268,748 



Females 270,920 



Inhabitants 539,668 



We may therefore reckon the Ischores inhabiting the government 

 cf St. Petersburgh at 330,000. 



The Ischores inhabit the northern parts of the government of 

 Novgorod. Their number is reckoned in the circle of Tichwin at 

 15,000 men, in the circle of Belosersk at 10,000, and in the circle 

 of Kirilow at about the same. Hence there exist in this govern- 

 ment about 35,000 males, or 70,000 individuals of this race. 



The Ischore?, or rather the Finns of Carelia, were the old inha- 

 bitants of the government of Olonctz. At present they constitute 

 no more than a third of the population of the country, which 

 according to a table drawn up in 1804 amounted to 91,482 males; 

 so tiiat 30,000 males, or 60,000 Ischores of both sexes, is their 

 amount. 



From these data the most probable amount of the Ischores is as 

 follows : 



Ischores of St. Petersburgh 330,000 



• Novgorod 70,000 



Olonetz 60,000 



460,000 



c. The Laplanders of Archangel amount to 1200 families, or 

 about 4800 individuals. This number will not appear too great if 

 we consider tlic imperfect state of the enumeration of the nomades. 



d. The Est/tes, a p«;ople of the Finnish race, are spread over 

 Livonia. The Livonians, the ancient inhabitants of the country,
