higher population density than Belgium or 

 England, and that is the kingdom of Saxony, 

 with 320 inhabitants to the square kilometre. 

 It is more highly industrialised and urbanised 

 than even the Rhineland province of Prussia, 

 and agriculture is reduced to a very inferior 

 position. Yet even in Saxony it supports 

 II. 5 per cent, of the occupied population. 

 Thus in a country more densely populated by 

 one-third than England agriculture still main- 

 tains a position better by one-fourth. With 

 these examples before us we cannot explain 

 away England's unique position either by 

 industrialisation or density of population.
