EUROPE. 



The above table is intended to present a view of the three great races of Europe in 1870, and fragments 

 of other races. The dark squares signify the Germanic race, the light squares signify the Slavic, and the 

 light circles the Eomanic race. Each square, circle, or letter, denotes one million inhabitants. 



The squares denoting the scattered fragments of the Slavic and Germanic races in Eussia, Austria, and 

 Turkey, are so placed as to indicate the regions occupied by them. 



The Basques are partly in France, but chiefly in Spain. 



Only round numbers are indicated, and in the usual way, fractions over or under a million being ex- 

 pressed by the nearest million. All under five hundred thousand are left unrepresented. 



The bird's-eye or brief notation for numbers used in this map, by which their relative proportions are 

 presented to the eye in their geographical distribution, was first used and published by the author in his 

 " Bird's-eye Views of Slavery in Missouri." * St. Louis, 1862. 



* Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1863, by Edwin Leigh, in the Clerk's Office of the United 

 States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
