INDIA, BEITISH, a dependency of Great Brit- 

 ain, in Asia. According to the " Statistical 

 Abstract for the Colonial and other Posses- 

 sions," etc., 1852-1866 (London, 1868), Brit- 

 ish India had, in 1866, an area of 988,091 

 square miles, and 150,767,851 inhabitants. The 

 revenue was 48,935,000; the expenditures 

 47,332,000; the debt 98,384. The imports 

 were valued at 56,160,000; the exports at 

 67,660,000.* 



The Government of India has obtained the 

 sanction of the Secretary of State to take a 

 general census of all India in 1871, when the 

 rest of the British empire will be undergoing 

 enumeration. So long ago as June, 1865, this 

 census was resolved on in India, the success 

 of those taken in the northwestern and central 

 provinces t removing every possible objection. 

 The eight local Governments, accordingly, were 

 instructed to familiarize the minds of the peo- 

 ple with the idea of a census, and to furnish 

 reports on the best mean^ of taking it, and the 

 Statistical Committee were asked to prepare 

 uniform tables for the purpose. In 1867 and 

 1868 a census was taken in Madras, in the 

 Berar, and the Punjab. The results of the 

 Madras census (not arrived at, however, by 

 the same accurate methods as were adopted in 

 Northwest and Central India) show an area 

 of 140,573 square miles, and a population of 

 26,512,490, against an area of 124,250 and a 

 population of 22,644,519 in previous returns 

 a gain of some 4,000,000 of population. In 

 the Punjab the population has increased from 

 15,000,000 to 17,000,000. The most satisfac- 

 tory results are generally expected from this 

 progress of statistical inquiry, which is chiefly 

 due to the establishment, in 1863, of a "statis- 

 tical committee," to compile uniform" tables of 

 trade, finance, justice, and general administra- 

 tion for all the ten provinces which publish
