RUSSIA. 



Table Continued. 



497 



We have been at great pains in arranging the con- 

 tents of the following table, chiefly from the Russian 

 work of Yablovskii, already quoted, and which we be- 

 lieve to be pretty accurate, and to be very comprehen- 

 sive and important. 



Russia at present is divided into forty-nine govern- 

 ments,* thirteen provinces and islands, &c. Of the 

 forty-nine governments in Russia, forty-five are now 

 reckoned to belong to Europe, and four to Asia. Of 

 the Russian provinces some are in Europe, and others 

 in Asia. All the islands lie in the Baltic Sea, and in 

 the Eastern Ocean. Of the forty-nine Russian go- 

 vernments, thirty-six are administered according to ge- 

 neral laws, and thirteen according to particular laws. 

 The provinces of Russia are governed each according 

 to its particular laws.

* In the Ilusilan Geographical Dictionary of Stchekatof, Vol. v. p. 142, the empire of Russia is divided into fifty governments; 

 rnd in Vtevolojtkiis Diclionnairc Gtcgraphique Hiitoriqtie, Vol. ii. p. 172, it is divided into fifty-two government*. The above is 

 Yablovskii's division, and is both the latest and the most approved.
