224 PRESENT AND FUTURE OF AMERICA. 



know Liverpool increased 50 per cent, in the last ten 

 years (the increase of London is on the average 25 per 

 cent, yearly for the last forty years, but in the last de- 

 cade it was only 171 per cent) and say 5 per cent, of that 

 were immigrants from foreign or from the country 

 districts of England, it would give 12 J per cent.* There- 

 fore Liverpool at the same rate would leave 371 per cent, 

 of immigration, and of that at least 33 per cent, was 

 from Ireland, or 86,805 souls. Say therefore of the 

 1,684,898 emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, 

 that there were of them from Great Britain as 163 is to 

 680 Irish, or Irish emigrants, from 1840 to '50, 1,281,015. 

 Irish emigrants to Liverpool, 86,805. Say Irish emi- 

 grants to all other parts of England at least two to one 

 for those who remained in Liverpool, say 173,610. 

 Total emigrants from Ireland from 1840 to 1850, 

 1,541,430. 



There are pretty certain data for this calculation, and 

 it shows that there were beyond the usual proportionate 

 number of casualties, 935,412 souls destroyed by famine 

 and its concomitant diseases. 



From the foregoing calculation it would stand thus : 



That from 1811 to '21 frish emigrants were 251,965 



" 1821 to '31 " 414,496 



1831 to '41 " " - 1,145,697 



" 1841 to '51 " " 1,541,430 



Total emigration from Ireland for forty years - 3,353,588 

 Say for twenty-five years - 2,901,573 



Total" emigration from Great Britain and Ireland - 2,622,617 



Showing that England received from Ireland more im- 



* The whole increase of England, not including Scotland and Wales, 

 was but 1 1 per cent.
