EMIGRATION FROM GREAT BRITAIN. 225 



migrants than all that emigrated from her of English, 

 Scotch and Welsh, to the amount of 278,956. 



So that the Irish, at the same time they are computed 

 at 7,000,000 in America, are also displacing the Anglo- 

 Saxon race in England. 



We .can see, that from 1830 to 1840, emigrants from 

 Great Britain, Scotland, and Wales, as per Commissioners 

 Report, were 140,830. 



From 1840 to 50, the a London Times&quot; states, in a 

 vague manner, viz., of 1,684,892 that emigrated, 1,100,000 

 emigrated from Ireland alone, and there is no doubt that, 

 of the remaining 500,000, many thousands were Irish. 

 Say the &quot;Times&quot; meant by many thousands some 100,000 ; 

 but the emigration to New- York shows the Irish were as 

 337 to 79, or very probably more. English were 7 T 9 ^, of 

 1,684,892, leaving of English and Scotch, &c., say, 

 320,000. 



Say, for the five years prior to 1830, total emigrants 

 from the United Kingdom were 177,991 say one fourth 

 were from Great Britain, 44,500. 



Total emigrants from Great Britain for twenty-five 

 years, 505,330. 



It is well known that the Scotch are a more enter 

 prising race than the English, therefore, deduct one fourth 

 for that branch of the Gaelic or Celtic race of Scotland 

 126,440. 



Total emigrants for England and Wales in twenty-five 

 years, 378,890. Therefore, 



Irish emigrants, . . . 3,353,588
