of Pope Pius IX. and King Victor Emanuel. 

 The relations between Leo XIII. and King 

 Humbert did not materially differ from those 

 existing between their predecessors. The rev- 

 olutionary party of Italia irredenta, which 

 clamors for the forcible annexation of Trieste 

 and southern Tyrol to Italy, made some dem- 

 onstrations against Austria, which the Italian 

 Government immediately and emphatically dis- 

 approved. An attempt was made against the 

 life of the King, but it failed. (See ITALY.) 



The life of the King of Spain was likewise 

 attacked by a would-be regicide, but, like the 

 Emperor of Germany and the King of Italy, he 

 escaped unhurt. (See SPAIN.) 



In consequence of the changes made in 

 the map of Europe by the treaty of Berlin, the 

 table of the European states at the close of the 

 year 1878 presents marked differences in point 

 of population and area from the table in 1877. 

 The following table arranges the states of Eu- 

 rope in order of their population. Comparing 

 it with that of last year (" Annual Cyclopedia " 

 for 1877, p. 281), it will be seen that this year 

 one state more is given than last year, Bulgaria. 

 In consequence of this additional territory and 

 population received by the treaty of Berlin, 

 Roumania has now advanced in the list beyond 

 Belgium, Servia beyond Greece, and Monte- 

 negro beyond Luxemburg. Turkey is hardly 

 entitled to the place which is still assigned to 

 her, for she has no control of Bosnia and Her- 

 zegovina, and very little of Eastern Roumelia; 

 but for the present it would be premature to 

 regard Bosnia and Herzegovina as parts of 

 Austria, and Eastern Roumelia as an indepen- 

 dent state.

In this table, the European dependencies of 

 Great Britain, Portugal, and Denmark have 

 not been taken into account. They are as fol- 

 lows : 



Great Britain (Malta, Gibraltar, Heligoland). 174,362 



Portugal (Azores) 261,746 



Denmark (Faroe Islands, Iceland) 83,000 



Total 519,108 



Adding these figures to the above sum, the 

 total population of the European states, inclu- 

 sive of their European dependencies, is found 

 to be 312,282,821. 



The total area of Europe is estimated at 

 3,821,080 square miles. Leaving out of ac- 

 count the area of the European dependen- 

 cies, as well as that of the German coast- waters 

 of the Baltic and North Seas, the lake of 

 Constance, and the sea of Azov, the European 

 states occupy the following relative position in 

 point of area. :
