* Notwithstanding all the pains taken to procure correct re- 

 turns, these numbers convey no just notion of the real population 

 of the different towns, Liverpool, for instance, is much under- 

 rated, and some others probably as much exaggerated. The sum 

 total here given (118,972) is only that of the parish and borough 

 of Liverpool, excluding every thing beyond their strict limits, 

 although some of the houses are so constructed, and the line so 

 continuous, that one portion is within the borough of Liverpool, 

 and the other without ; from which it results, that a male child 

 born in one room is a freeman, and in another an alien. Besides 

 this, the floating population of seamen, &c. is wholly omitted, 

 whereas, in the returns for London, they are calculated at J^th. 

 The real population of Liverpool exceeds the following estimate :
