READINGS IN RURAL ECONOMICS 



This table is taken from the official statistics published by the 

 Belgian government in 1850. Those published in 1861 relate 

 to the year 1856, and are less detailed. In the following table, I 

 have given the data relative to the two Flanders, Namur, Luxem- 

 bourg, and the entire kingdom, as derived from those statistics. 

 Although the two tables are drawn up on different statistical 

 plans, the returns are about the same, and therefore the data 

 may be considered the more trustworthy.
