636 MISCELLANEOUS 



Regarding the Census, an estimate has been made of the popula- 

 tion of Lower Canada, Upper Canada. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick 

 and Prince Edward Island. 



If this information is not sufficient for your purpose please advise 

 me, and I shall be pleased to have a search made in England. 

 I have the honour to be, 



Sir, 

 Your obedient servant,

Memo for Dr. Doughty. 



Herewith is a list of the ports of entry of Lower Canada and Nova 

 Scotia, for the year 1818, as found in the Quebec and the Nova Scotia 

 Almanacs for the years 1818 and 1819, respectively. 



For Upper Canada, I could find nothing for the year 1818, the 

 nearest year to 1818 that could be found was 1821. I enclose the list 

 for that year. 



For New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island no information 

 could be found. 



As to the population of British North America in 1818, it is impos- 

 sible to give any correct figures, there having been no census for that 

 year in any or the provinces, but, by taking the proceeding and 

 subsequent censuses, I have come to the following average : 



Lower Canada about 370, 000 



Upper Canada " 130, 000 



Nova Scotia " 85,000 



New Brunswick " 58, 000 



Prince Edward Island 20,000 



Total 663, 000 



These figures are, perhaps a little higher than the real number, but 

 as a compensation, I leave off the small population of the Red River 

 Settlement and Indian Territories.
