thus : 45,028 horses arid colts ; 196,540 oxen, cows, 

 and young cattle ; 194,133 sheep and lambs ; 95,634 

 swine. 



The extent of this province is nearly one-fourth 

 of that of the three maritime provinces of Prussia ; 

 and thinly as those are stocked with cattle, in com- 

 parison with England, it will be seen, by the follow- 

 ing Statement, how much they exceed that of the 

 district in question : 



Prussian Polish 



Maritime Provinces. Province of Plork. 



Horses and Colts - 1 to 42 Acres. 1 to 106 



Oxen, Cows, and Calves 1 to 18 do. 1 to 24 



Sheep and Lambs - 1 to 10 do. 1 to 24 



Swine ----- 1 to 35 do. 1 to 52 



If it be considered, that since the year in which the 

 facts exhibited in this Statement were collected, the 

 country has suffered severely from being the theatre 

 of war, from three changes of sovereigns, and from the 

 low prices of all produce, it will scarcely appear pro- 

 bable that it has so increased in wealth as to have 

 added materially to its stock of cattle, or even to have 

 kept up that stock to the standard which it had 

 reached before those visitations. It appears by the 

 Statistical Account of the Lordship of Pulaway and 

 Konskowla, in the province of Lublin, which is consi- 

 dered to be one of the best managed estates in Poland, 

 consisting of 119?232 English acres, that the stock of 

 cattle, including those of the proprietor and his sub- 

 jects or tenants, is somewhat below what the Prussian 

 accounts show of the average of the province of Plock, 

 in the year 1803. It appears to be (see Appendix, 



No. 18) thus:
