On a mere glance at the foregoing table we are astonished at the 

 greatness of tlie Russian empire; it occupies more than half of Europe. 

 Arranged in the order of their size, there follow Sweden and Norway, 

 Anstro-Hungary, the German empire, France, Spain, Turkey, Great 

 Britain and Ireland, and Italy, all of which together do not comprise fonr- 

 tenths of the surface. 



Ranged according to population, the above-named states will appear in 

 the following order: Russia, Germany, Fi-ance, Austro-Hungary, Great 

 Britain and Ireland, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Sweden and Norway. Rus- 

 sia retains the first place, but the kingdom of Sweden and Norway 

 ranks with the small countries ; it is the least densely populated country 

 in Europe, as is evident by examining the column of the preceding- 

 table, headed " Inhabitants per square mile." 



Passing over the very small countries whose population does not reacli 

 one million, and which would furnish but illusory or excepiional results,* 

 we remark that there are two second-rate countries which rank in this 

 particular with the great powers, namely, Belgium and the Netherlands, 

 which have the greatest number of inhabitants per square mile, that 

 is, in the language of statisticians, haA'e the densest population. They 

 are followed by Great Britain and Ireland, Italy, Geroiany, France, 



* Thus it is evident that we would not place in tiae front rank Helgoland, Gibraltar, 

 and Malta, on one hand, and Monaco, on the other, the densities of whose populations 

 reach the following numbers: 427.65 aud 208.4G ]Der square kilometer, or 1,106 aud 521 

 per square mile.
