434 Of the Checks to Population Bk. ii. 



instead of 9,055,000. Hence it follows, that the 

 estimate from the births in 1795 cannot be 

 correct. 



To obtain the population at that period, the 

 safest way is to apply the before-mentioned cor- 

 rections to the registers, and, having made the 

 allowance of A\ per cent, on the male births for 

 the deaths abroad, subtract the remaining excess 

 of the births from the corrected returns of 1 800. 

 The result in this case will be 8,831,086 for the 

 population of 1795, implying an increase in the 

 five years of 455,914, instead of only 113,000, as 

 shewn by the table calculated from the births. 



If we proceed in the same manner with the 

 period from 1790 to 1795, we shall find that the 

 excess of births above the deaths (after the fore- 

 going corrections have been applied, and an al- 

 lowance has been made of 4-t per cent, upon the 

 male births for the deaths abroad), will be 

 415,669, which, subtracted from 8,831,086, the 

 population of 1795, as above estimated, leaves 

 8,415,417 for the population of 1790. 



Upon the same principle, the excess of the 

 births above the deaths in the interval between 

 1785 and 1790 will turn out to be 416,776. The 

 population in 1785 will therefore be 7,998,641. 

 And in like manner the excess of the births above 

 the deaths in the interval between 1780 and 1785 

 will be 277,544, and the population in 1780 

 7,721,097. 



The two tables therefore, of the population, 

 from 1780 to 1810, will stand thus :
