Agn 'cultural Administration in Anstria-Hunaary. 675 
Into the grave political questions involved in the almost opeu 
rivalry between Austria and Hungary, and the forcing of the 
hand of the former State by the economic and commercial 
legislation of the latter (such, for instance, as the Zone tariff 
on railways), it is, fortunately, r.o part of my province to go. 
But, as we are accustomed to speak of Austria as an entity, it is 
well to remember that it is compounded of no less than fourteen 
different Provinces, all of which have their special peculiarities 
of race and language, and in many of which the anti-German 
element is very strong. In wealth, population, and civilisation, 
the western half of the Empire is incontestably superior. But it 
is, on the other hand, as will be seen by a glance at the Map on 
p. 677, geographically less compact, and is inhabited by popu- 
lations differing more widely than those of the kingdom of 
Hungary in the degrees of civilisation which they have respec- 
tively attained. 
The subjoined Table gives the names of each province of 
Austria-Hungary, with its area in square miles, the estimated 
number of its inhabitants at the end of 1888, and the density of 
its population : —

I have placed the Austrian and Hungarian provinces (or as 
they are sometimes called, the Cisleithan and Transleithan 
provinces — from the small river Leitha, which partially divides 
the two) on opposite sides of this Table, in order to accentuate 
the fact that each has practically complete autonomy in the ad- 
ministration of its affairs. In fact, it may assist the reader's 
comprehension of what follows if he will regard Austria and
