4(J4 THESSALONICA. 
CHAP, this number are comprehended thirty thousand 
.. ^' . Turks, sixteen thousand Greeks, twelve thousand 
Jews, and a mixed population of Gipsies and 
Ethiopian slaves, amounting to two thousand. 
It is situate in 40°. 41'. lo" of north latitude, 
and 20°. 28" of east longitude, reckoned from 
the meridian of Pam'. The whole population 
of Macedonia amounts to seven hundred thou- 
sand individuals, which allows three hundred 
and seventy persons for every square league*; 
and of all aud that of all Greece has been calculated as 
equal to one million, nine hundred, and twenty 
thousand. Thessaly contains three hundred 
thousand ; JEtolia, Phocis, and Bceotia, two hun- 
dred thousand ; and Attica only twenty thou- 
sand. The inhabitants of the Morea amount to 
three hundred thousand ; and those of Epirus to 
four hundred thousand. The most fertile dis- 
tricts of Greece are, Macedonia, Thessaly, and 
the eastern parts of Phocis and Boeotia. The 
agricultural productions of Attica, owing to the 
lightness of its soil, are confined to barley and 
to be included, 1 5000 Jews, and 8000 Greeks ; the rest bein^ Turks. But 
as Beaujour has since published a very accurate work, containing^ a 
detailed account of the population uf Salonica, and resided himself 
upon the spot, we have not deemed it proper to differ from the account 
he has ^iven.
