(By the returns to the Population Act in
1811, it appears that in England, Scotland and Wales, there are
895,998 families chiefly employed in agriculture -- 1, 129,049 families
chiefly employed in trade and manufactures -- 640,500 individuals in the
army and navy -- and 519,168 families not engaged in any of these
employments. It follows that nearly half as many more persons are engaged
in trade as in agriculture -- and that of the whole population the
agriculturists are about 1 to 3.)
