The population of Cornwall is given for the years 1700 and 1750, at 105,800 and 135,000; but I know not on what authority. The years 1801, 1811, 1821, and 1831 are from the Parliamentary publications founded on the actual census on each occasion. POPULATION OF CORNWALL. In 1700 | In 1750 | In 1801 | In 1811 | In 1821 | In 1831 ――――――- | ――――――- | ――――――- | ――――――- | ――――――- | ――――――- 105,800 | 135,000 | 194,500 | 216,667 | 257,447 | 301,017 The per-centages of increase taken for 30 years, at the rate between each interval, are 15¾ per cent., 24 per cent., 38¼ per cent., 67¾ per cent., and 60 per cent. At the rate of increase from 1700 to 1750, 1000 would become in a century 1628, and would double in 140 years. At the rate of increase from 1750 to 1801, 1000 would become in a century 2046, and would double in 96,8 years. At the rate of increase from 1801 to 1811, 1000 would become in a century 2943, and would double in 64,2 years. At the rate of increase from 1811 to 1821, 1000 would become in a century 5610, and would double in 40,2 years. At the rate of increase from 1821 to 1831, 1000 would become in a century 4776, and would double in 44,3 years. The population of Cornwall being in 1831, according to the actual census, 301,017, if it continued to increase accordingly for a century at the rate ascertained between 1811 and 1821, the number of people in 1931 would amount to one million six hundred and eighty-eight thousand six hundred and fifty!
