Germans, 650,000 Dacian Romans, 750,000 Tshúds, 3,400,000 Tartars, 2,150,000 Mongols, 250,000 Munshús, 100,000 Hyperborean Races, 200,000 Caucasian Tribes, 2,750,000 Greeks, 70,000 Jews, 1,600,000 Gipsies, 30,800 Miscellaneous, 50,000 --------- 12,000,000 ---------- Total, 70,000,000 In respect to religion, there are probably in the Russian Empire 50,000,000 belonging to the so-called _Greek_ Church (i. e. _Byzantine_ Catholics); about 7,000,000 _Roman_ Catholics (chiefly Poles); and upwards of 3,000,000 Protestants (Germans and Tshúds). Relative proportion of the dominant race to the other races in the Russian dominions:--Slávs to non Slávs, as 29 to 6, or 4·8 to 1: Russians to non-Russians, as 7 to 3, or 2·3 to 1. No other state in Europe possesses so numerous a population belonging to one nation. Even France contains but 32,000,000 of Frenchmen out of 35,000,000 or 36,000,000 of inhabitants; and Great Britain about 19,000,000 of Englishmen out of 30,000,000 of inhabitants. The 36,000,000 inhabitants of Great Russia speak identically the same language, from the highest classes to the lowest, from the Emperor to the peasant. The dialects of the White Russians and of 7,000,000 of Little Russians are slightly different, but still comprehensible. To this complete unity of language must be added, among the Great Russians, the most surprising uniformity of manners and customs. Another still more important element of political strength is the unity of the Russian Church. This unity is complete amongst the Little Russians and Ruthenians, a few of the latter only being in communion with the Church of Rome. The Great Russians are divided by a schism, but the Staroverzi (or members of the old faith) have seceded from the Established Church, not on the grounds of doctrine, but of ceremonial usages.
