¹⁸⁴ The figures for India are calculated from the _Statistical
Abstract for British India_, Second Number (1857–1866), Table No.
34, and the Eighth Number (1864–1873), Table No. 24. Figures for
England are taken from Appendix C (Statement 6) to the _First
Report of the Royal Commission of the Depression of Trade and
Industry_, 1885, with this alteration—that the separate figures in
the original under “Manufactured” and “Partially Manufactured” are
here grouped under “Manufactured.” The “Unclassified Articles”
under Indian Exports are for the most part “Jewellery.”
