Area and Population.
The kingdom of Italy, at the last census of Dec. 31, 1861 — sup- plemented, in the case of the Venetian provinces, ceded to Italy in 1866, by an enumeration made by the Austrian Government in 1862 — had a total area of 284,243 square chilos, or kilometres, equal to 107,961 English square miles, with a population of 24,273,776. Not included in these numbers are the former Papal states, annexed to the kingdom by royal decree of October 9, 1870, possessing an area of 4,891 English square miles, with 692,106 inhabitants. There were five new delegations, or provinces, added to the State by the annexation, previous to which the kingdom was divided into 68 provinces. The names of these, areas in square chilos, number of population, and density of population per square chilo, are given in the subjoined table, drawn up after documents supplied by the Italian Government.
