Benken gives the number of inhabitants at four
millions; Wichmann in 1813, at 6,380,000; Arsenjef at seven millions.
According to Broemsen's _Russland und das ruessische Reich,_ Berl. 1819,
there are not more than 850,000 Poles among them, nearly all noblemen;
the lower classes are Russniaks and Lithuanians. In our statement of
the number of Poles in these provinces, we have followed Schaffarik.]
[Footnote 6: See above, p. 51; also, pp. 59, 60, n. 17.]
[Footnote 7: These statements seem to disagree with those of Hassel,
which rest on the authority of the returns of 1820. He states that
Austrian Poland has 4,226,969 inhabitants; Prussian Poland, 2,584,124.
The population of the former consists however of a large proportion of
Russniaks, and more especially of Jews; the latter has a similar
proportion of German inhabitants.]
[Footnote 8: Other private estimates make them not more than seven
millions.]
[Footnote 9: We doubt whether any but Slavic organs would be able to
pronounce the name of the place, to which the college of Zamose was
removed. It is written _Szczebrzeszyn_.]
[Footnote 10: Zaluski and Minasovrez wrote verses with _counted_ not
_measured_ syllables, without rhyme; Przybylski's and Staszye's
translations of Homer are in hexameters.
