He estimated the area at 39,000,000 acres (recent surveys make it
37,319,221). He estimated the arable land at 11,000,000 acres, and
pasture and meadow at 10,000,000, a total of 21,000,000. The area
under all kinds of crops and permanent pasture was, in 1874,
26,686,098 acres; therefore about five and a half million acres
have been reclaimed and added to the arable land. As the
particulars of his estimate may prove interesting, I append them in
a note.

Wales:
