The following tabular statement will not be void of interest to the reader, nor entirely out of place in a work of this character. Though but a small proportion of the population of the globe bears the christian name, yet about one half are under christian governments, and, in some measure subjected to wholesome laws. The following table will show the correctness of this remark:

Population under Christian governments

387, 788, 000 Population under Mohammedan governments

72, 000, 000 Population under Heathen governments

-277, 212, 000

Total 737, 000, 000

Those under Christian governments are thus divided:

Protestant States

193, 624, 000 Roman Catholic States

134, 164, 000 Russian, or Greek Church

60, 000, 000 Total 387, 788, 000

Almost one hundred and fifty millions belong to the British Empire.
