, p. 130. 378 LAW OF POPULATION : [Book IV. This fact has been recently proved ; the last census of that empire, which, perhaps, is the only statistical document of this nature that can be fully relied upon, gives us the following results. In the Greek com- munion, comprising 40, 351, 000 souls, the marriages were, in 1820, 317, 805, or about 1 marriage in every 126 individuals: arguing, it is true, no peculiar ex- emption from the preventive check, but, on the other hand, proving that the wedd...ings are not more nu- merous, and cannot, therefore, be contracted earlier, than in England, where in that year they were as 1 to 122, and the deaths in a much smaller proportion than in Russia^; still further proving, that if the "pre- ventive check" prevails at all, it prevails more in the latter than in the former country. But the proportion of births to marriages was 4. 94 to 1, a prolificness only to be accounted for on the principle for which I am contending.
