PROPORTION BETWEEN JOURNALS AND POPULATION IN THE DIFFERENT STATES OF EUROPE. [According to M Quetelet: see "Bulletin des Sciences Géographiques," &c. for May, 1830.] I. SWEDEN AND NORWAY. The Swedish monarchy comprises Sweden and Norway, two of the least fertile and least populous countries in Europe; and, excepting Russia, it possesses a greater extent of territory than any other European sovereignty. In 1808, Sweden lost Finland, which was conquered by Russia; but in 1814, this loss was repaired by the acquisition of Norway. Sweden comprises three general divisions, Gothland, Sweden Proper, and Norrland, which are now divided into 26 läns or governments; and Norway, formerly divided into the four dioceses, or governments, of Aggerhuus, Christiansand, Bergen, and Drontheim, is now formed into 18 divisions. 9,100 French, Norwegians, 1,040,770 Germans and Danes, 2,500 Negroes, 15,000 Laplanders, 2,200 RELIGION. Lutherans, 3,815,214; with a few Moravians and Jews: 4,000 Catholics in the island of St. Bartholomew. One archbishop (Upsal), and 11 bishops; 2,537 parishes; 3,476 clergymen. The Scandinavian peninsula is one of the best educated portions of Europe. The system of mutual instruction is extended over Norway; and, in Sweden, almost every peasant can read. GOVERNMENT. Sweden and Norway have different Constitutions, though they are under the government of one and the same king, who is, of all constitutional monarchs of Europe, one of the most limited. The monarchical power is hereditary; but females are excluded. The liberty of the press is secured by a fundamental law. The king appoints to all employments, and has the right of conferring pardons; but he cannot make any new laws, or interpret old ones, raise taxes, or declare war, without the consent of the States, which he alone has the power of convoking. The Senate, or Court of Peers, is composed of 22 members; and 12 counsellors of the crown form a Council of State. The legislative body, styled the Diet, or States-General, consists of four orders; 1st, nobles, in which order each noble family has its representative; 2dly, clergy, represented by the bishops, and also by pastors chosen in each chapter; 3dly, burgesses, who are chosen by the principal towns; 4thly, |
