X. ECCLESIASTICAL STATISTICS OF GREAT BRITAIN. CENSUS OF 1851.

NOTE.-1. EPISCOPAL CHURCH.-As no official census of the membership of the several denominations in Great Britain is taken, it is doubtful how large a portion of the population belongs to the Episcopal Church. From a careful comparison of the marriage, educational, and other statistics, it is, however, probable that in England proper from 65 to 70 per cent. of the population are connected with the Established Church.

Bishops, 26: Bangor, Bath and Wells, Carlisle, Chester, Chichester, Durham, Ely, Exeter, Gloucester and Bristol, Hereford, Lichfield, Lincoln, Liandaff, London, Manchester, Norwich, Oxford, Peterborough, Ripon, Rochester, St. Asaph's, St. David's, Salisbury, Sodor and Man, Winchester, Worcester.
