of Government Statistical Office
(Zeitschrift für Demographie u.
Statistik d. Juden, 1911, p.119).
2 Report
of Warsaw Statistical Committee
(Zeitschrift für Demographie u.
Statistik d. Juden, 1911, p.88).
3 This
estimate is arrived at by adding together the figures of the Jewish population
in all the towns of the United Kingdom, as given in the Jewish Year-Book
for
1914, multiplying the number of families (where the population is so stated)
by 5, and assuming a minimum population of 30 for towns with a synagogue
for which no figure is given. The Jewish population of London is estimated
at 160,000 (the estimate of Joseph Jacobs for 1902 was 150,000,
Jewish
Encyclopedia, vol. viii. p.174).
4 According
to the last census in 1899 the Jews in Rumania numbered 266,652, but 55,000
emigrated in the period 1899-1905. It is probable that the population has
since been brought up to 170,000 by natural increase.
5 Estimated
after the territorial changes caused by the Balkan Wars.
6 Prof.
Loevinson's estimate is 45,000. Ostund West, September 1912.
7 The
discrepancy between this grand total and that given in the diagram at the
end of the book is due to the latter having been prepared before the publication
of the latest estimate of the Jews in the Argentine. |
