At the census of 1857, the last preceding that of Dec. 81, 1869, the population of the empire amounted to 87,339,913 souls, living on an area of 11,606 Austrian, or 243,727 English square miles. By the cession of its Italian provinces, in 1859 and 1866, the empire lost 4,766,910 inhabitants, and an area of 790 Austrian, or 16,493 English square miles, being a territory larger in extent and population than the kingdom of the Netherlands. Comparing the extent of the empire as constituted at the date of the census of 1869 with similar limits at the census of 1857, the population at the latter date was 32,580,002, showing an increase of 3,413,590 in the course of twelve years, or rather more than 1 per cent, per annum.
More than two-thirds of the population of the empire are engaged in husbandry. In Bohemia, however, and in Lower Austria and Moravia, where the chief efforts for fostering a manufacturing interest are made, about one-half of the population is withdrawn from the cultivation of the soil.
The population is divided with respect to race and language into the following nationalities, according to an official estimate: —
