MIDDLESEX.

AN INLAND COUNTY, bounded on the North by Hertfordshire; on the East by Essex; on the South by the river Thames, which separates it from Surrey; and, on the West, by Buckinghamshire. It is about 23 miles long, and about 17 broad. It is divided into the six hundreds, of Edmonton, Elthorne, Gore, Isleworth, Kensington, and Spelthorne; and the three divisions, of Finsbury, Holborn, and the Tower. Its RIVERS are, the Thames, the Colne, the Lea, and the New River. It has nine MARKET-TOWNS; Barnet, Brentford, Edgware, Enfield, Finchley, Hounslow, Southall, Staines, Uxbridge; besides Mark-Lane, in the city of London. It returns eight members to parliament: two for the county, four for the city of London, and two for the city of Westminster. Middlesex contains 282 square miles, or 180,480 acres, and 197 parishes. It had 42 monastic establishments, and 78 public charities; it has 1 parish with less than a hundred inhabitants; 32 parishes with no parsonage-houses; 22 parishes with parsonage-houses unfit to live in. The POOR-RATES were, in 1818, 677,735l. 18. 5d.; the number of PAUPERS is 115,668; the rental of the county, according to a return made to parliament in 1818, was 5,595,5361. 17s. 7d.; the population, according to a return laid before parliament in 1821, was 1,144,531; the number of inhabited houses, in 1821, was 152,969; the number of uninhabited houses at the same epoch was 7,327; the poor

rates bear the proportion of one-eighth compared with the rental; the number of paupers, compared with the number of houses, is 1 to every house; the poor-rates, in 1776, were 79,090l. ; the number of persons to every square mile of this county is 4090; the number of acres to a person, 1; the number of acres to a house, 1. The male population, in 1821, was 533,573; the families employed in agriculture were in number 9,393; the families employed in handicraft were 161,356 in number; the number of other families was 91,122; the agricultural male population, 19,139; able labourers, 9,569; the number of acres of land in this county to every able-bodied labourer, 18. It is in the PROVINCE OF CANTERBURY, chiefly in the DIOCESE OF LONDON, but partly in that of CANTERBURY. It is in no circuit. Middlesex is not perfectly level, and yet it can scarcely be called hilly. By the side of the Thames, from the East India Docks to Chertsey, is a pretty broad level of alluvial rich soil, immensely productive in fruit, vegetables, or herbage, according as it is cropped; but the general aspect of the county away from the Thames, is, gently rising hills, divided into fields of rich pasture by hedges abounding in very stately elm timber. The highest lands are about Harrow, Highgate, and Barnet. The produce of Middlesex is, grass for the innumerable and extensive dairies for the supplying of London with milk, hay for the thousands of horses kept in and

about London, and vegetables and fruit for Covent-Garden and the other markets. Many hundreds of acres are also occupied in the different nurseries round the town of London in every direction. It is estimated that the waste lands of the county do not exceed 9000 acres, Hounslow Heath constituting 5000 out of the nine, and Finchley Common 1,500. The woods, which are but pleasure grounds, extend over no more than 3000 acres; so that the whole may be said to be either grazed or tilled. There are no mines; and the manufactures are confined to those of the silkweavers of Spittalfields.
