Reliable returns of the personal census of the British North American Provinces show the following result:
| Canada | 2,506,755 |
| New Brunswick (over) | 250,000 |
| Nova Scotia | 330,000 |
| Prince Edward Island | 30,857 |
| Newfoundland | 122,638 |
| Total | 3,360,250 |
The population of the United States when they became a nation was scarcely so great as this. In 1790 it had not reach 4,000,000.
