What reason of remarkable prosperity of London? Already its population - one fifth all population of England and the Wales, and it increases at the rate of approximately 20 percent. In a decade. Three hundred persons are added to number every day in year, norm of 110 000 inhabitants during a year. It now one half is more than the general number of the population of all Ireland. The Scottish population of London is almost so numerous as that from Edinburgh while its Irish population is rather so numerous as that from Dublin. Each civilised country is presented among its people, and in each civilised language speak among them. The brick and mortar sea, even now fifteen miles in length and ten miles widely, it grows at the rate of the new house each hour of its existence. Its streets already - 28 000 miles in length, and they extend so quickly, that every year many the whole villages and small towns are confused by them. Every day 1 000 000 persons enter into London the railway, and in [71] least quantity, 500 000 persons have employment in it in the afternoon who lives out of its limits
At night. Fifty thousand persons have employment in it in night time who lives out of its limits within day. It is the greatest centre of importation in the Great Britain, and the greatest in the world, and its export is exceeded only by Liverpool, and not always Liverpool. It - also the centre of financial business in the world. For example, dealers in the East Indies which send cargoes of spices and other East product to America, drawn games in settlement on London, instead of on New York while dealers in America which send cargoes, like Marseilles or Riga, drawn games in settlement on London, instead of on Paris or St.-Petersburg. What this which thus does London by the main place of the population in the world, commercial capital of the world, the big financial clearing house of the world?
