Area and Population. — The area of the ancient and administrative county is 175,836 acres or 275 square miles, with a population in 1881 of 51,416, and in 1901 of 50,590, the number of persons per square mile being 184, and of acres to a person 3-48. The area of the registration county is 120,199 acres with a population in 1891 of 34,219. Within this area the increase of population between 1891 and 1901 was 1'0 per cent. The excess of births over deaths between 1881 and 1891 was 2392, and the decrease in the resident population was 908.

Constitution and Government.—Anglesea returns one member to parliament, and it has now no parliamentary borough. _ there is one municipal borough, Beaumaris (2310). _ The following are urban districts : Holyhead (10,072), Llangefni (1751), and Menai Bridge (1600). It is in the North Wales circuit, assizes being held lit Beaumaris. There are forty-four ecclesiastical districts or parishes, all in the diocese of Bangor. . Education.—The number of elementary schools on 31st August 1899 was 64, of which 39 were board and 25 voluntary schools, the latter including 22 Church of England schools, 1 Roman Catholic, and 2 “ British and other.” The average attendance at board schools was 4060, and at voluntary schools 2330. 1 fie total school board receipts for the year ending 29th September 1899 were over £14,242.

The preceding table gives the larger main divisions of the cultivated area at intervals of five years from 1880.

The mining industries have been gradually declining, and in 1899 only employed 549 persons. Copper has almost ceased to be worked, but some zinc is still obtained. In 1899 there were raised 61,557 tons of limestone and 23,711 of sandstone. Fish are plentiful round the whole coast. The fish landed at Holyhead in 1899 amounted to 17,708 cwt., valued at £3288 ; and the total value, including shell-fish, was £3562. See Rowland, Mona Antiqua Bestaurata.

Anglican Communion. — The Anglican communion consists of the churches of England and Ireland, the Scottish Episcopal Church, and the daughter churches which have sprung from them and are in full communion with them; chief amongst these latter being, of course, the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States of North America. Until the 19 th century these latter were so few in number and so insignificant in size that such a phrase might well have seemed needless : to-day the churches of the Anglican Communion are a power throughout the world. Together they constitute one of the three great historical divisions of Christendom; the others, of course, being the churches of the Homan obedience and those of the Orthodox east. Ihe Church of England was already, in the 8th century, a “ mother of churches” on the mainland of Europe, through the work of Willibrord, Boniface, and their followers: after this, however, it suffered from the general stagnation, so far as aggressive work was concerned, which overtook most of western Christendom. Nor did it readily emulate the example of missionary activity shown in the 16th century by the Jesuits. Some care was taken to provide for the immediate spiritual needs of English colonists in America, and many isolated efforts were made to convert the Indians. But the predominant Calvinistic theology was not conducive to missionary work, whilst supposed legal difficulties, and the current theory of Church and State, long prevented the consecration of bishops for the Colonies. Archbishop Laud attempted to obtain a bishop for Virginia. A nomination was actually made by Charles II., and other efforts were put forth in the early part of the 18th century; but they all came to nothing. In spite of increasingly urgent petitions, the Colonies still remained unprovided for. Meanwhile they were theoretically under the care of the bishops of London, who from time to time sent commissaries to America, and ordained young men who were sent to England for the
