London: James Ridgway 1844. First Edition 83 1 pp. disbound. An attack on an article in the Edinburgh Review which purported to deal with the debates in the House of Commons on the state of Ireland and the Irish Arms Bill. The stated object of this reply was "to point to the public the difficulty and impolicy of an attempt to force the Irish Catholics a provision for their clergy; at the same time to draw public attention to some measures of a plain and practical kind which may enlist the attention perhaps the support of men of all parties." Among other subjects the writer deals with the state of landed property the administration of justice to the poor the established church education the Irish Poor Law and the repeal of the Union London: James Ridgway, 1844 unknown

Compiled by Arieh Shahar Uzi Paran Arieh Bittan with a preface by Professor R. Bachi the Government Statistician.

Along with population data the volume also provides an exhaustive account of public buildings industrial areas commercial and business areas as well as agricultural and special function areas. The census divides Israel into 31 urban settlements with the total population in these administrative areas numbering at 1488622. Of the three major municipalities at the time Jerusalem prior to the annexation of East Jerusalem in 1967 numbers at 166301 residents Haifa at 182007 and Tel Aviv at at 386612.
