From Glyde, J. (1856). Localities of crime in Suffolk. Journal of the Statistical Society of London, 19, 102-106.

Suffolk, the county whose criminality we have carefully examined, is situated in the Eastern District of England, and is one of the largest of English shires. It must be classed as one of our best agricultural counties, although partly maritime, having nearly fifty miles of sea coast. In 1851 it had 69,282 inhabited houses, 71,451 separate occupiers, and 337,215 persons. It had 238 persons and 47 houses to a square mile, 28 acres to every 10 persons, and about 28 percent of its population was located in towns.
