I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many universities were within Europe by the completion of the 18th century?
All the background I'm provided with is that "This pace continued until by the end of the 18th century there were approximately 143 universities in Europe and Eastern Europe, with the highest concentrations in the German Empire (34), Italian countries (26), France (25), and Spain (23) –". Is that enough to answer the question?
