Sinossi
Excerpt from On Certain Tests of a Thriving Population: Four Lectures Delivered Before the University of Oxford, in Lent Term, 1845
Let us take,-for instance, the article of grain in the first place. Mr. Charles Smith, in his Tracts on the Corn Trade, estimated the population of England and Wales in 1760 at which is sufficiently near the truth for our present en quiry. The entire consumption of grain at that time he estimated to be quarters, of which quarters were wheat, and of the remainder consisted of barley, of rye, and of oats.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth analysis into the connection between increased prosperity and population growth, using the example of England over a 70-year period. The author argues that an absolute increase in national prosperity will invariably be attended with an increase in population, as observed in England's doubling population and quadrupling grain consumption from 1776 to 1841. The book examines how England's prosperity increased faster than its population due to capital growth, shown in the consumption of animal foods and the doubling of cattle and sheep sold at Smithfield Market over the same period.
