Abstract
Abstract Dear Sir, Having lately wrote to you my observations, concerning the number of inhabitants in London and Westminster, this has led me also to consider, whether there may not be some way to compute nearly, the number of people throughout England; and if it can be done, there are many political uses may be drawn, which may prevent mistakes in Government, and that will tend to promote the strength and riches of the Nation.
