D. 1840 the people of the city will be 10,718,880,
and those of the whole country but 10,917,389, which is but
inconsiderably more. Wherefore it is certain and necessary that the
growth of the city must stop before the said year 1840, and will be
at its utmost height in the next preceding period, A.D. 1800, when
the number of the city will be eight times its present number,
5,359,000. And when (besides the said number) there will be
4,466,000 to perform the tillage, pasturage, and other rural works
necessary to be done without the said city, as by the following
table, viz.:-
A.D. Burials People in People in
London England
1565 2,568 77,040 5,526,929
As in the } 1605 5,135
former table } 1642 11,883
} 1682 22,331 669,930 7,369,230
1722 44,662
1762 89,324
1802 178,648 5,359,440 9,825,650
1842 357,296 10,718,889 10,917,389
Now, when the people of London shall come to be so near the people
of all England, then it follows that the growth of London must stop
before the said year 1842, as aforesaid, and must be at its greatest
height A.D. 1800, when it will be eight times more than now, with
above 4,000,000 for the service of the country and ports, as
aforesaid.
