Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Vol. 49: For March June 1829; To Be Continued Quarterly Although the happiness of a country does not depend on the circumstance of the inhabitants being few or many, but on the proportion which they bear to the supply of necessaries, conveniences, and enjoyments at their disposal, still it is on many accounts extremely desirable to know their exact number. A nation having only ten millions of people, might be decidedly more powerful than a nation with twenty millions, if they were less instructed, less industrious, or less rich. But other things being the same, there can be no doubt that the political power and importance of a nation will be in a very great degree dependent on the amount of its population. Although, however, the magnitude of the population of a country had no influence in determining the place which it must occupy in the scale of nations, still there are many most interesting subjects of enquiry which cannot be successfully prosecuted till this magnitude be known. It is impossible, for example, to determine the extent to which levies of individuals, either for the military service, or for any other object, may be safely carried, unless the population has been enumerated and classed.
