Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Certain Tests of a Thriving Population: Four Lectures Delivered Before the University of Oxford, in Lent Term, 1845 Adam Smith, in the 8th chapter of the "Wealth of Nations," has laid it down that "the most decisive mark of the prosperity of a country is the increase of the number of its inhabitants." "It is plain, however," adds Mr. M´Culloch in commenting on this passage, "that this remark must be received with great modification," and M. Blanqui, in his improved edition of M. Garnier´s French version of Dr. Smith´s work, appends at the foot of the page the words "etl´Ireland!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
