Synopsis
Excerpt from Dissertation on the Numbers of Mankind, in Ancient and Modern Times
The Author of the following Dissertation on the Numbers of Mankind, is desired by the Philosophical Society at Edinburgh, to acquaint the public, that it was composed several years ago, and was read before them.
For his own part, as he has the honour to be a member of that Society, he had no thoughts of publishing his essay till it should have a place among their works, if they thought it deserved that honour. As they had not determined to publish their Transactions, he was advised to embrace an opportunity of publishing his Dissertation at a time, when he might hope for the attention of the learned, which had been already excited to consider this subject, by Mr Hume's Political Discourse, of the Populousness of Antient Nations: he has therefore published it, in its original form, with some additions made to it, since it was presented to the Philosophical Society.
The Dissertation is followed by an Appendix, which was not read before the Philosophical Society.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book questions the theory that human population has consistently grown since the beginning of civilization. The author provides historical evidence that many ancient civilizations may have been more populous than modern ones, tracing this phenomenon to cultural shifts such as shifts in dietary norms and increased urban living. The author argues that our understanding of ancient civilizations is incomplete and that our assumptions about population growth may be erroneous. This book may challenge conventional wisdom about human history and population and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in historical demography. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781440045509_0
