First Published in 2005.It is the primary object of this study to endeavour to elucidate the main causes of the rapid growth of population in England in the 18th and early 19th centuries, with special reference to the period 1750–1815. This enquiry is narrow in time and place but deals with the time and place in which the rapid growth of population had its origin. In pursuit of the main subject of this enquiry certain aspects of the period, previously often ignored, have been brought, into clearer perspective.
