Populationism. Quesnay started the question in his talks with Mirabeau the Elder. How and why did it arises at the time? Especially as a large population was unanymously regarded as favorable.

Townsend raised the same question and seems to know only Dampier's voyages. What is the relevance? Malthus took over Townsend's formulation. Was Godwin influenced by Townsend? A large population, on the face of it, would be what the manufacturers need? Why then the spectre of overpopulation? Pitt definitely objected to the panic. It is not clear what the topical aspect of the question was. Burke speaks as is if relative overpopulation were an obvious fact (colonies should take the undesirable population, he suggests).
