Observations on the past growth and present state of the city of London. To which are annexed, a complete table of the christnings [sic] and burials within this city from 1601 to 1750, both years inclusive; together with a table of the numbers which have annually died of each disease from 1675 to the present time; and also a further table representing the respective numbers which have annually died of each age from 1728 to this year; from which is particularly attempted to be shewn the increasing destruction of infants and adults in this city; and consequent thereto, the excessive drain which it continually makes upon all the provinces of this kingdom for recruits; to which are added, some proposals for a better regulation of the police of this metropolis. By the author of A letter from a bystander.
