14. Hence the Prince that acquires new Territory, if he finds it
vacant, or removes the Natives to give his own People Room; the
Legislator that makes effectual Laws for promoting of Trade,
increasing Employment, improving Land by more or better Tillage,
providing more Food by Fisheries; securing Property, &c. and the
Man that invents new Trades, Arts, or Manufactures, or new
Improvements in Husbandry, may be properly called Fathers of their
Nation, as they are the Cause of the Generation of Multitudes, by
the Encouragement they afford to Marriage.
15. As to Privileges granted to the married, (such as the Jus trium
Liberorum among the Romans,) they may hasten the filling of a
Country that has been thinned by War or Pestilence, or that has
otherwise vacant Territory; but cannot increase a People beyond the
Means provided for their Subsistence.
16. Foreign Luxuries and needless Manufactures, imported and used
in a Nation, do, by the same Reasoning, increase the People of the
Nation that furnishes them, and diminish the People of the Nation
that uses them. Laws, therefore, that prevent such Importations,
and on the contrary promote the Exportation of Manufactures to be
consumed in Foreign Countries, may be called (with Respect to the
People that make them) generative Laws, as, by increasing
Subsistence they encourage Marriage. Such Laws likewise
strengthen a Country, doubly, by increasing its own People and
diminishing its Neighbours.
17. Some European Nations prudently refuse to consume the
Manufactures of East-India:—They should likewise forbid them to
their Colonies; for the Gain to the Merchant is not to be compar'd
with the Loss, by this Means, of People to the Nation.
18. Home Luxury in the Great increases the Nation's Manufacturers
employ'd by it, who are many, and only tends to diminish the
Families that indulge in it, who are few. The greater the common
fashionable Expence of any Rank of People, the more cautious they
are of Marriage. Therefore Luxury should never be suffer'd to
become common.
19. The great Increase of Offspring in particular Families is not
always owing to greater Fecundity of Nature, but sometimes to
Examples of Industry in the Heads, and industrious Education; by
which the Children are enabled to provide better for themselves, and
their marrying early is encouraged from the Prospect of good
Subsistence.
20. If there be a Sect, therefore, in our Nation, that regard Frugality
and Industry as religious Duties, and educate their Children therein,
more than others commonly do; such Sect must consequently
increase more by natural Generation, than any other sect in Britain.
21. The Importation of Foreigners into a Country, that has as many
Inhabitants as the present Employments and Provisions for
Subsistence will bear, will be in the End no Increase of People;
unless the New Comers have more Industry and Frugality than the
Natives, and then they will provide more Subsistence, and increase
in the Country; but they will gradually eat the Natives out. Nor is it
necessary to bring in Foreigners to fill up any occasional Vacancy in
a Country; for such Vacancy (if the Laws are good, sec. 14, 16,) will
soon be filled by natural Generation. Who can now find the Vacancy
made in Sweden, France, or other Warlike Nations, by the Plague of
Heroism, 40 years ago; in France, by the Expulsion of the
Protestants, in England, by the Settlement of her Colonies; or in
Guinea, by 100 Years Exportation of Slaves, that has blacken'd half
America? The thinness of Inhabitants in Spain is owing to National
Pride and Idleness, and other Causes, rather than to the Expulsion
of the Moors, or to the making of new Settlements.
22. There is, in short, no Bound to the prolific Nature of Plants or
Animals, but what is made by their crowding and interfering with
each other's means of Subsistence. Was the Face of the Earth vacant
of other Plants, it might be gradually sowed and overspread with
one Kind only; as, for Instance, with Fennel; and were it empty of
other Inhabitants, it might in a few Ages be replenish'd from one
Nation only; as, for Instance, with Englishmen. Thus there are
suppos'd to be now upwards of One Million English Souls in North-
America, (tho' 'tis thought scarce 80,000 have been brought over
Sea,) and yet perhaps there is not one the fewer in Britain, but
rather many more, on Account of the Employment the Colonies
afford to Manufacturers at Home. This Million doubling, suppose but
once in 25 Years, will, in another Century, be more than the People
of England, and the greatest Number of Englishmen will be on this
Side the Water. What an Accession of Power to the British Empire by
Sea as well as Land! What Increase of Trade and Navigation! What
Numbers of Ships and Seamen! We have been here but little more
than 100 years, and yet the Force of our Privateers in the late War,
united, was greater, both in Men and Guns, than that of the whole
British Navy in Queen Elizabeth's Time. How important an Affair then
to Britain is the present Treaty for settling the Bounds between her
Colonies and the French, and how careful should she be to secure
Room enough, since on the Room depends so much the Increase of
her People.
23. In fine, a Nation well regulated is like a Polypus; take away a
Limb, its Place is soon supply'd; cut it in two, and each deficient Part
shall speedily grow out of the Part remaining. Thus if you have
Room and Subsistence enough, as you may by dividing, make ten
Polypes out of one, you may of one make ten Nations, equally
populous and powerful; or rather increase a Nation ten fold in
Numbers and Strength.[41]
And since Detachments of English from Britain, sent to America, will
have their Places at Home so soon supply'd and increase so largely
here; why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our
Settlements and, by herding together, establish their Language and
Manners, to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania,
founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly
be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them,
and will never adopt our Language or Customs any more than they
can acquire our Complexion?
24. Which leads me to add one Remark, that the Number of purely
white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is
black or tawny; Asia chiefly tawny; America (exclusive of the new
Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French,
Russians, and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy
Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted,
who, with the English, make the principal Body of White People on
the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased.
And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing
America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a
brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why
should we, in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? Why
increase the Sons of Africa, by planting them in America, where we
have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of
increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the
Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to
Mankind.

TO PETER COLLINSON[42]

Electrical Kite
[Philadelphia] Oct. 19, 1752.
Sir,
As frequent mention is made in public papers from Europe of the
success of the Philadelphia experiment for drawing the electric fire
from clouds by means of pointed rods of iron erected on high
buildings, &c., it may be agreeable to the curious to be informed,
that the same experiment has succeeded in Philadelphia, though
made in a different and more easy manner, which is as follows:
Make a small cross of two light strips of cedar, the arms so long as
to reach to the four corners of a large thin silk handkerchief when
extended; tie the corners of the handkerchief to the extremities of
the cross, so you have the body of a kite; which being properly
accommodated with a tail, loop, and string, will rise in the air, like
those made of paper; but this being of silk, is fitter to bear the wet
and wind of a thunder-gust without tearing. To the top of the upright
stick of the cross is to be fixed a very sharp-pointed wire, rising a
foot or more above the wood. To the end of the twine, next the
hand, is to be tied a silk ribbon, and where the silk and twine join, a
key may be fastened. This kite is to be raised when a thunder-gust
appears to be coming on, and the person who holds the string must
stand within a door or window, or under some cover, so that the silk
ribbon may not be wet; and care must be taken that the twine does
not touch the frame of the door or window. As soon as any of the
thunder-clouds come over the kite, the pointed wire will draw the
electric fire from them, and the kite, with all the twine, will be
electrified, and the loose filaments of the twine will stand out every
way, and be attracted by an approaching finger. And when the rain
has wet the kite and twine, so that it can conduct the electric fire
freely, you will find it stream out plentifully from the key on the
approach of your knuckle. At this key the phial may be charged; and
from electric fire thus obtained, spirits may be kindled, and all the
other electric experiments be performed, which are usually done by
the help of a rubbed glass globe or tube, and thereby the sameness
of the electric matter with that of lightning completely demonstrated.

Courteous Reader,

T
h i s is the twentieth Time of my addressing thee in this Manner, and I have reason to
flatter myself my Labours have not been unacceptable to the Publick. I am particularly
pleas'd to understand that my Predictions of the Weather give such general
Satisfaction; and indeed, such Care is taken in the Calculations, on which those Predictions
are founded, that I could almost venture to say, there's not a single One of them,
promising Snow, Rain, Hail, Heat, Frost, Fogs, Wind, or Thunder, but what comes to pass
punctually and precisely on the very Day, in some Place or other on this little diminutive
Globe of ours; (and when you consider the vast Distance of the Stars from whence we
take our Aim, you must allow it no small Degree of Exactness to hit any Part of it) I say on
this Globe; for tho' in other Matters I confine the Usefulness of my Ephemeris to the
Northern Colonies, yet in that important Matter of the Weather, which is of such general
Concern, I would have it more extensively useful, and therefore take in both Hemispheres,
and all Latitudes from Hudson's Bay to Cape Horn.
You will find this Almanack in my former Method, only conformable to the New-Stile
established by the Act of Parliament, which I gave you in my last at length; the new Act
since made for Amendment of that first Act, not affecting us in the least, being intended
only to regulate some Corporation Matters in England, before unprovided for. I have only
added a Column in the second Page of each Month, containing the Days of the Old Stile
opposite to their corresponding Days in the New, which may, in many Cases, be of Use;
and so conclude (believing you will excuse a short Preface, when it is to make Room for
something better)
Thy Friend and Servant,
R. SAUNDERS.

HYMN to the Creator, from Psalm CIV.

A
wake, my Soul! with Joy thy God adore;
Declare his Greatness; celebrate his Pow'r;
Who, cloath'd with Honour, and with Glory crown'd,
Shines forth, and cheers his Universe around.
Who with a radiant Veil of heavenly Light
Himself conceals from all created Sight.
Who rais'd the spacious Firmament on high,
And spread the azure Curtain of the Sky.
Whose awful Throne Heav'n's starry Arch sustains,
Whose Presence not Heav'n's vast Expanse restrains.
Whose Ways unsearchable no Eye can find,
The Clouds his Chariot, and his Wings the Wind
Whom Hosts of mighty Angels own their Lord,
And flaming Seraphim fulfil his Word.
Whose Pow'r of old the solid Earth did found,
Self-pois'd, self-center'd, and with Strength girt round;
From

From her appointed Sphere forbid to fly,

Or rush unbalanc'd thro' the trackless Sky.
To reas'ning Man the sov'reign Rule assign'd,
His Delegate o'er each inferior Kind;
Too soon to fall from that distinguish'd Place,
His Honours stain'd with Guilt and foul Disgrace.
He saw the Pride of Earth's aspiring Lord,
And in his Fury gave the dreadful Word:
Straight o'er her peopled Plains his Floods were
pour'd,
And o'er the Mountains the proud Billows roar'd.
Athwart the Face of Earth the Deluge sweeps,
And whelms the impious Nations in the Deeps:
Again God spake——and at his pow'rful Call
The raging Floods asswage, the Waters fall,
The Tempests hear his Voice, and straight obey,
And at his Thunder's Roar they haste away:
From off the lofty Mountains they subside,
And gently thro' the winding Vallies glide,
Till in the spacious Caverns of the Deep
They sink together, and in Silence sleep.
There he hath stretch'd abroad their liquid Plains,
And there Omnipotence their Rage restrains,
That Earth no more her Ruins may deplore,
And guilty Mortals dread their Wrath no more.
He bids the living Fountains burst the Ground,
And bounteous spread their Silver Streams around:
Down from the Hills they draw their shining Train,
Diffusing Health and Beauty o'er the Plain.
There the fair Flocks allay the Summer's Rage,
And panting Savages their Flame asswage.
On their sweet winding Banks th' aerial Race
In artless Numbers warble forth his Praise,
Or chant the harmless Raptures of their Loves,
And cheer the Plains, and wake the vocal Groves.
Forth from his Treasures in the Skies he pours
His precious Blessings in refreshing Show'rs.
Each dying Plant with Joy new Life receives,
And thankful Nature smiles, and Earth revives.
The fruitful Fields with Verdure he bespreads,
The Table of the Race that haunts the Meads,
And bids each Forest, and each flow'ry Plain
Send forth their native Physic for the Swain.
Thus

Thus doth the various Bounty of the Earth

Support each Species crowding into Birth.
In purple Streams she bids her Vintage flow,
And Olives on her Hills luxuriant grow,
One with its generous Juice to cheer the Heart,
And one illustrious Beauty to impart;
And Bread of all Heav'n's precious Gifts the chief
From desolating Want the sure Relief.
Which with new Life the feeble Limbs inspires,
And all the Man with Health and Courage fires.
The Cloud-topt Hills with waving Woods are crown'd,
Which wide extend their sacred Shades around,
There Lebanon's proud Cedars nod their Heads;
There Bashan's lofty Oaks extend their Shades:
The pointed Firs rise tow'ring to the Clouds,
And Life and warbling Numbers fill the Woods.
Nor gentle Shades alone, nor verdant Plains,
Nor fair enamell'd Meads, nor flow'ry Lawns,
But e'en rude Rocks and dreary Desarts yield
Retreats for the wild Wand'rers of the Field.
Thy Pow'r with Life and Sense all Nature fills,
Each Element with varied Being swells,
Race after Race arising view the Light,
Then silent pass away, and sink in Night.
The Gift of Life thus boundlesly bestow'd,
Proclaims th' exhaustless Hand, the Hand of God.
Nor less thy Glory in the etherial Spheres,
Nor less thy ruling Providence appears.
There from on high the gentle Moon by Night
 In solemn Silence sheds her Silver Light,
And thence the glorious Sun pours forth his Beams,
Thence copious spreads around his quick'ning
Streams.
Each various Orb enjoys the golden Day,
And Worlds of Life hang on his chearful Ray.
Thus Light and Darkness their fix'd Course maintain,
And still the kind Vicissitudes remain:
For when pale Night her sable Curtain spreads,
And wraps all Nature in her awful Shades,
Soft Slumbers gently seal each mortal Eye,
Stretch'd at their Ease the weary Lab'rers lie.
The restless Soul 'midst Life's vain Tumults tost,
Forgets her Woes, and ev'ry Care is lost.
Then

J A N U A R Y. I Month.
Then from their Dens the rav'nous Monsters creep,
Whilst in their Folds the harmless Bestial sleep.
The furious Lion roams in quest of Prey,
To gorge his Hunger till the Dawn of Day;
His hideous Roar with Terror shakes the Wood,
As from his Maker's Hand he asks his Food.
Again the Sun his Morning Beams displays,
And fires the eastern Mountain with his Rays.

their Magnitudes and Distances, when
those Distances are not too great to yield a
Parallax. Astronomers, for Example, know
certainly the Distance of the Moon from the
Earth, viz. 240 thousand Miles, because the
Moon yields a very sensible Parallax; and
they know, that the Sun's Distance from
the Earth is very probably, at least, ten
thousand Times the Diameter or Thickness
of the Earth, which is about eight thousand
Miles, and brings the whole Distance to
about eighty Millions of Miles. It is, I say,
hardly to be doubted, that the Distance
from the Sun to the Earth is, at least,
eighty Millions of Miles; but it is not
certainly known, whether it is not a great
deal more. In the Year 1761, the Distance
of all the Planets from the Sun will be
determined to a great Degree of Exactness
by Observations on a Transit of the Planet
Venus over the Face of the Sun, which is to
happen the 6th of May, O.S. in that Year.
But, according to the present Theory, the
Sun, to appear of the Magnitude he does to
our Eyes at the Distance of eighty Millions
of Miles, must be a Body a great many
hundred thousand Times larger than the
Earth, so that if his Centre were placed
where that of the Earth is, his outward
Surface would extend one hundred and
forty thousand Miles higher than the Orbit
of the Moon, his Diameter or Thickness
being seven hundred and sixty thousand
Miles, whereas that of the Earth is but
about eight thousand. This amazing World
