Notes
"Observations concerning the increase of mankind" (p. 50-56), written by Franklin in 1751, was first published as an appendix to William Clarke's " Observations on the late and present conduct of the French", 1755.
A criticism of "A letter addressed to two great men" by John Douglas, bishop of Salisbury, and "Remarks on the Letter address'd to two great men" attributed to William Burke (supposed author).
Ascribed by certain bibliographical authorities to Benjamin Franklin, by others to Richard Jackson. The latest editor of Franklin's works considers it the joint production of the two. Cf. "Writings of Benjamin Franklin, collected ... by A.H. Smyth", 1905, volume 1, pages 138--National Union Catalog pre-1956 imprints.
