Sir william Petty'- Prediction.

One Of tho most striking instances we
know Of the wisdom OF our ancestors is the
prediction of Sir William Petty, 200 years
ago, that in the nineteenth century London
would contain 4,003.OO0 inhabitants. And

Sir William Petty's day. In fact, there had
been scarcely anything in that line since
the compilation of Norman Williams
sDoomsday Book" Excluding the London
district from the metropolis proper, Petty's
prophecy was wonderfully exact. But be-
