Physical Description

26 leaves, In unknown hand E; additions by ? This essay is in a laboured hand; additions are very cursive, probably the work of one or two others; none looks much like Garcin's hand. Perhaps it is a schoolboy's essay, corrected by his tutor. Additions mention Hume's and Wallace's stands on population growth, so they must be 1753 or later.
