| Abstract: |
Travelers from France, Scotland and elsewhere said that England by the seventeenth or eighteenth century was by far the richest country in Europe in terms of clothes, houses, food, leisure (only equaled by the small country of Holland). This was related to late age at marriage, small families and the fact that economic advance over the centuries had not been drained by rapid population growth. |
