Abstract: Abstract Booth surveyed the re-creation of the Britain of his day and was well satisfied. Seventeen million additional people had been provided for, while the numbers engaged in agriculture had remained comparatively constant. But, he asked a little anxiously, could the process continue? We are now in a position to see whether his satisfaction was well based, and his anxiety unnecessary.
