es.[26] Thomas Malthus is famous for his rule of population growth and credited Franklin for discovering it.[27] Kammen (xxxx) and Drake (xxxx) say Franklin's "Observations on the Increase of Mankind" (xxxx) stands alongside Ezra Stiles' "Discourse on Christian Union" (xxxx) as the leading works of eighteenth century Anglo-American demography; Drake credits Franklin's "wide readership and prophetic insight."[28][29] In the xxxxs and xxxxs, Franklin began taking notes on population growth, finding that the American population had the fastest growth rates on earth.[30] Emphasizing that population growth depended on food supplies--a line of thought later developed by Thomas Malthus--Franklin emphasized the abundance of food and available farmland in America. He calculated that America's population was doubling every twenty years and would surpass that of England in a century.[31] In xxxx, he drafted "Observations concerning the Increase of Mankind, Peopling of Countries, &c." Four years later, it was anonymously printed in Boston, and it was quickly reproduced in Britain, where it influenced economists Adam Smith and later Thomas Malthus. Franklin's predictions alarmed British leaders who did not want to be surpassed by the colonies, so they became more willing to impose restrictions on the colonial economy.[32] Franklin was also a pioneer in the study of slave demography, as shown in his xxxx
essay.[33] Atlantic Ocean currents As deputy postmaster, Franklin became interested in the North Atlantic Ocean circulation patterns. While in England in xxxx, he heard a complaint from the Colonial Board of Customs: Why did it take British packet ships carrying mail several weeks longer to reach New York than it took an average merchant ship to reach Newport, Rhode Island? The merchantmen had a longer and more complex voyage because they left from London, while the packets left from Falmouth in Cornwall. Franklin put the question to his cousin Timothy Folger, a Nantucket whaler captain, who told him that merchant ships routinely avoided a strong eastbound mid-ocean current. The mail packet captains sailed dead into it, thus fighting an adverse current of 3 miles per hour (5 km/h). Franklin worked with Folger and other experienced ship captains, learning enough to chart the current and name it the Gulf Stream, by which it is still known today. Franklin published his Gulf Stream chart in xxxx in England, where it was completely ignored. Subsequent versions were printed in France in xxxx and the U.S. in xxxx. The British edition of the chart, which was the original, was so thoroughly ignored that everyone assumed it was lost forever until Phil Richardson, a Woods Hole Oceanographer and Gulf Stream expert, discovered it in Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris in xxxx.[34][35] This find received front
