Abstract
Euler’s virtually unknown article, published by the Belgian Académie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres in 1760, anticipates important parts of modern stable population theory for a one-sex population closed to migration. Its ideas have been published many times during the subsequent two centuries by writers who independently rediscovered them.
Theoretical Population Biology 1: 307–314. Translated by Nathan and Beatrice Keyfitz.
