"There are reasons for believing that the English increase will far surpass others, and that the diffusion of the United States will ultimately produce the general population of America"

This quote by Ezra Stiles suggests that the population of England will grow faster than other nations, and that the population of the United States will ultimately become the majority of the population in America. This could be interpreted as a forecast of the future, as the population of the United States has grown significantly considering that the time of Stiles' writing. It could likewise be interpreted as a declaration of the importance of the United States in the world, as the population of the United States is now the biggest in the Americas. Stiles' quote could likewise be translated as a declaration of the importance of immigration to the United States, as the population of the United States has actually been mainly formed by migration from other countries. Eventually, Stiles' quote recommends that the population of the United States will continue to grow and become most of the population in America.
