Σελίδα 114 - Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

Σελίδα 4 - The cause to which I allude is the constant tendency in all animated life to increase beyond the nourishment prepared for it. It is observed by Dr. Franklin that there is no bound to the prolific nature of plants or animals but what is made by their crowding and interfering with each other's means of subsistence.
Σελίδα 10 - ... population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every twentyfive years, or increases in a geometrical ratio.
