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 14 - In the next period, the population would be eighty-eight millions, and the means of subsistence just equal to the support of half that number. And at the conclusion of the first century, the population would be...

Σελίδα 4 - The cause to which I allude is the constant tendency in all animated life to increase beyond the nourishment prepared for it.
