Each Pursues His Own Theory, Little Solicitous

Instead Of Recommending Cleanliness To The Poor, We Should Encourage Contrary Habits. In Our Towns We Should Make The Streets Narrower, Crowd More People Into The Houses, And Court The Return Of The Plague.

The Most Effectual Encouragement To Population Is, The Activity Of Industry, And The Consequent Multiplication Of The National Products.

Evil Exists In The World Not To Create Despair But Activity.

Where There Are Few People, And A Great Quantity Of Fertile Land, The Power Of The Earth To Afford A Yearly Increase Of Food May Be Compared To A Great Reservoir Of Water, Supplied By A Moderate Stream. The Faster Population Increases, The More Help Will Be Got To Draw Off The Water, And Consequently An Increasing Quantity Will Be Taken Every Year. But The Sooner, Undoubtedly, Will The Reservoir Be Exhausted, And The Streams Only Remain.

I Think It Will Be Found That Experience, The True Source And Foundation Of All Knowledge, Invariably Confirms Its Truth.
