第 136 頁 - In two centuries the population would be to the means of subsistence as 256 to 9; in three centuries as 4096 to 13, and in two thousand years the difference would be almost incalculable.
第 126 頁 - The laws and conditions of the production of wealth, partake of the character of physical truths. There is nothing optional, or arbitrary in them.
