Each Pursues His Own Theory,

Had Population And Food Increased In The Same Ratio, It Is Probable That Man Might Never Have Emerged From The Savage State.

Nature Herself In Times Of Great Poverty Or Bad Climatic Conditions, As Well As Poor Harvest, Intervenes To Restrict The Increase Of Population Of Certain Countries Or Races; This, To Be Sure, By A Method As Wise As It Is Ruthless.

The Labouring Poor, To Use A Vulgar Expression, Seem Always To Live From Hand To Mouth. Their Present Wants Employ Their Whole Whole Attention, And They Seldom Think Of The Future. Even When They Have An Opportunity Of Saving They Seldom Exercise It, But All That Is Beyond Their Present Neccessities Goes, Generally Speaking, To The Ale House.

The Histories Of Mankind Are Histories Only Of The Higher Classes.

The Superior Power Of Population Cannot Be Checked Without Producing Misery Or Vice.
