Had population and food increased in the same ratio, it is probable that man might never have emerged from the savage state.

Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio.

The employment of the poor in roads and public works, and a tendency among landlords and persons of property to build, to improve and beautify their grounds, and to employ workmen and menial servants, are the means most within our power and most directly calculated to remedy the evils arising from that disturbance in the balance of produce and consumption.
