:, lions on Europe" says that there pre- "a
Il bout 2S millions of Inhabitants in Great
/, Britain. That The regular annual in
crease is 420 ,000 whereas the greatest
amount of emigration, being in The fam
5 inc year lS4S. was only about 27O,000.
From this annual addition 10 an already
overcrowded people, where wretched;
ness increases. or elbow room grows

8 riod not Gistan, the present organization
!, of the British Government must come TO
violent end. unless peaceful revolu'
= lion shall provide speedierremedy.
