many millions of our brethren in france deprived
OF the first nGcesssares OF life.
Bat, nevertheless. our present food, with which
content myself at the common table, is infinitely
better than that Of the masses OF the peo-
re OF Europe; It is, generally speaking, good
and sufficient, and, Whatever calumny may as
