You are aware that the period from $40 to 1859
marks an epoch Unprecedented IN thu economical
development # Germany. During that time t has,

$1,000 manufacturing laborers, male ADD female,
while at this moment their aggregate number has
eApsnd.d to IsO. 600. Take one single branch OF
industry: Before I545. the export of wool to
England, France and other countries brmed
