They are generally forest, and sometimes forests where, after travelling several miles, you will scarce find a single tree; a mere waste and loss of country, in respect both of produce and population.
It positively rained decorations and hailed grand crosses and enough commanders' ribbons were reeled out to have hanged half the population.
Sometimes the population of a community remains stationary but the economic weakness expresses itself in a retarded social, ethical and religious life. There is high authority for the statement that the sifting of the country community in recent years has on the whole improved it.
'Gild the dome of the Invalides, was Napoleon's scornful prescription, when he heard the Parisian population were discontented. They gilded it, and the people forgot to talk about anything else.

Nevertheless, it is estimated that they number no less than 75,000 men, women, and children, out of a total population of 783,000, or about ten per cent.

It is, perhaps, because the men of culture in the United States are fewer in proportion to the population that American usage is a little more encouraging than the British.

She failed morally because the people understood her purpose and because the Flemish leaders proudly refused the German gifts. The reform of Ghent University was made in spite of them. It was made with the help of a few Germans, German-Dutch and Belgians without any reputation or following. They are obliged to wear a special cap and are under the ban of the whole population.
