Стр. 115 - There is no exception to the rule that every organic being naturally increases at so high a rate, that, if not destroyed, the earth would soon be covered by the progeny of a single pair. Even slow-breeding man has doubled in twenty-five years, and at this rate, in less than a thousand years, there would literally not be standing room for his progeny.
Стр. 215 - He cannot be mistaken for any other, and his flaming vest and blue stockings show that he does not court concealment.
