THE FORERUNNERS—FICHTE AND MARLO. 13 encourage immorality, without arresting the increase of the inhabitants. The only way to attain this object is to aim at making education and property the inheritance of all. The man who enjoys a little comfort, and has received some educa tion, at once becomes provident He does not wish, by a premature marriage, to devote both himself and his family to certain misery. It is in France that population increases most slowly—so slowly, in fact, that some are alarmed at it ; and it is in France that land is divided among so large a number of persons, that those who do not possess any form the minority. Enlightened families in easy circumstances have so few children that they are in danger of extinction. In Ireland, on the con trary, the peasants plunged in misery and ignorance swarm with children. The more a man leads an intellectual life, the less powerful does the animal nature become in him. The majority of great men have left no posterity. The progress of enlighten ment and comfort is therefore the best antidote against a too great increase of population, and, by a kind of social harmony, the advance of civilization dispels the principal danger that threatens its future.
