Seite 85 - All systems, either of preference or of restraint, therefore, being thus completely taken away, the obvious and simple system of natural liberty establishes itself of its own...
Seite 110 - the study of agencies under social control that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations, either physically or mentally.
Seite 283 - And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee ; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
