On On this occasion or on others The provision here proposed to be made — compare
it with the provision actually made in relation to the same
subjects in under differen in different countries under different
governments the comparison will be instructive not be without its use This example begins with the case of
England

Art. 17 or 1. A work of
prime necessity is the
apt registration of
these facts to be taken
in aggregate.
(☞ See the purposes.)

1. Deaths. 2. Marriages 3. Births taken in the aggregate
With a view to the three first mentioned of the above
mentioned purposes the documents in question would be an
by which among the subject from the station pointed point of view indicated and by
appear a work of prime necessity the provision of them, and upon the most instructive plan: a work not capable
of being treated with neglect in any country that had for
in ever so small a degree risen emerged from the level of barbarism

In England this work trust remains as yet unperformed. Why
so? How so? Only because in this as in so many other
spots in the field of legislation say rather the whole of it
what is called religion has exercised and with such
disastrous success how its baleful influence.

question of relating to certain facts stated as having happened had place 1800 ago, when
means of great publicity were unknown: no printing press in use much less newspapers.
