Human Physiology. 



The rightful possession or use of land is the first condition 

 of a true society, and no such society can exist until this first 

 right is obtained. It is the condition of food, light, air, a, 

 healthy industry, security, home, family, friendship, recreation, 

 every enjoyment of life. For all these there must be the basis 

 of land land for agriculture, gardens, dwellings, and all the 

 needs of a comfortable and prosperous social condition. In 

 unpeopled countries land can be found in abundance millions 

 of acres of the most fertile and beautiful lands are lying waste 

 in Canada, the United States, Mexico, South America, Africa,

 time is at hand when the whole body of the industrial classes 

 in England, those whose labour cieates all riches, whose brains 

 and hands make the value of land, mines, and all the wealth of 

 commerce and industry, will unite in far more formidable com- 

 binations than we have yet seen, with education, a powerful 

 press, extended suffrage, the ballot, equalised parliamentary 

 representation the whole machinery of industrial and political 

 organisation, to demand a larger share of the common wealth 

 an equitable division of the products of the earth, and the 

 genius and industry of man. 



If the men who own and govern England are wise they will 

 examine all this question of the rights of man, and the true 

 order of society, and do what they see to be just, and feel to
