Sivu 61 - We thus learn that man is descended from a hairy quadruped, furnished with a tail and pointed ears, probably arboreal in its habits, and an inhabitant of the Old World.
Sivu 168 - Constitution and Government. According to the charter of 1831, Belgium is ' a constitutional, representative, and hereditary monarchy.' The legislative power is vested in the King, the Chamber of Representatives, and the Senate. The royal succession is in the direct -male line in the order of primogeniture. The king's person is declared sacred ; and his ministers are held responsible for the acts of the Government.
Sivu 62 - Crown colonies, in which the Crown has the entire control of legislation, while the administration is carried on by public officers under the control of the Home Government.
