Excerpt from On the Diminishing Birth-Rate: Presidential Address Delivered Before the British Gynæcological Society, February 11, 1904 IN one of. The chapters of Mr. Ruskin's well-known book on Political Economy, Unto This Last, he deals with an inquiry into what he calls the veins of wealth. He exposes the fallacy that the wealth of a State lies solely or essentially in material possessions - showing that apparent or nominal wealth which fails in its authority over men, fails in essence and ceases to be wealth at all - that the true veins of wealth are, as he says, purple - not in rock but in ¿esh, and the final outcome and consummation of all wealth is in the producing as many as possible full-breathed, bright-eyed, and happy-hearted human creatures.
