This method of reasoning, which some people appear to find so irritating in the economic sphere, and as they say so "theoretical" and "unreal," is one which they adopt readily enough in every other department of life.

This is not a purely theoretical proposition; after an agitation lasting nearly half a century, Holland has this year put such a law in force.

To answer such objections Mr. Aimé Witz has established a complete parallel between the two systems, in which he looks at the question from a theoretical and practical and scientific and financial point of view.

From a theoretical point of view the advantage therefore rests with the gas generator and gas motor.

This point, 461 degrees below zero, is the theoretical point at which a volume of air is reduced to nothing.
