which distinguishes Europeans,and gives them

country are capable of a greater bodily exertion than
the Birmans. £>aé nachbrficflidbe 21rb«tten ber 33irmai)3

With a diminutive axe, in a feeble and slow manner,
and when he wants to turn a piece of timber,
p has recourse to a coolu or labourer, that offends him.
Numbers there compensate for the want of individual
energy etc.
