"Actually, your concerto amazed me by the fewness of its pages, considering its importance... Naturally, there are limitations to the lengths of musical works, just as there are dimensions for canvasses. But within these human limitations, it is not the length of musical compositions that creates an impression of boredom, but it is rather the boredom that creates the impression of length."Niels, 7–8. The pianist Josef Hofmann, another friend to whom Rachmaninoff showed the score, also encouraged him.

A later commentator, the English Royalist Roger L'Estrange, sums up the situation thus: Yet another view was expressed by German theologian Martin Luther in his "On Governmental Authority" (1523). There he speaks of the fewness of good rulers, taking this lack as a punishment for human wickedness. He then alludes to this fable to illustrate how humanity deserves the rulers it gets: 'frogs must have their storks.' The author Christoff Mürer has a similar sentiment in his emblem book XL emblemata miscella nova (1620).

For many years, the improvement of the parish's facilities was hindered by its size; the fewness of its members meant that money was frequently scarce. Nevertheless, parishioners took significant steps in late 1906; their first temporary church was completed in September, and in this year they purchased a tract of land on the eastern side of the village. Construction of a permanent brick church soon began, and the finished church was dedicated on September 6, 1908 after costing $22,000. By 1914, membership had increased to eighty-five families from just thirty-five families in 1906.

He writes of Hobart and the Derwent estuary in his Voyage of the Beagle: Elizabeth Street in 1910. > ...The lower parts of the hills which skirt the bay are cleared; and the > bright yellow fields of corn, and dark green ones of potatoes, appear very > luxuriant... I was chiefly struck with the comparative fewness of the large > houses, either built or building. Hobart Town, from the census of 1835, > contained 13,826 inhabitants, and the whole of Tasmania 36,505. The River Derwent was one of Australia's finest deepwater ports and was the centre of the Southern Ocean whaling and sealing trades.

This is important because the governments and agencies can use implied threats of price controls, additional regulation or taxation to induce certain behaviours from companies. Such threats will only have credibility if companies think that these threats will be carried out if they do not comply. As fewness of economic agents to be persuaded is a necessary condition for moral suasion to be effective, this policy instrument is more adapted to countries with a higher concentration of suppliers, both in terms of number and of geography. Studies suggest that moral suasion is usually not effective in environmental matters in advanced economies.

Finally, in the 17th century, John Greaves, Professor of Astronomy at Oxford, published the first truly scientific work on the Pyramids, Pyramidographia (1646).For estimations of his work, see Gardiner 1961, 11; Greener 1967, 54-55. He cites many of the ancient authors mentioned above, and dismisses the erroneous etymologies yielding notions of "receptacles and granaries," and calls attention to the obvious fact "that this figure is most improper for such a purpose, a Pyramid being the least capacious of any regular mathematical body, the straitness and fewness of the rooms within (the rest of the building being one solid and intire fabric of stone) do utterly over-throw this conjecture."Miscellaneous Works (London, 1737), 1:3.

Australia's most prolific plant collector of the early nineteenth century, Cunningham had been sent to Australia to expand the collection at the King' Garden at Kew and he was given the title of "King's Collector for the Royal Garden at Kew". He was so successful that a hothouse built for specimens from Africa was renamed "Botany Bay House". Although his main role was to collect propagation material, his lasting legacy are his herbarium sheets which are thought by his biographer, Anthony Orchard, to exceed 20,000. It is often thought that Cunningham published few papers on botany and in his obituary, John Lindley wrote, "How little he regarded posthumous fame is seen by the fewness of his published works, a brief sketch of the Flora of New Zealand being the only systematic account of his Botanical discoveries...".
