Pàgina 304 - In the cottage of the rudest peasant, In ancestral homes, whose crumbling towers, Speaking of the Past unto...
Pàgina 142 - ... beings, as well as the terraqueous theatre of their being, is a fact so powerfully evidenced, and so universally received, that I at once take it for granted. But in the particulars of this so highly supported idea, we surely here see cause for some re-consideration.
Pàgina 230 - Lowland or Highland, far or near, Lord Angus, thou hast lied ! " — On the Earl's cheek the flush of rage O'ercame the ashen hue of age : Fierce he broke forth :
Pàgina 111 - We have seen that it is a form of being which electric agency will produce - though not perhaps usher into full life - in albumen, one of those compound elements of animal bodies, of which another (urea) has been made by artificial means. Remembering these things, we are drawn on to the supposition, that the first step in the creation of life upon this planet was a chemico-electric operation, by which simple germinal vesicles were produced.
Pàgina 230 - Around were lodging, fit and fair, And towers of various form Which on the court projected far, And broke its lines quadrangular. Here was square keep, there turret high, Or pinnacle that sought the sky, Whence oft the Warder could descry The gathering ocean-storm.
Pàgina 112 - ... the simplest and most primitive type, under a law to which that of likeproduction is subordinate, gave birth to the type next above it, that this again produced the next higher, and so on to the very highest, the stages of advance being in all cases very small—namely, from one ^species only to another ; so that the phenomenon has always been of a simple and modest character.
Pàgina 142 - But how does this notion comport with what we have seen of the gradual advance of species, from the humblest to the highest? How can we suppose an immediate exertion of this creative power at one time to produce zoophytes, another time to add a few marine mollusks, another to bring in one or two conchifers, again to produce crustaceous fishes, again perfect fishes, and so on to the end...
Pàgina 112 - I suggest, then, as an hypothesis already countenanced by much that is ascertained, and likely to be further sanctioned by much that remains to be known, that the first step was an advance under favour of peculiar conditions, from the simplest forms of being, to the next more complicated, and this through the medium of the ordinary process of generation.
Pàgina 112 - ... different species, was sown. Now it will not satisfy a strict inquirer to be told that the seeds of the rye were latent in the ground and only superseded the dead product of the oats; for if any such fact were in the case, why should the usurping grain be always rye? Perhaps those curious facts which have been stated with regard to forests of one kind of trees, when burnt down, being succeeded (without planting) by other kinds, may yet be found most explicable, as this is, upon the hypothesis...
Pàgina 111 - ... have already seen that this nucleated vesicle is itself a type of mature and independent being in the infusory animalcules, as well as the starting point of the foetal progress of every higher individual in creation, both animal and vegetable.
