˹éÒ 43 - We thus learn that man is descended from a hairy quadruped furnished with a tail and pointed ears, probably arboreal in its habits, and an inhabitant of the Old World.
˹éÒ 23 - ... deluge of the great subsidence which closed the residence of paleocosmic men in Europe, as well as that of several of the large mammalia. Lenormant and others have shown that the wide and ancient acceptance of the tradition of the deluge among...
˹éÒ 43 - This creature, if its whole structure had been examined by a naturalist, would have been classed amongst the Quadrumana, as surely as the still more ancient progenitor of the Old and New World monkeys. The Quadrumana and all the higher mammals are probably derived from an ancient marsupial animal, and this through a long line of diversified forms, from some amphibian-like creature, and this again from some fish-like animal.
˹éÒ 23 - ... than the Abbeville peat, and the age of this peat he estimates as perhaps less than four thousand years. Within this period Dr. Dawson includes a comparatively rapid subsidence of the land, with a partial re-elevation, which left large areas of the lower grounds beneath the sea. This he describes as the geological deluge which separates the post-glacial period from the modern, and the earlier from the later prehistoric period of the archaeologists.
˹éÒ 42 - ... afforded every variety of station and all that is beautiful in scenery. It was not infested with the more powerful and predacious quadrupeds, and its geographical relations were such as to render this exemption permanent. In this paradise man found ample supplies of wholesome and nutritious food. His requirements as to shelter were met by the leafy bowers he could weave. The streams of Eden afforded gold which he could fashion for use and ornament, pearly shells for vessels, and agate for his...
˹éÒ 28 - The dog is the first element in human progress. Without the dog man would have been condemned to vegetate eternally in the swaddling clothes of savagery. It was the dog which effected the passage of human society from the savage to the patriarchal state, in making possible the guardianship of the flock. Without the dog there could be no flocks and herds ; without the flock there is no assured livelihood, no leg of mutton, no roast beef, no wool, no blanket, no time to spare ; and, consequently, no...
˹éÒ 22 - ... Post-glacial animals, which must have lived during the condition of our continents above referred to. If these inferences are well founded, not only did man exist at this time, but man not even varietally distinct from modern European races. But if man, really appeared in Europe in the Post-glacial era, he was destined to be exposed to one great natural vicissitude before his permanent establishment in the world. The land had reached its maximum elevation, but its foundations, " standing in the...
˹éÒ 30 - ... having become covered by the newly-formed bony tissue. " The discs of bone which were separated from the skull during the operation were looked upon as talismans possessing vast therapeutical power, and capable of counteracting witchcraft, and of preserving the possessor of them from disease. These talismans were therefore worn round the neck as amulets, and were considered as of priceless value.
˹éÒ 23 - ... the tradition of the Deluge among" " all the great branches of the human family, necessitates " " the belief that, independently of the Biblical history, this " " great event must be accepted as an historical fact, which " "very deeply impressed itself upon the minds of all the" " early nations. Now if the Deluge is to be accepted as" " historical, and if a similar break interrupts the geological " " history of man, separating extinct races from those which " "still survive, why may we not correlate...

Without the dog there could be no flocks and herds ; without the dog there is no assured livelihood, no leg of mutton, no roast beef, no wool, no blankets, no time to spare, and consequently, no astronomical observations, no science, no industry. It is to the dog that man owes his hours of leisure.
