Green and thick and sappy \nto the touch, they felt like summer, soft and elastic, as if full\nof life, mere rushes though they were. On the fingers they \nleft a green scent; rushes have a separate scent of green, so, \ntoo, have ferns, very different from that of grass or \nleaves. Rising from brown sheaths, the tall stems enlarged \na little in the middle, like classical columns, and heavy with \ntheir sap and freshness, leaned against the hawthorn \nsprays. From the earth they had drawn its moisture, and \nmade the ditch dry; some of the sweetness of the air had entered \ninto their fibres, and the rushesthe common \nrusheswere full of beautiful summer. The white \npollen of early grasses growing on the edge was dusted from them \neach time the hawthorn boughs were shaken by a thrush. \nThese lower sprays came down in among the grass, and leaves and \ngrass-blades touched. Smooth round stems of angelica, big \nas a gun-barrel, hollow and strong, stood on the slope of the \nmound, their tiers of well-balanced branches rising like those of\na tree. Such a sturdy growth pushed back the ranks of hedge\nparsley in full white flower, which blocked every avenue and \nwinding birds-path of the bank. But the \ngix, or wild parsnip, reached already high above \nboth, and would rear its fluted stalk, joint on joint, till it \ncould face a man. Trees they were to the lesser birds, not \neven bending if perched on; but though so stout, the birds did \nnot place their nests on or against them. Something in the \nodour of these umbelliferous plants, perhaps, is not quite liked;\nif brushed or bruised they give out a bitter greenish \nscent. Under their cover, well shaded and hidden, birds \nbuild, but not against or on the stems, though they will affix \ntheir nests to much less certain supports. With the grasses\nthat overhung the edge, with the rushes in the ditch itself, and \nthese great plants on the mound, the whole hedge was wrapped and \nthickened. No cunning of glance could see through it; it \nwould have needed a ladder to help any one look over.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 414 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Jefferies, Richard \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jefferies, Richard,1848-1887 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211126210717,"sku":"gb-414-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/414_84370c7d-2f8f-477d-9121-305581872c6f.jpg?v=1671248048"},{"product_id":"glaucus-or-the-wonders-of-the-shore-gb-695","title":"Glaucus Or, The Wonders of the Shore","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI cannot forego the pleasure of\ndedicating this little book to you; excepting of course the\nopening exhortation (needless enough in your case) to those who\nhave not yet discovered the value of Natural History.\nAccept it as a memorial of pleasant hours spent by us already,\nand as an earnest, I trust, of pleasant hours to be spent\nhereafter (perhaps, too, beyond this life in the nobler world to\ncome), in examining together the works of our Father in\nheaven.\n1.

I do not know whether his\n      descriptions of scenery are good or not, but they have made me familiar\n      with his neighborhood. Since I first read him, I have walked over some of\n      his favorite haunts, but I still see them through his eyes rather than by\n      any recollection of actual and personal vision. The book has also the\n      delightfulness of absolute leisure. Mr. White seems never to have had any\n      harder work to do than to study the habits of his feathered\n      fellow-townsfolk, or to watch the ripening of his peaches on the wall.

As I feel that the opportunities which I enjoyed\r\n      of studying the Natural History of the different countries we visited,\r\n      have been wholly due to Captain Fitz Roy, I hope I may here be permitted\r\n      to repeat my expression of gratitude to him; and to add that, during the\r\n      five years we were together, I received from him the most cordial\r\n      friendship and steady assistance. Both to Captain Fitz Roy and to all the\r\n      Officers of the Beagle 10 I shall ever feel most thankful\r\n      for the undeviating kindness with which I was treated during our long\r\n      voyage.\r\n    \n\r\n      This volume contains, in the form of a Journal, a history of our voyage,\r\n      and a sketch of those observations in Natural History and Geology, which I\r\n      think will possess some interest for the general reader. I have in this\r\n      edition largely condensed and corrected some parts, and have added a\r\n      little to others, in order to render the volume more fitted for popular\r\n      reading; but I trust that naturalists will remember, that they must refer\r\n      for details to the larger publications which comprise the scientific\r\n      results of the Expedition. The Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle\r\n      includes an account of the Fossil Mammalia, by Professor Owen; of the\r\n      Living Mammalia, by Mr. Waterhouse; of the Birds, by Mr. Gould; of the\r\n      Fish, by the Rev. L. Jenyns; and of the Reptiles, by Mr. Bell. I have\r\n      appended to the descriptions of each species an account of its habits and\r\n      range. These works, which I owe to the high talents and disinterested zeal\r\n      of the above distinguished authors, could not have been undertaken, had it\r\n      not been for the liberality of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's\r\n      Treasury, who, through the representation of the Right Honourable the\r\n      Chancellor of the Exchequer, have been pleased to grant a sum of one\r\n      thousand pounds towards defraying part of the expenses of publication.\r\n    \n\r\n      I have myself published separate volumes on the 'Structure and\r\n      Distribution of Coral Reefs;' on the 'Volcanic Islands visited during the\r\n      Voyage of the Beagle;' and on the 'Geology of South America.' The sixth\r\n      volume of the 'Geological Transactions' contains two papers of mine on the\r\n      Erratic Boulders and Volcanic Phenomena of South America. Messrs.\r\n      Waterhouse, Walker, Newman, and White, have published several able papers\r\n      on the Insects which were collected, and I trust that many others will\r\n      hereafter follow. The plants from the southern parts of America will be\r\n      given by Dr. J. Hooker, in his great work on the Botany of the Southern\r\n      Hemisphere. The Flora of the Galapagos Archipelago is the subject of a\r\n      separate memoir by him, in the 'Linnean Transactions.' The Reverend\r\n      Professor Henslow has published a list of the plants collected by me at\r\n      the Keeling Islands; and the Reverend J. M.

The living scene of our time is lit by the\n      light of the sun, and for every few rays that enter the human eye, and\n      convey the image of it to the human mind, great floods of the reflected\n      light pour out, swiftly and indefinitely, into space. Imagine, then, a man\n      moving out into space more rapidly than light, his face turned toward the\n      earth. Flashing through the void at, let us say, a million miles a second,\n      he would (if we can overlook the dispersion of the rays of light) overtake\n      in succession the light that fell on the French Revolution, the\n      Reformation, the Norman Conquest, and the faces of the ancient empires. He\n      would read, in reverse order, the living history of man and whatever lay\n      before the coming of man.\n    \n\n      Few thought, as they smiled over this fairy tale of science, that some\n      such panoramic survey of the story of the earth, and even of the heavens,\n      might one day be made in a leisure hour by ordinary mortals; that in the\n      soil on which they trod were surer records of the past than in its\n      doubtful literary remains, and in the deeper rocks were records that dimly\n      lit a vast abyss of time of which they never dreamed. It is the supreme\n      achievement of modern science to have discovered and deciphered these\n      records. The picture of the past which they afford is, on the whole, an\n      outline sketch. Here and there the details, the colour, the light and\n      shade, may be added; but the greater part of the canvas is left to the\n      more skilful hand of a future generation, and even the broad lines are at\n      times uncertain. Yet each age would know how far its scientific men have\n      advanced in constructing that picture of the growth of the heavens and the\n      earth, and the aim of the present volume is to give, in clear and plain\n      language, as full an account of the story as the present condition of our\n      knowledge and the limits of the volume will allow. The author has been for\n      many years interested in the evolution of things, or the way in which suns\n      and atoms, fishes and flowers, hills and elephants, even man and his\n      institutions, came to be what they are. Lecturing and writing on one or\n      other phase of the subject have, moreover, taught him a language which the\n      inexpert seem to understand, although he is not content merely to give a\n      superficial description of the past inhabitants of the earth.\n    \n\n      The particular features which, it is hoped, may give the book a\n      distinctive place in the large literature of evolution are, first, that it\n      includes the many evolutionary discoveries of the last few years, gathers\n      its material from the score of sciences which confine themselves to\n      separate aspects of the universe, and blends all these facts and\n      discoveries in a more or less continuous chronicle of the life of the\n      heavens and the earth. Then the author has endeavoured to show, not merely\n      how, but why, scene succeeds scene in the chronicle of the earth, and life\n      slowly climbs from level to level. He has taken nature in the past as we\n      find it to-day: an interconnected whole, in which the changes of land and\n      sea, of heat and cold, of swamp and hill, are faithfully reflected in the\n      forms of its living population. And, finally, he has written for those who\n      are not students of science, or whose knowledge may be confined to one\n      branch of science, and used a plain speech which assumes no previous\n      knowledge on the reader's part.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1043 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: McCabe, Joseph \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Sep 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"McCabe, Joseph,1867-1955 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212099518621,"sku":"gb-1043-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/1043_69ed5c5a-dde5-4b87-8756-b83985ccb24e.jpg?v=1671249989"},{"product_id":"the-expression-of-the-emotions-in-man-and-animals-gb-1227","title":"The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nMany works have been written on Expression, but a greater number on\r\nPhysiognomy,that is, on the recognition of character through the\r\nstudy of the permanent form of the features. With this latter subject I am\r\nnot here concerned. The older treatises,[1] which I have consulted,\r\nhave been of little or no service to me. The famous Confrences[2] of the\r\npainter Le Brun, published in 1667, is the best known ancient work, and\r\ncontains some good remarks. Another somewhat old essay, namely, the\r\nDiscours, delivered 1774-1782, by the well-known Dutch anatomist Camper,[3] can\r\nhardly be considered as having made any marked advance in the subject. The\r\nfollowing works, on the contrary, deserve the fullest consideration.\r\n\n\r\nSir Charles Bell, so illustrious for his discoveries in physiology,\r\npublished in 1806 the first edition, and in the third edition of his\r\nAnatomy and Philosophy of Expression.[4] He may with justice be\r\nsaid, not only to have laid the foundations of the subject as a branch of\r\nscience, but to have built up a noble structure. His work is in every way\r\ndeeply interesting; it includes graphic descriptions of the various\r\nemotions, and is admirably illustrated. It is generally admitted that his\r\nservice consists chiefly in having shown the intimate relation which\r\nexists between the movements of expression and those of respiration. One\r\nof the most important points, small as it may at first appear, is that the\r\nmuscles round the eyes are involuntarily contracted during violent\r\nexpiratory efforts, in order to protect these delicate organs from the\r\npressure of the blood. This fact, which has been fully investigated for me\r\nwith the greatest kindness by Professors Donders of Utrecht, throws, as we\r\nshall hereafter see, a flood of light on several of the most important\r\nexpressions of the human countenance. The merits of Sir C. Bells work\r\nhave been undervalued or quite ignored by several foreign writers, but\r\nhave been fully admitted by some, for instance by M. Lemoine,[5] who\r\nwith great justice says:Le livre de Ch.

It is given gladly in answer to the call for more from\n      those who have read the previous volumes, and whose letters are full of\n      the spirit of kindness and appreciation.\n    \n\n      Many questions have come of late with these same letters; chief of which\n      is this: How shall one discover such things for himself? how shall we,\n      too, read the secrets of the Wood Folk? There is no space here to answer,\n      to describe the long training, even if one could explain perfectly what is\n      more or less unconscious. I would only suggest that perhaps the real\n      reason why we see so little in the woods is the way we go through themtalking,\n      laughing, rustling, smashing twigs, disturbing the peace of the solitudes\n      by what must seem strange and uncouth noises to the little wild creatures.\n      They, on the other hand, slip with noiseless feet through their native\n      coverts, shy, silent, listening, more concerned to hear than to be heard,\n      loving the silence, hating noise and fearing it, as they fear and hate\n      their natural enemies.\n    \n\n      We would not feel comfortable if a big barbarian came into our quiet home,\n      broke the door down, whacked his war-club on the furniture, and whooped\n      his battle yell. We could hardly be natural under the circumstances. Our\n      true dispositions would hide themselves. We might even vacate the house\n      bodily. Just so Wood Folk. Only as you copy their ways can you expect to\n      share their life and their secrets. And it is astonishing how little the\n      shyest of them fears you, if you but keep silence and avoid all\n      excitement, even of feeling; for they understand your feeling quite as\n      much as your action.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1901 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Long, William J.

But his life was so\n      essentially one of work, that a history of the man could not be written\n      without following closely the career of the author. Thus it comes about\n      that the chief part of the book falls into chapters whose titles\n      correspond to the names of his books.\n    \n\n      In arranging the letters I have adhered as far as possible to\n      chronological sequence, but the character and variety of his researches\n      make a strictly chronological order an impossibility. It was his habit to\n      work more or less simultaneously at several subjects. Experimental work\n      was often carried on as a refreshment or variety, while books entailing\n      reasoning and the marshalling of large bodies of facts were being written.\n      Moreover, many of his researches were allowed to drop, and only resumed\n      after an interval of years. Thus a rigidly chronological series of letters\n      would present a patchwork of subjects, each of which would be difficult to\n      follow. The Table of Contents will show in what way I have attempted to\n      avoid this result.\n    \n\n      In printing the letters I have followed (except in a few cases) the usual\n      plan of indicating the existence of omissions or insertions. My father's\n      letters give frequent evidence of having been written when he was tired or\n      hurried, and they bear the marks of this circumstance. In writing to a\n      friend, or to one of his family, he frequently omitted the articles: these\n      have been inserted without the usual indications, except in a few\n      instances, where it is of special interest to preserve intact the hurried\n      character of the letter. Other small words, such as \"of\", \"to\", etc., have\n      been inserted usually within brackets. I have not followed the originals\n      as regards the spelling of names, the use of capitals, or in the matter of\n      punctuation. My father underlined many words in his letters; these have\n      not always been given in italics,a rendering which would unfairly\n      exaggerate their effect.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2087 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Darwin, Charles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 1, 2000 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Darwin, Francis, Sir, 1848-1925 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Darwin, Charles,1809-1882 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212228624541,"sku":"gb-2087-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2087_8df17f7a-0700-4101-a506-a18722a4b6b7.jpg?v=1671252432"},{"product_id":"life-and-letters-of-charles-darwin-volume-2-gb-2088","title":"Life and Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLife and Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n      led to comprehend true affinities.

Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nThe nature of the following work will be best understood by a brief account of\r\nhow it came to be written. During many years I collected notes on the origin or\r\ndescent of man, without any intention of publishing on the subject, but rather\r\nwith the determination not to publish, as I thought that I should thus only add\r\nto the prejudices against my views. It seemed to me sufficient to indicate, in\r\nthe first edition of my Origin of Species, that by this work\r\nlight would be thrown on the origin of man and his history; and\r\nthis implies that man must be included with other organic beings in any general\r\nconclusion respecting his manner of appearance on this earth. Now the case\r\nwears a wholly different aspect. When a naturalist like Carl Vogt ventures to\r\nsay in his address as President of the National Institution of Geneva (1869),\r\npersonne, en Europe au moins, nose plus soutenir la creation\r\nindpendante et de toutes pices, des espces, it is manifest that at\r\nleast a large number of naturalists must admit that species are the modified\r\ndescendants of other species; and this especially holds good with the younger\r\nand rising naturalists. The greater number accept the agency of natural\r\nselection; though some urge, whether with justice the future must decide, that\r\nI have greatly overrated its importance. Of the older and honoured chiefs in\r\nnatural science, many unfortunately are still opposed to evolution in every\r\nform.\r\n\n\r\nIn consequence of the views now adopted by most naturalists, and which will\r\nultimately, as in every other case, be followed by others who are not\r\nscientific, I have been led to put together my notes, so as to see how far the\r\ngeneral conclusions arrived at in my former works were applicable to man. This\r\nseemed all the more desirable, as I had never deliberately applied these views\r\nto a species taken singly. When we confine our attention to any one form, we\r\nare deprived of the weighty arguments derived from the nature of the affinities\r\nwhich connect together whole groups of organismstheir geographical\r\ndistribution in past and present times, and their geological succession. The\r\nhomological structure, embryological development, and rudimentary organs of a\r\nspecies remain to be considered, whether it be man or any other animal, to\r\nwhich our attention may be directed; but these great classes of facts afford,\r\nas it appears to me, ample and conclusive evidence in favour of the principle\r\nof gradual evolution. The strong support derived from the other arguments\r\nshould, however, always be kept before the mind.\r\n\n\r\nThe sole object of this work is to consider, firstly, whether man, like every\r\nother species, is descended from some pre-existing form; secondly, the manner\r\nof his development; and thirdly, the value of the differences between the\r\nso-called races of man. As I shall confine myself to these points, it will not\r\nbe necessary to describe in detail the differences between the several\r\nracesan enormous subject which has been fully described in many valuable\r\nworks. The high antiquity of man has recently been demonstrated by the labours\r\nof a host of eminent men, beginning with M. Boucher de Perthes; and this is the\r\nindispensable basis for understanding his origin. I shall, therefore, take this\r\nconclusion for granted, and may refer my readers to the admirable treatises of\r\nSir Charles Lyell, Sir John Lubbock, and others. Nor shall I have occasion to\r\ndo more than to allude to the amount of difference between man and the\r\nanthropomorphous apes; for Prof. Huxley, in the opinion of most competent\r\njudges, has conclusively shewn that in every visible character man differs less\r\nfrom the higher apes, than these do from the lower members of the same order of\r\nPrimates.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2300 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Darwin, Charles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 1, 2000 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Darwin, Charles,1809-1882 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212245860509,"sku":"gb-2300-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2300_abe51f6c-7156-4f4a-906c-7d781b6f75b3.jpg?v=1671252931"},{"product_id":"note-on-the-resemblances-and-differences-in-the-structure-and-the-development-of-the-brain-in-man-and-apes-gb-2354","title":"Note on the Resemblances and Differences in the Structure and the Development of the Brain in Man and Apes","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote on the Resemblances and Differences in the Structure and the Development of the Brain in Man and Apes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n[This essay is taken from 'The Descent of Man and Selection in relation\r\nto Sex' by Charles Darwin where it appears at the end of Chapter VII\r\nwhich is also the end of Part I.  Footnotes are numbered as they appear\r\nin 'The Descent of Man.']\r\n\n\r\nThe controversy respecting the nature and the extent of the differences\r\nin the structure of the brain in man and the apes, which arose some\r\nfifteen years ago, has not yet come to an end, though the subject\r\nmatter of the dispute is, at present, totally different from what it\r\nwas formerly.  It was originally asserted and re-asserted, with\r\nsingular pertinacity, that the brain of all the apes, even the highest,\r\ndiffers from that of man, in the absence of such conspicuous structures\r\nas the posterior lobes of the cerebral hemispheres, with the posterior\r\ncornu of the lateral ventricle and the hippocampus minor, contained in\r\nthose lobes, which are so obvious in man.\r\n\n\r\nBut the truth that the three structures in question are as well\r\ndeveloped in apes' as in human brains, or even better; and that it is\r\ncharacteristic of all the Primates (if we exclude the Lemurs) to have\r\nthese parts well developed, stands at present on as secure a basis as\r\nany proposition in comparative anatomy. Moreover, it is admitted by\r\nevery one of the long series of anatomists who, of late years, have\r\npaid special attention to the arrangement of the complicated sulci and\r\ngyri which appear upon the surface of the cerebral hemispheres in man\r\nand the higher apes, that they are disposed after the very same pattern\r\nin him, as in them.  Every principal gyrus and sulcus of a chimpanzee's\r\nbrain is clearly represented in that of a man, so that the terminology\r\nwhich applies to the one answers for the other.  On this point there is\r\nno difference of opinion.  Some years since, Professor Bischoff\r\npublished a memoir (70.  'Die Grosshirn-Windungen des Menschen;'\r\n'Abhandlungen der K.

The uniform fineness of\r\nthe particles of which it is composed is one of its chief\r\ncharacteristic features; and this may be well observed in any\r\ngravelly country, where a recently-ploughed field immediately\r\nadjoins one which has long remained undisturbed for pasture, and\r\nwhere the vegetable mould is exposed on the sides of a ditch or\r\nhole. The subject may appear an insignificant one, but we\r\nshall see that it possesses some interest; and the maxim\r\nde minimis non curat lex, does not apply to\r\nscience. Even lie de Beaumont, who generally\r\nundervalues small agencies and their accumulated effects,\r\nremarks: [2] La couche trs-mince de la\r\nterre vgtale est un monument dune haute\r\nantiquit, et, par le fait de sa permanence, un objet\r\ndigne doccuper le gologue, et capable de lui\r\nfournir des remarques intressantes. Although\r\nthe superficial layer of vegetable mould as a whole no doubt is\r\nof the highest antiquity, yet in regard to its permanence, we\r\nshall hereafter see reason to believe that its component\r\nparticles are in most cases removed at not a very slow rate, and\r\nare replaced by others due to the disintegration of the\r\nunderlying materials.\nAs I was led to keep in my study during many months worms in\r\npots filled with earth, I became interested in them, and wished\r\nto learn how far they acted consciously, and how much mental\r\npower they displayed. I was the more desirous to learn\r\nsomething on this head, as few observations of this kind have\r\nbeen made, as far as I know, on animals so low in the scale of\r\norganization and so poorly provided with sense-organs, as are\r\nearth-worms.\nIn the year 1837, a short paper was read by me before the\r\nGeological Society of London, [3] On the\r\nFormation of Mould, in which it was shown that small\r\nfragments of burnt marl, cinders, \u0026amp;c., which had been thickly\r\nstrewed over the surface of several meadows, were found after a\r\nfew years lying at the depth of some inches beneath the turf, but\r\nstill forming a layer. This apparent sinking of superficial\r\nbodies is due, as was first suggested to me by Mr. Wedgwood of\r\nMaer Hall in Staffordshire, to the large quantity of fine earth\r\ncontinually brought up to the surface by worms in the form of\r\ncastings. These castings are sooner or later spread out and\r\ncover up any object left on the surface. I was thus led to\r\nconclude that all the vegetable mould over the whole country has\r\npassed many times through, and will again pass many times\r\nthrough, the intestinal canals of worms. Hence the term\r\nanimal mould would be in some respects more\r\nappropriate than that commonly used of vegetable\r\nmould.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2355 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Darwin, Charles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 1, 2000 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Darwin, Charles,1809-1882 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212249071773,"sku":"gb-2355-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2355_838f53c3-8e1f-4cba-a1ae-f58574894d53.jpg?v=1671253080"},{"product_id":"the-naturalist-on-the-river-amazons-gb-2440","title":"The Naturalist on the River Amazons","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Naturalist on the River Amazons\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving been urged to prepare a new edition of this\r\nwork for a wider circle than that contemplated in the former one, I\r\nhave thought it advisable to condense those portions which,\r\ntreating of abstruse scientific questions, presuppose a larger\r\namount of Natural History knowledge than an author has a right to\r\nexpect of the general reader. The personal narrative has been left\r\nentire, together with those descriptive details likely to interest\r\nall classes, young and old, relating to the great river itself, and\r\nthe wonderful country through which it flows,the luxuriant\r\nprimaeval forests that clothe almost every part of it, the climate,\r\nproductions, and inhabitants.\r\n\n\r\nSigns are not wanting that this fertile, but scantily peopled\r\nregion will soon become, through recent efforts of the Peruvian and\r\nBrazilian governments to make it accessible and colonise it, of far\r\nhigher importance to the nations of Northern Europe than it has\r\nbeen hitherto. The full significance of the title, the\r\nlargest river in the world, which we are all taught\r\nin our schoolboy days to apply to the Amazons, without having a\r\ndistinct idea of its magnitude, will then become apparent to the\r\nEnglish public. It will be new to most people, that this noble\r\nstream has recently been navigated by steamers to a distance of\r\n2200 geographical miles from its mouth at Par, or double\r\nthe distance which vessels are able to reach on the Yang-tze-Kiang,\r\nthe largest river of the old world; the depth of water in the dry\r\nseason being about seven fathoms up to this terminus of navigation.\r\nIt is not, however, the length of the trunk stream, that has earned\r\nfor the Amazons the appellation of the Mediterranean of\r\nSouth America, given it by the Brazilians of Par;\r\nbut the network of by-channels and lakes, which everywhere\r\naccompanies its course at a distance from the banks, and which adds\r\nmany thousands of miles of easy inland navigation to the total\r\npresented by the main river and its tributaries. The Peruvians,\r\nespecially, if I may judge from letters received within the past\r\nfew weeks, seem to be stirring themselves to grasp the advantages\r\nwhich the possession of the upper course of the river places within\r\ntheir reach. Vessels of heavy tonnage have arrived in Par,\r\nfrom England, with materials for the formation of shipbuilding\r\nestablishments, at a point situated two thousand miles from the\r\nmouth of the river. Peruvian steamers have navigated from the Andes\r\nto the Atlantic, and a quantity of cotton (now exported for the\r\nfirst time), the product of the rich and healthy country bordering\r\nthe Upper Amazons, has been conveyed by this means, and shipped\r\nfrom Par to Europe. The probability of general curiosity in\r\nEngland being excited before long with regard to this hitherto\r\nneglected country, will be considered, of itself, a sufficient\r\nreason for placing an account of its natural features and present\r\ncondition within reach of all readers.\r\n\nLONDON, January, 1864.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2440 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bates, Henry Walter \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 1, 2000 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Bates, Henry Walter,1825-1892 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212255494301,"sku":"gb-2440-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2440_5e2e1f1f-29d7-4744-9412-4a4c387a1ee9.jpg?v=1671253297"},{"product_id":"more-letters-of-charles-darwin-volume-1-gb-2739","title":"More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMore Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1\r - A Record of His Work in a Series of Hitherto Unpublished Letters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      The \"Life and Letters of Charles Darwin\" was published in 1887. Since that\n      date, through the kindness of various correspondents, additional letters\n      have been received; among them may be mentioned those written by Mr.\n      Darwin to Mr. Belt, Lady Derby, Hugh Falconer, Mr. Francis Galton, Huxley,\n      Lyell, Mr. John Morley, Max Muller, Owen, Lord Playfair, John Scott,\n      Thwaites, Sir William Turner, John Jenner Weir. But the material for our\n      work consisted in chief part of a mass of letters which, for want of space\n      or for other reasons, were not printed in the \"Life and Letters.\" We would\n      draw particular attention to the correspondence with Sir Joseph Hooker. To\n      him Mr. Darwin wrote with complete freedom, and this has given something\n      of a personal charm to the most technical of his letters. There is also\n      much correspondence, hardly inferior in biographical interest, with Sir\n      Charles Lyell, Fritz Muller, Mr. Huxley, and Mr. Wallace. From this unused\n      material we have been able to compile an almost complete record of Mr.\n      Darwin's work in a series of letters now published for the first time. We\n      have, however, in a few instances, repeated paragraphs, or in one or two\n      cases whole letters, from the \"Life and Letters,\" where such repetition\n      seemed necessary for the sake of clearness or continuity.\n    \n\n      Our two volumes contain practically all the matter that it now seems\n      desirable to publish. But at some future time others may find interesting\n      data in what remains unprinted; this is certainly true of a short series\n      of letters dealing with the Cirripedes, which are omitted solely for want\n      of space. (Preface\/1. Those addressed to the late Albany Hancock have\n      already appeared in the \"Transactions of the Tyneside Nat. Field Club,\"\n      VIII., page 250.)\n    \n\n      We are fortunate in being permitted, by Sir Joseph Hooker and by Mr.\n      Wallace, to publish certain letters from them to Mr. Darwin. We have also\n      been able to give a few letters from Sir Charles Lyell, Hugh Falconer,\n      Edward Forbes, Dr. Asa Gray, Professor Hyatt, Fritz Muller, Mr. Francis\n      Galton, and Sir T.

I grieve to bother you on such a subject. I am sick and\n      tired of this carte correspondence. I cannot conceive what Humboldt's\n      Pyrenean violet is: no such is mentioned in Webb, and no alpine one at\n      all. I am sorry I forgot to mention the stronger African affinity of the\n      eastern Canary Islands. Thank you for mentioning it. I cannot admit,\n      without further analysis, that most of the peculiar Atlantic Islands\n      genera were derived from Europe, and have since become extinct there. I\n      have rather thought that many are only altered forms of existing European\n      genera; but this is a very difficult point, and would require a careful\n      study of such genera and allies with this object in view. The subject has\n      often presented itself to me as a grand one for analytic botany. No doubt\n      its establishment would account for the community of the peculiar genera\n      on the several groups and islets, but whilst so many species are common we\n      must allow for a good deal of migration of peculiar genera too.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2740 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Darwin, Charles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 1, 2001 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Darwin, Francis, Sir, 1848-1925 , Seward, A.

His\n      researches in biology, his contributions to scientific controversy, his\n      pungent criticisms of conventional beliefs and thoughts have probably had\n      greater influence than the work of any other English scientist. And yet he\n      was a \"self-made\" intellectualist. In spite of the fact that his father\n      was a schoolmaster he passed through no regular course of education. \"I\n      had,\" he said, \"two years of a pandemonium of a school (between eight and\n      ten) and after that neither help nor sympathy in any intellectual\n      direction till I reached manhood.\" When he was twelve a craving for\n      reading found satisfaction in Hutton's \"Geology,\" and when fifteen in\n      Hamilton's \"Logic.\"\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2921 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Huxley, Thomas Henry \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 1, 2001 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Huxley, Thomas Henry,1825-1895 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212290588829,"sku":"gb-2921-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2921_9e71ea40-d77c-406a-bb6e-d7719033d86a.jpg?v=1671254557"},{"product_id":"the-past-condition-of-organic-nature-gb-2922","title":"The Past Condition of Organic Nature","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Past Condition of Organic Nature\r - Lecture II.

The general result of\n      our investigations might be summed up thus: we found that the multiplicity\n      of the forms of animal life, great as that may be, may be reduced to a\n      comparatively few primitive plans or types of construction; that a further\n      study of the development of those different forms revealed to us that they\n      were again reducible, until we at last brought the infinite diversity of\n      animal, and even vegetable life, down to the primordial form of a single\n      cell.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2922 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Huxley, Thomas Henry \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 1, 2001 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Huxley, Thomas Henry,1825-1895 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212290654365,"sku":"gb-2922-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2922_47306baf-ed38-454a-9667-7c669e576584.jpg?v=1671254559"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/collections\/science-natural-history.oembed?page=2","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
