Page 655 - Guinea-pig, the pinching of whose carefully sensitized neck throws him into convulsions, attains this blessed momentary respite of insensibility by an unexplained special machinery of the nervous currents, or a sensibility too exquisitely acute for animal endurance?
Page 269 - Strip it naked, and you stand face to face with the notion that not alone the more ignoble forms of animalcular or animal life, not alone the nobler forms of the horse and lion, not alone the exquisite and wonderful mechanism of the human body, but that the human mind itself — emotion, intellect, will, and all their phenomena — were once latent in a fiery cloud.
Page 82 - For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do you more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Page 14 - Borneo closely resembles New Guinea not only in its vast size and its freedom from volcanoes, but in its variety of geological structure, its uniformity of climate, and the general aspect of the forest vegetation that clothes its surface. The Moluccas are the counterpart of the Philippines in their volcanic structure, their extreme fertility, their luxuriant forests, and their frequent earthquakes; and Bali with the east end of Java has a climate almost as dry and a soil almost as arid as that of...
Page 13 - ... into fragments so unlike one another, and yet each in its interior so monotonous ? The question is most puzzling, though the fact is so familiar, and I would not venture to say that I can answer it completely, though I can advance some considerations which, as it seems to me, go a certain way towards answering it. Perhaps these same considerations throw some light, too, on the further and still more interesting question why some few nations progress, and why the greater part do not. Of course...
Page 113 - This mutual perfecting of pursuer and pursued, acting upon their entire organizations, has been going on throughout all time ; and human beings have been subject to it just as much as other beings. Warfare among men, like warfare among animals, has had a large share in raising their organizations to a higher stage.
Page 15 - Guinea, as alike physically as two distinct countries can be, are zoologically as wide as the poles asunder ; while Australia, with its dry winds, its open plains, its stony deserts, and its temperate climate, yet produces birds and quadrupeds which are closely related to those inhabiting the hot, damp, luxuriant forests which everywhere clothe the plains and mountains of New Guinea.
Page 15 - ... Climate is clearly not the force which makes nations, for it does not always make them, and they are often made without it. The problem of ' nation-making ' — that is, the explanation of the origin of nations such as we now see them, and such as in historical times they have always been — cannot, as it seems to me, be solved without separating it into two: one, the making of...
Page 17 - And again, in political matters, how quickly a leading statesman can change the tone of the community ! We are most of us earnest with Mr. Gladstone ; we were most of us not so earnest in the time of Lord Palmerston. The change is what every one feels, though no one can define it.
Page 269 - Many who hold it would probably assent to the position that at the present moment all our philosophy, all our poetry, all our science, and all our art — Plato, Shakespeare, Newton, and Raphael — are potential in the fires of the sun!
