Moreover, Latin itself ceased to afford the sole key to knowledge. The student who sought the highest thought of antiquity found only a second-hand reflection of it in Eoman literature, and turned his face to the full light of the Greeks.
Сторінка 306 - Professor Huxley writes as follows : — " How far ' natural selection ' suffices for the production of species remains to be seen. Few can doubt that, if not the whole cause, it is a very important factor in that operation . . . On the evidence of...
Сторінка 321 - On this doctrine of the extermination of an infinitude of connecting links, between the living and extinct inhabitants of the world, and at each successive period between the extinct and still older species, why is not every geological formation charged with such links?
