Strona 156 - Christianity, of more than three centuries' duration in Congo, has scarcely excited a progressive civilization. Thus, even the good qualities given to the Negro by the bounty of miture, have seemed only to make him a slave trodden down by every remorseless foot, and to brand him for ages with the epithet of outcast — the marked unceasing proof of a curse a?
Strona 4 - Daran erkenn' ich den gelehrten Herrn! Was ihr nicht tastet, steht euch meilenfern, Was ihr nicht faßt, das fehlt euch ganz und gar, Was ihr nicht rechnet, glaubt ihr, sei nicht wahr, 49*° Was ihr nicht wägt, hat für euch kein Gewicht, Was ihr nicht münzt, das, meint ihr, gelte nicht.
Strona 155 - In Sligo and the northern Mayo the consequences of two centuries of degradation and hardship exhibit themselves in the whole physical condition of the people, affecting not only the features, but the frame, and giving such an example of human deterioration from known causes as almost compensates, by its value to future ages, for the suffering and debasement which past generations have endured in perfecting its appalling lesson.
Strona 328 - ... imagine to be purely native, is the term by which this plant is known from one extremity of the archipelago to another. There can, therefore, be little doubt, as in the case of rice, that one tribe instructed all the rest in its culture. As far as a matter of this nature is capable of demonstration, it may also be conjectured that maize was cultivated in the Indian islands before the discovery of America, and that the plant is an indigenous product.
Strona 196 - Already the United States man differs in appearance from the European : the ladies early lose their teeth ; in both sexes the adipose cellular cushion interposed between the skin and the aponeuroses and muscles disappears, or, at least, loses its adipose portion ; the muscles become stringy, and show themselves ; the tendons appear on the surface ; symptoms of premature decay manifest themselves.
Strona 77 - For 1800 years that race has been dispersed in different latitudes and climates, and they have preserved themselves distinct from intermixture with other races of mankind. There are some Jews still lingering in the valleys of the Jordan, having been oppressed by the successive conquerors of Syria for ages, — a low race of people, and described by trustworthy travellers as being as black as any of the Ethiopian races. Others of the Jewish people, participating in European civilization, and dwelling...
Strona 305 - The learned Dr. Young applied to this subject the mathematical test of his calculus of probabilities, and says it would appear therefrom that nothing whatever could be inferred with respect to the relation of any two languages, from the coincidence of sense of any single word in both of them; the odds would be three to one against the agreement of any two words; but if three words appear to be identical, it would be then more than ten to one that they must be derived in both cases from some parent...
Strona 260 - Jagden, ihnen die Zeit der Ruhe ist? Darum haben sie so viele Kinder und leben länger als wir. Ich sage also Jedem, der mich hören will, bevor die Cedern unseres Dorfes vor Alter werden abgestorben sein und die Ahornbäume des Thalcs aufhören uns Zucker zu geben, wird das Geschlecht der kleinen Kornsäer das Geschlecht der Fleischesser vertilgt haben, wofern diese Jäger sich nicht entschließen, zu säen!
Strona 305 - ... more than ten to one that they must be derived in both cases from some parent language, or introduced in some other manner ; six words would give more than 1700 chances to one, and eight, near 100,000 ; so that, in these cases, the evidence would be little short of absolute certainty.
Strona 407 - Deorum. pronaque cum spectent animalia cetera terram, os homini sublime dedit: coelumque tueri jussit, et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus.
