Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quaint Gleanings From Ancient Poetry: A Collection of Curious Poetical Compositions of the Xvith, Xvith, and Xviith Centuries The following curious collection I have gathered together during several years' reading in out-of-the-way corners. Manu scripts, in public and private libraries; old books picked up on dusty bookstalls, or carried away as prizes from. The haule field of the auction-room; even 'pencillingeuo on the inside of tattered: bmd1ng93 - al'l' have been laid under contribution. I trust this medley, or pot of; snatches of song, grave and gay, will prove as interesting to my readers as they have been to myself. They claim attention on various grounds some are the works of well-known men, such as Anthony Munday and Warren Hastings; some are bitter political squibs - such, for instance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Life-History of the Earth: A Comprehensive Outline of the Principles and Leading Facts of Palaeontological Science The study of Palaeontology, or the science which is concerned with the living beings which flourished upon the globe during past periods of its history, may be pursued by two parallel but essentially distinct paths. By the one method of inquiry, we may study the anatomical characters and structure Of the innumerable extinct forms Of life which lie buried in the rocks simply as so many organisms, with but a slight and secondary reference to the time at which they lived. By the other method, fossil animals are regarded prin cipally as so many landmarks in the ancient records Of the world, and are studied fiz'sz'om'mlly and as regards their relations to the chronological succession of the strata in which they are entombed. In so doing, it is of course impossible to wholly ignore their structural characters, and their relationships with animals now living upon the earth; but these points are held to occupy a subordinate place, and to require nothing more than a comparatively general attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Face From Fish to Man: A Portrait Gallery of Our Ancient Ancestors and Kinsfolk Together With a Concise History of Our Best Features A foreword to a volume such as the present one of Dr. Gregory's is as superfluous as would be the retention of the third eye, the Cyclopean one, of our ancestors, in the center of our forehead today. No more wonderful subject for a volume could be imagined than the evolution of the human face, and no more competent author than William K. Gregory. The result seems to me eminently satisfactory. If the reader's interest is real but cursory, let him do nothing but look at the illustrations. They will ensure a thousand percent interest to every walk along Fifth Avenue or Regent Street. If pressure of other interests permits only an hour's perusal, or complete lack of natural history know ledge requires facts to be strained through the mesh of popular language, read but the preface and the first few paragraphs of each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Natural History, Vol. 2: A Description of Animal Life From the Lowest Forms Up to Man The question of fascination has also been debated to a great extent, but here the general opinion of naturalists seems to be that snakes really have no power of charming birds or animals, and that the many cases reported rest on erroneous Observation. The general tenor of these stories is familiar to all. A quotation from Catesby, a naturalist of a hundred and fifty years ago, who described the animals and plants Of the Carolinas, must suffice as a sample. Catesby never saw the operation, but describes it at second-hand as follows: All agree in' the manner of the Process, which is that the Animals, particularly Birds and Squirrels, no sooner spy the Snake than they skip from Spray to Spray, hovering and approaching gradually nearer the Enemy, regardless of any other Danger, but with distracted Gestures and Outcries descend, tho' from the top of the loftiest Trees, to the Mouth of the Snake, who Openeth his Jaws, takes them in, and instantly swallows them.
