Side 83 - The world's a bubble, and the life of man less than a span ; In his conception wretched, from the womb so to the tomb : Curst from the cradle, and brought up to years with cares and fears.
Side 93 - I must show you that the fatal consequence is not coercive, as is commonly imagined ; and that, even though our soul's life (as here below it is revealed to us) may be in literal strictness the function of a brain that perishes, yet it is not at all impossible, but on the contrary quite possible) that the life may still continue when , the brain itself is dead.
Side 94 - My thesis now is this : that, when we think of the law that thought is a function of the brain, we are not required to think of productive function only ; we are entitled also to consider permissive or transmissive function.
Side 83 - For it is not the individual, but only the species that Nature cares for, and for the preservation of which she so earnestly strives, providing for it with the utmost prodigality through the vast surplus of the seed and the great strength of the fructifying impulse.
Side 18 - ... numerous exposures noted in the limited territory already examined suggests that other superposed sections nearer the margin may show the older drift in a weathered condition. The freshness of the subjacent bluish till about Keuka Lake does not suggest its correlation with the highly weathered till in New Jersey described by Salisbury. Nevertheless, this feature does not preclude identity of epochs, since the latter drift, which was never covered by a later till-sheet, has been subject to agents...
Side 83 - The world's a bubble and the Life of Man Less than a span In his conception wretched, from the womb So to the tomb; Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years With cares and fears. Who then to frail mortality shall trust, But limns on water, or but writes in dust.
Side 206 - ... Present Condition of the Problem of Glacial Erosion. The problem of glacial erosion in mountains has in recent years been carried many steps towards its solution by means of a series of studies in which the forms of formerly glaciated and of never glaciated mountains have been systematically compared. It has thus come to be believed by a number of observers that the glacial erosion of piedmont lake basins must be extended to the over-deepening of the main mountain valleys far upstream from the...
Side 5 - The earlier drift in New Jersey is thus described: "The outer and older drift is deeply weathered from top to bottom, even where it has a thickness of thirty feet, the greatest thickness it is known to possess. Its stones, so far as they are of decomposable rock, are decayed.
Side 75 - It is now generally admitted that the man of to-day is the child and product of incalculable antecedent time. His physical and intellectual textures have been woven for him during his passage through phases of history and forms of existence which lead the mind back to an abysmal past.
Side 204 - DAVIS announces (Apfalachia, vol. ix., March 1900) that his doubts as to the ability of ice to erode deep valleys and basins have been dispelled by a study of the valley of the Ticino, towards St. Gotthard. The fact that the side valleys open into the main valley several hundred feet up, indi. cates that the ice-stream, while deepening the main channel...
