Is it a refinement of cruelty that brings you here to watch and analyze my suffering, as a biologist looks through lenses at an insect he empales, or Pasteur scrutinizes the mortal throes of the victims into whose veins he has injected poison?" If she had drawn a lash across his face, it would not have stung more keenly than her words, so expressive of detestation.
Finally her searching paused. There was her father's brother who had gone in for science deciding against the army and the church Professor Bramwell Winton, the biologist. He lived somewhere toward Covent Garden. She had not thought of him for years. Occasionally his name appeared in some note issued by the museum, or a college at Oxford.
Among insects especially the biologist finds many types of organized living things, ranging widely from the solitary individual a counterpart of something even more primitive than the most unsocial savage now existing up to communities that rival human civilization, as regards the concerted effect of the diversified lives of the component units.
Wherever he was, he had with him a block of paper leaves and a pencil, by means of which he carried on conversation; in parliament he always had at his side a shorthand-writer who took down the debates for him. Some of the most interesting information which I received regarding historical and current matters in Berlin was from the biologist Du Bois-Reymond.
"Those films are important." He turned. "Leroy!" The dapper little biologist appeared, his face questioning. "You and Jarvis are off to salvage the auxiliary," the Captain said. "Everything's ready and you'd better start now. Call back at half-hour intervals; I'll be listening." Leroy's eyes glistened. "Perhaps we land for specimens no?" he queried. "Land if you want to.
It is well known what persevering effort this biologist has devoted to demonstrating that transformation is brought about by the influence of the external on the internal, continuously exerted in the same direction, and not, as Darwin held, by accidental variations.
Gentlemen, permit me one parting paragraph, before I write 'finis' on this matter of education, and 'hereafter for ever hold my peace. Be it distinctly understood, 'by these presents, that if that child Regina grows up a blue-stocking, or a metempsychosist, a scientist or a freedom-shrieker, a professor of physics or a practitioner of physic, judge of a court or mayor of a city, biologist, sociologist, heathen or heretic, it will be no work or wish of mine; for to each and all of these threatened, progressive abominations, I, Elise Lindsay, do hold up clean hands, and cry, Avaunt!"
Errors have been made in conducting the work at Maine which have made it possible for a mathematical biologist to take the data and seemingly prove that selection, as practiced by Professor Gowell, actually resulted in lowering inherent egg capacity of the strain of Plymouth Rock hens under experimentation.
There was no anthropologist aboard to study the semibarbaric civilization of the natives; there was no biologist to study the alien flora and fauna. The closest thing the commander had to physicists were engineers who could take care of the ship itself specialist technicians, nothing more.
Will it be said that the physicist, the chemist, or the biologist who follows this slow method, and who thus observes retroactively, practises physics and biology by introspection? Evidently this would be ridiculous. Conversely, introspection may, in certain cases, adopt the procedure of externospection.
