Another word, which may seem like heresy. I contend that the main object of reading after a basis of solid culture has been acquired is to gain amusement. No one was ever the worse for reading good novels, for human fortunes will always interest human beings. I would say keep clear of Sir John Lubbock's terrific library, and seek a little for pleasure. You have authoritative examples before you.
And finally, to end this apology, wherein I seem somewhat to have fallen into the error I laid to Sir John Lubbock's charge, does not the capacity for folly so great in itself argue intelligence? For thus it is ever in the uncertain domain of the intellect, apparently the most vacillating and precarious condition of matter.
He had studied Darwin, and had even read a book of Sir John Lubbock's. At last Hardy interrupted. "There are no more legends or traditions of Veile, are there?" he said. "As I have said before, there are many," was the reply, "and here is one. Once there were two brothers living near Fredericia, one was rich, the other was poor. The place they lived at wanted a church.
After reviewing Lubbock's wholesale quotations concerning the Indian tribes of Brazil, he says, "These are Sir John Lubbock's instances from South American tribes. But I find that they are all either erroneous or insufficiently established." And he gives many counter-proofs.
Britt.; Lubbock's Prehistoric Times, and his Origin of Civilization; Argyll, The Unity of Nature ; J. Geikie, Prehistoric Europe ; Lyell, The Antiquity of Man; W. E. Hearn, The Aryan Household; L. H. Morgan, Ancient Society. THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN. Science does not furnish us with the means of fixing the date of the first human inhabitants of the earth.
Tylor, 'Early History of Mankind, 1865, p. 6. See also the three striking chapters on the 'Development of Religion, in Lubbock's 'Origin of Civilisation, 1870. In a like manner Mr. As the spiritual being is supposed to exist after death and to be powerful, it is propitiated by various gifts and ceremonies, and its aid invoked.
But as far as I can see, there is no necessity on this ground for believing in absolutely promiscuous intercourse; and I am glad to find that this is Sir J. Lubbock's view.
If our instructors in moral philosophy will only base their theory of ethics as broadly as this, we shall no longer need to advertise "Homes Wanted;" for the joint efforts of men and women will soon provide them. Nothing throws more light on the whole history of woman than the first illustration in Sir John Lubbock's "Origin of Civilization."
Wallace was on the point of starting, "came running down after us holding up a bird, and saying with great satisfaction, 'Now I owe you nothing!" And this though he could have withheld payment with complete impunity. Mr. Wallace's observations and opinions on this head seem hardly to meet with due appreciation in Sir John Lubbock's recent work on Primitive Man.
Sir John Lubbock's Method.+ In his work on "Representation," Sir John Lubbock says: "The full advantage of the single transferable vote would require a system of large constituencies returning three or five members each, thus securing a true representation of opinion."
