A moment later Mr. Miles, pink and twinkling, emerged from the background, as if buoyed up on his broad white gown, and briskly dominated the bowed heads in the front rows. He prayed energetically and briefly and then retired, and a fierce nod from Lambert Sollas warned the girls that they were to follow at once with "Home, Sweet Home."
*See his article in Anthropologie, Vol. XX. , p. 257. As Professor Sollas mainly relies on Boule, it is important to see that there is a very great difference between the two. We must therefore hesitate to accept the statement that primitive man had as large a brain, if not a larger brain, than a modern race.
But I would point out that some of the recent criticisms are exaggerated. The Gibraltar skull is estimated by Professor Sollas himself to have a capacity of about 1260; and his conclusion that it is an abnormal or feminine skull rests on no positive grounds.
But I wouldn't let Bill Sollas from over the hill hang round here waiting for the youngest Targatt girl, because I know him... that's all... even if I don't know about books all I ought to...." She stopped with a choking in her throat. Tremors of rage were running through her, and she steadied herself against the edge of the desk lest he should see her weakness.
"The result," says Professor Sollas, "of numerous investigations carried out during the last quarter of a century is to show that, within certain limits, no discoverable relation exists between the magnitude of the brain or even its gross anatomy and intellectual power," and he illustrates this statement by a list giving the cranial capacities and brain-weights of a number of famous men which shows that though Bismarck had a skull capacity of 1,965 cubic centimetres, Liebniz, who attained to the highest flights of genius, had a cranium measuring only 1,422 cubic centimetres.
"All the old names... all the old names...." Miss Hatchard would be heard, tapping across the hall on her crutches. "Targatt... Sollas... Fry: this is Miss Orma Fry sewing the stars on the drapery for the organ-loft.
Let your survey of human progress be age-long and world-wide. You come of a large family and an ancient one. Learn to be proud of it, and then you will seek likewise to be worthy of it. W. J. Sollas, Ancient Hunters and their Modern Representatives, 2nd edition, 1915. E. A. Parkyn, Introduction to the study of Prehistoric Art.
Sir Edwin Ray Lankester, Professor Sollas, and Dr. This is, apparently, so serious a reversal of the familiar statement in regard to the evolution of man that we must consider it carefully. *See especially an address by Professor Sollas in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, Vol.
Preserve it to us, O Lord, in times to come, in all its homely sweetness in the kindliness and wisdom of its old people, in the courage and industry of its young men, in the piety and purity of this group of innocent girls " He flapped a white wing in their direction, and at the same moment Lambert Sollas, with his fierce nod, struck the opening bars of "Auld Lang Syne." ...Charity stared straight ahead of her and then, dropping her flowers, fell face downward at Mr.
Sometimes she envied the other girls their sentimental preoccupations, their long hours of inarticulate philandering with one of the few youths who still lingered in the village; but when she pictured herself curling her hair or putting a new ribbon on her hat for Ben Fry or one of the Sollas boys the fever dropped and she relapsed into indifference.
