Gabriel Harvey, a kind of Don Adriano de Armado, whose chief claim to remembrance is, that he was the friend of Spenser, boasts that he was the first to whom the notion of transplantation occurred.
Over the way stood Marie in a white cap, with a basket over her arm; she nodded to him, with rosy cheeks. Transplantation had made her grow; every time he saw her she was more erect and prettier. At his parents'-in-law the strictest economy prevailed. All sorts of things household possessions had disappeared from that once so comfortable home; but there was no lack of good spirits.
Domestic animals had shared the tremendous experiment of transplantation of a fragment of the English race, and had suffered, no doubt, with their masters and owners, the struggles with savages and unaccustomed circumstances, but they had survived and increased "after their kind." Even through the strenuous wars against their very existence by uncivilized man, they lived and increased.
How pure, how delicate, yet how natural and spontaneous his humour was, his friends and associates knew well; and what is by no means always the case the humour of his writing was of exactly the same tone and quality as the humour of his conversation. It lost nothing in the process of transplantation.
This very remarkable fact has been well established and very plainly set forth, a few years ago, by eminent English reviewers. Meanwhile, Ireland was a prey to all the evils which can afflict a nation. Pestilence was added to the ravages of war and the woes of transplantation, and it raged alike among the conquerors and the conquered.
These must bear in mind the great density of the water of the sea, and the surprising results of transplantation to that medium. To understand a little what these are, and how a man's weight, so far from being an encumbrance, is the very ground of his agility, was the chief lesson of my submarine experience. The knowledge came upon me by degrees.
In her childless experience there was no other life that had taken root in her circumstances and might suffer transplantation; only she and her husband could lose or profit by the change. The "perfect" understanding would come under other conditions than these. She would have gone superstitiously to the window to gaze in the direction of the vanished ship, but another instinct restrained her.
At any rate, the Indians were, in defiance, it must be said, of the plain letter of the treaty, compelled to choose between submission to the laws of Georgia and transplantation beyond the Mississippi. Most of them were in the event transplanted. Jackson's direction of foreign policy was not only vigorous but sagacious.
Miss Buckston had a manner of saying rude things in sincere unconsciousness that they could offend anybody. She herself did not take offence easily; she was, as she would have said, 'tough. But Mrs. Pepperell had all the sensitiveness for herself and for others of her race, the British race, highly strung with several centuries of transplantation to an electric climate.
What is extraordinary, we find England in a very tolerable state of population in less than two centuries after the first invasion of the Saxons; and it is hard to imagine either the transplantation, or the increase, of that single people to have been, in so short a time, sufficient for the settlement of so great an extent of country.
