The strata are either of lava or burnt matter, with veins of good soil between them...
Página 231 - It is remarkable, however, to observe how surely all these classes of men in a few generations, even •without any intermarriage with the Hindoos, assume the deep olive tint, little less dark than a negro, which seems natural to the climate.

For it was religion which,...
Página 289 - From the time of Buffbn," says Dr. Wiseman, in his learned Lectures on Science and Revealed Religion, " system rose beside system, like the moving pillars of the desert, advancing in threatening array; but like them they were fabrics of sand; and though in 1806 the French Institute counted more than EIGHTY such theories of geology hostile to Scripture history, not one of them has stood till now, or deserves to be recorded.

This does not appear explicable on any other hypothesis, than that of admitting fragments of a primary language yet to exist through all the languages of the old and new world.
