38013 | Other footprints there are in this prison- yard; the great round"spoor"of the mammoth, the hoofs of a deer, and the paws of a wolf(? |
38013 | The question is often asked-- How long ago did this or that animal live? |

31899 | How may they reason soundly or plan sagely? 31899 Are there no substitutes for coal which we can use and can not export? 31899 By whom is it mined? 31899 Fuel oil, gasoline, lubricating oil-- for these three essentials are there no practical substitutes or other adequate sources? 31899 HAVE WE TOO MANY MINES AND MINERS? 31899 Has the last word been said as to the carburetor? 31899 Have all possible mixtures which will save oil and substitute cheaper and less rare combustibles therefor been tried? 31899 How can all be''free and equal''until they have free access to the same sources of self- help and an equal chance to secure them? 31899 How much coal is normally mined in this country? 31899 How much less could be mined if coal were conserved instead of wasted? 31899 The coal strike 1 National stock- taking 3 Coal as a national asset 3 Public responsibility 4 The miners''year 5 Have we too many mines and miners? 31899 To what uses is it put? 31899 What better methods have been developed for using coal than those of ancient custom? 31899 What is its quality? 31899 What substitutes can be found for coal and how quickly may these be made available? 31899 Who gets it? 31899 Who is to blame that so small a supply is on the surface? 31899 Why burden our congested railroads with this traffic? 31899 Why have we so many mines working so many miners? 31899 Why should we live from day to day in so vital a matter as a fuel supply? 31899 Why strew our streets with this dirt? 42584 A fish or a lizard? 42584 Again, did certain long- legged Dinosaurs eventually give rise by evolution to the running birds, ostriches, emeus, etc.? 42584 And do we not now know that there are hundreds of them found fossil up and down the world? 42584 Another question naturally suggests itself: Were they viviparous, or did they lay eggs like crocodiles? 42584 But the reader inquires,What is the nature of these creatures thus left stranded a thousand miles from either ocean? |
42584 | He concludes with the question,''To which of the recognised classes of created beings can this huge rover of the ocean be referred?'' |
42584 | He says,"Did not learned men too hold, till within the last twenty- five years, that a flying dragon was an impossible monster? |
42584 | How came they in the limestone of Kansas, and were they denizens of land?" |
42584 | How did they get drowned? |
42584 | How, then, could it reach or pick up anything lying on the ground? |
42584 | No reptiles of the present day are capable of masticating their food; how, then, could he venture to assign it to a reptile? |
42584 | Shall we call this earth- drama a tragedy or a comedy? |
42584 | The question therefore arises-- Was this tortoise a creature of the imagination, or was the idea of it drawn from a living reality? |
42584 | Then why not sea- serpents? |
42584 | This elaborate apparatus must have been of some special use; the question is-- What service or services did it perform? |
42584 | Was there ever an age of dragons? |
42584 | We can, however, well imagine some of our readers asking,"Can these dry bones live?" |
42584 | Were they nocturnal in their habits, wandering about by night, and taking their rest by day? |
42584 | Were they related to ancient crocodiles? |
42584 | What better lesson could the master have given the pupil to help him to remember his"Law of Correlation"? |
42584 | What, then, was the consequence? |
42584 | Who shall ever see them lit up with the same unmitigated enthusiasm again? |
42584 | Would it not be an advantage for them to have the power of seeing their finny prey whether near or far? |
42584 | those represented by crocodiles, lizards, snakes, and turtles?" |
42584 | weight in some three or four months? |
47648 | Again, the reader may ask, by what line of reasoning do we conclude that these stratified rocks are so exceedingly ancient? |
47648 | But how may we separate the Proterozoic rocks from the Archeozoic? |
47648 | By what process of reasoning do we conclude that arms of the early Cambrian sea reached across eastern and western North America? |
47648 | CHAPTER XVII EVOLUTION OF PLANTS Have we any knowledge regarding the beginning of life on our planet? |
47648 | Do the most ancient known rocks show that animal life existed during Archeozoic time? |
47648 | From what original stock did they branch off? |
47648 | Have we any definite idea of the relations of land and water in North America during the first or Cambrian period of the Paleozoic era? |
47648 | How can it be proved that certain rock formations in various parts of the earth originated practically at the same time? |
47648 | How can the geologist assign a rock formation of any part of the earth to a particular age in the history of the earth? |
47648 | How do crystals develop such regularity of form? |
47648 | How do we know that the Taconic disturbance took place toward the close of the Ordovician period? |
47648 | How does the geologist determine the actual amount of displacement, especially in the case of a large fault in stratified rocks? |
47648 | How fast do glaciers flow? |
47648 | How is the geological birthday of a mountain range determined? |
47648 | How long ago did the Ice Age end? |
47648 | How, then, do we reconcile these two seemingly paradoxical statements? |
47648 | If this great lake is a cut- off arm of the sea, with no outlet, how do we explain the fact that its salinity is much less than that of the ocean? |
47648 | Is there real danger that our supply of coal will soon run out? |
47648 | It may occur to the reader to ask, how long ago did the Grenville ocean exist? |
47648 | What are some of the causes leading up to such a situation? |
47648 | What are some of the processes of nature whereby rocks are weathered? |
47648 | What are the salient points in the very early history of the earth( not including the evolution of organisms) shown by these very ancient rocks? |
47648 | What becomes of the materials eroded by the ice? |
47648 | What happens to a very hard, resistant igneous rock like granite when attacked by the weather? |
47648 | What has been the source of these salts? |
47648 | What is the bearing of this nebular hypothesis upon the early geological history of the earth? |
47648 | What is the nature of the evidence as recorded in the rocks which lead us to conclude that the Proterozoic era lasted such a vast length of time? |
47648 | What is the source of the steam and other gases or vapors? |
47648 | What is their ancestry? |
47648 | When did animal life begin on the earth, and what were the first forms like? |
47648 | Where are we to draw the line between the higher apes and the lowest forms of man? |
47648 | Where such rocks extend far down from or near the surface, how does rain water descend? |
47648 | Why are the very early Paleozoic strata so rich in fossils, while the immediately preceding Proterozoic rocks show so few? |
33925 | After all these changes do you not want to know what happened next? |
33925 | And how was it made? |
33925 | Are shells in the sea being covered up with clay,--with mud,--and more shellfish living on the top of that; and then, are they, too, being covered up? |
33925 | As before, what is happening to- day? |
33925 | But how have these great masses of flints been swept along? |
33925 | But where did the silica come from? |
33925 | Can the land have been down under the sea; and have sea waves washed the stones along? |
33925 | Does sand on a sea shore ever become hard like rock, so that shells buried in it are found afterwards in hard rock? |
33925 | For what does it tell us? |
33925 | How are they there? |
33925 | How did they get there? |
33925 | How do these beds rise up again, so that we find them with their sea shells in the quarry? |
33925 | How do we know this? |
33925 | How do we know this? |
33925 | How? |
33925 | If it goes on long enough--? |
33925 | Is limestone being made anywhere to- day, and are shells being shut up in it? |
33925 | Now what is the chalk? |
33925 | Now, do we anywhere to- day find these tiny shells in such masses as to build up rocks? |
33925 | Now, have we any deposits formed at that time in the Isle of Wight? |
33925 | So that in years to come they will be found in layers of clay and stone like those we have been looking at in quarry and sea cliff? |
33925 | The Upper Crioceras Group( 46 ft.), like the Lower, contains bands of Crioceras? |
33925 | Then where were they formed? |
33925 | Were there no birds? |
33925 | What about the clays and the limestone? |
33925 | What becomes of all the mud the streams and rivers are carrying down into the sea? |
33925 | What immense rush of water can have spread these flints 30 feet deep along a river valley? |
33925 | What is the meaning of this extension of the alluvium away from the course of the river out to the sea at Sandown? |
33925 | What kind of animals? |
33925 | What kind of trees grew in the country the river came from? |
33925 | What was the country like south of this? |
33925 | Where did the mud come from? |

14179 | But has the earth already undergone so great changes, and is it not yet arrived at the period of its perfection? |
14179 | But is it really so? |
14179 | But this is right; for, how are false opinions to be corrected, except in being opposed by the opinions of other men? |
14179 | But why seek for this compensation in the_ rest_ or immobility of things? |
14179 | But, if we are to suppose much to have been wasted, where shall we stop in this process of restoring continents? |
14179 | But, on what can they be fed? |
14179 | Car comment ne resteroit- il aucun vestige de cette montagne? |

14179 | Do they never waste? |
14179 | Here a question occurs; Has this valley been made by the operation of the river itself, or has it been the effect of other causes? |
14179 | How then have they become separated peaks? |
14179 | How, for example, accumulate the_ debris_ of the Breven, as we have now seen, upon the summit of that mountain, by the force of running water? |
14179 | How, for example, could a perpendicular mountain, such as St. Kilda, have been produced in the ocean? |
14179 | Mais quand ont- ils été détachées? |
14179 | Now, upon that supposition, the appearances are inexplicable; for, How transport those materials, for example, across the lake of Geneva? |
14179 | Or si, en élevant les filons, ce coin se trouve sans appui; comment s''est- il soutenu avant que les filons fussent formés? |
14179 | Or, Is it to perpetuate the progress of that system, which, in other respects, appears to be contrived with so much wisdom? |
14179 | Quelle est la cause qui les a redressés? |
14179 | Was it the work of accident, or effect of an occasional transaction, that by which the sea had covered our land? |
14179 | What is become of that city? |
14179 | What more can we require? |
14179 | Why suppose perfection in the want of change? |
14179 | doit- on considérer le Mont- Blanc ou telle autre de ces aiguilles, comme un énorme crystal? |

34192 | But how,the person addressed may retort,"can a mass which you assume to be viscous exist under similar conditions? |
34192 | Can the pressure produce the cleavage? |
34192 | How,I have asked,"can the oblique structure persist across the lines of greatest differential motion throughout the length of the glacier?" |
34192 | How,demands the antagonist of the sliding theory,"can a secondary glacier exist upon so steep a slope? |
34192 | After twelve hours we find the stake fifteen inches distant from its first position: I would ask Mr. Thomson how did it get there? |
34192 | And how can the veins run, as they are admitted to do,_ across the lines of maximum sliding_ from their origin throughout the glacier to its end? |
34192 | But what is it which thus moves? |
34192 | Can it be doubted that this Savoyard priest had a premonition of the Conservation of Force? |
34192 | Can it be supposed that the particles of ice execute a motion of this kind? |
34192 | Can it be that the superior exposure is more favourable to the formation of the magnetic oxide of iron? |
34192 | Can it be then that the ice exhibits a similar deportment? |
34192 | Does not all this sound more like a fairy tale than the sober conclusions of science? |
34192 | Had not their motion through the air something to do with the shape of these hailstones? |
34192 | Has it been liquefied and re- frozen? |
34192 | He asks himself, what will be the effect of pressure upon a mass containing such plates confusedly mixed up in it? |
34192 | How are the moraines to be accounted for? |
34192 | How have the blocks vanished that once loaded the moraines near the Tacul? |
34192 | How many inches are there in 192,000 miles? |
34192 | How, in fine, does the end of a glacier become its end? |
34192 | I asked myself why I deviated from my original intention? |
34192 | I turned to Bennen, and said,"Shall we try the Jungfrau?" |
34192 | I was in exceedingly good condition-- could I not reach the summit alone? |
34192 | If it be viscous, what prevents it from rolling down?" |
34192 | If sixty steps cost an hour, what would be the cost of two hundred? |
34192 | Imagine a wide strand covered by a tide which holds such powder in suspension:[B] how will it sink? |
34192 | Is it meant that the molecules composing these sensible particles have re- arranged themselves? |
34192 | Is it meant that these particles, each taken as a whole, were re- arranged after deposition? |
34192 | Might not a solid rock by ages of pressure be folded as above? |
34192 | Nature was dumb, but the question occurred,"Had she been addressed in the proper language?" |
34192 | Professor Forbes states and answers the question,"How far a glacier is to be regarded as a plastic mass?" |
34192 | The ancients had their spheral melodies, but have not we ours, which only want a sense sufficiently refined to hear them? |
34192 | The question reminds one of the poet''s answer when asked whence was the Rhodora:--"Why wert thou there, O rival of the rose? |
34192 | The question then was, supposing the two beams to be equal when the tube was filled with air, will the exhausting of the tube disturb the equality? |
34192 | Was it necessarily softer than it is at present? |
34192 | We ask ourselves how is the permanence of the glacier secured? |
34192 | What effort of the imagination could transcend the realities here presented to us? |
34192 | What is Light? |
34192 | What is the agency which enables us to split Honister Crag, or the cliffs of Snowdon, into laminæ from crown to base? |
34192 | What is the consequence of this? |
34192 | What is this force? |
34192 | What then can be the cause of the noise? |
34192 | What then can the viscous theory mean apart from the facts? |
34192 | What then is the meaning of viscosity or viscidity? |
34192 | What was the physical condition of the rock when it was thus bent and folded like a pliant mass? |
34192 | Whence come the blocks which we often find at the terminus of a glacier, and which we know belong to distant mountains? |
34192 | Whence those frozen blossoms? |
34192 | Why for æons wasted? |

12861 | But is it necessary, that every particular appearance, among minerals, should be thus explained in a general theory of the earth? |
12861 | But is not this the case? |
12861 | But with what are they to be filled? |
12861 | But, Is a theory of the earth to be formed upon such a negative observation? |

12861 | If, again, the land naturally decays, Why employ so extraordinary a power, in order to hide a former continent of land, and puzzle man? |
12861 | Look into the sources of our mineral treasures; ask the miner, from whence has come the metal into his vein? |
12861 | Now, What are those effects? |

12861 | Or may it not be also considered as an organized body? |

12861 | The term_ vegetation_ may as well be employed for the explanation of those appearances: But what would now be said of such an explication? |
12861 | Therefore, may not the origin of both be similar_? |
12861 | This is, From whence should come the matter with which the numberless cavities in those masses are to be filled? |
12861 | What then are we to conclude upon the whole? |
12861 | What then does our author mean, in condemning that comprehensive view which I have endeavoured to take of nature? |
12861 | What then is it that is here meant to be disputed? |
12861 | [ Note 28: But what is this power by which matter is to be forced from the bottom of the sea to the top of the mountains? |
12861 | and, Does he think that it is not necessary to replace that soil which is removed? |
12861 | and, Is there any particular in this mountain, that may not be shown in others of which the origin is not in any degree doubtful? |
12861 | and, because we see not the beginning of created things, Are we to conclude that those things which we see have always been, or been without a cause? |
12861 | but, How far any one particular theory might explain a phenomenon better than another? |
47119 | Why,he asks,"did not this mineral matter come down in like quantity all the time of the deposit of the brown clay which underlies it? |
47119 | ; Alpine{ Lands(? |
47119 | And how, we may ask, could the postulated geographical changes bring about the glaciation of the mountainous tracts on the Pacific sea- board? |
47119 | And if they did not sail eastwards, what became of them? |
47119 | And what about the second glacial epoch? |
47119 | And what evidence of such local glaciation might we now expect to find? |
47119 | And who will take his place in the Long Island? |
47119 | Are we then to suppose that all the lands within the Northern Hemisphere were extensively and contemporaneously upheaved? |
47119 | Are we to infer the former existence of an extremely lofty range of Bohemian Alps which has since vanished? |
47119 | Are we to suppose that once more the lands were greatly uplifted, and that convenient Isthmus of Panama was again depressed? |
47119 | Are we to suppose, then, that it flowed in from the south or south- west? |
47119 | Are we, then, prepared to admit that the close of the Ice Age coincided with the dawn of Egyptian civilisation? |
47119 | At what horizon, then, does this steppe- fauna make its appearance? |
47119 | But how could this be, seeing that the Criffel and Cumbrian erratics occur side by side in one and the same deposit? |
47119 | But putting that consideration aside, what evidence have we that the Isthmus of Panama was submerged during the glacial epoch? |
47119 | But why should this wind have propelled the floating- ice so far and no further in an easterly direction? |
47119 | Can a big ice- sheet push down the earth''s crust by its weight? |
47119 | Can the weight of a great ice- sheet shift the earth''s centre of gravity, and, if so, to what extent? |
47119 | Did the ice, as we might have supposed, come out of the mountain- valleys and overflow the low country? |
47119 | Did the last great ice- sheet reach as far south as its predecessor? |
47119 | Did the reader ever indulge in such a mountain- bath? |
47119 | Did these also come at a different time? |
47119 | Did they all melt away immediately when they came into the ice- laden current that flowed towards the south- east? |
47119 | Having learned that no truly abysmal rocks enter into the composition of our continents, of what kind of rocks, we may ask, are the islands composed? |
47119 | He speaks of cold and warm currents, but where do we find any traces of the marine organisms which must have abounded in those waters? |
47119 | How are these to be accounted for? |
47119 | How can this be done by the land- ice theory? |
47119 | How do the supporters of the"earth- movement hypothesis"explain this remarkable succession of climatic changes? |
47119 | How is it then, if the bottom beds be really of Silurian and the igneous rocks of Old Red Sandstone age, that a gap is said to exist between them? |
47119 | How is the existing distribution of land and water to be accounted for? |
47119 | How, then, can we explain the appearance of local glaciers in these latitudes during Mesozoic times? |
47119 | In what region under the sun does anything like that happen at the present day? |
47119 | Is it possible, then, to explain the climatic vicissitudes of the Pleistocene period by means of such oscillations? |
47119 | Now what do all these appearances mean? |
47119 | Now, I ask, is it possible to believe that a sheet of ice of that thickness actually pressed down the crust of the earth for not less than 3600 feet? |
47119 | These beds have yielded remains of elk(_ Cervus alces_), rhinoceros( species not determined), a small fox(? |
47119 | Upon what kind of surface did it fall? |
47119 | What are_ roches moutonnées_ but the rounded relics of what were formerly rough uneven tors, projecting bosses, and prominent rocks? |
47119 | What areas have been covered with perennial snow and ice? |
47119 | What could have blocked its passage in that direction? |
47119 | What is the meaning of these intercalated glacial accumulations? |
47119 | What might not be expected to happen were the Gulf Stream to be excluded from northern regions? |
47119 | What now, let us ask, are the outstanding features of the coast- lines of the Atlantic Ocean? |
47119 | What was it that defined the southern limits of these northern boulders? |
47119 | What will archæologists say to this conclusion? |
47119 | What would result from such an unhappy change? |
47119 | What, in the first place, is greywacké? |
47119 | What, then, it may be asked, were the causes which allowed of the much broader distribution of species in former ages? |
47119 | Where are the raised sea- beaches which must have marked the retreat of the sea? |
47119 | Where did the warm wind come from? |
47119 | Where do we encounter any organic relics that might help us to map out the zones of shallow and deep water? |
47119 | Where does all this sand come from? |
47119 | Where, then, did the ice come from? |
47119 | Where, then, we are asked, is there any evidence in Palæozoic, Mesozoic, or Cainozoic strata of former widespread glacial conditions? |
47119 | Why are coast- lines in some regions extremely regular, while elsewhere they are much indented? |
47119 | Why does n''t he put his money in the savings- bank, and by- and- by die and leave it to those who come after him? |
47119 | With such a map could our meteorologists infer what the climatic conditions must have been? |

42043 | [ 51] But what would be the result if we only extend this idea to its logical conclusion? 42043 = These things must be first explained.= Has anything happened to our world that will explain them? 42043 = We call it creation.= Can any one find a better name? 42043 According to Dana, all these must have met with aspeedy burial after death"--perhaps before, who knows? |
42043 | Accordingly I ask,= How much time is needed= to account for the facts before us on the basis of Uniformity? |
42043 | And= if one example, why not a million=? |
42043 | As has been said, How could the origin of nature be contrary to nature? |
42043 | But I ask: What kind of organic remains will we get from these modern deposits? |
42043 | But how did they come to shift to the Tropics so many millions of years before the palms, etc., of the Tertiaries thought it time to do the same? |
42043 | But if this be granted, we must then inquire, What was its nature? |
42043 | But let us take some of the"late"Tertiary and Pleistocene mammals, which can not be distinguished from living species, and how do we fare? |
42043 | But what other class of the animal kingdom will not point us a similar lesson? |
42043 | But where have these fellows kept themselves during all the intervening ages while the continents were deep under the ocean time and time again? |
42043 | But whither shall we turn to avoid finding similar phenomena? |
42043 | But why should it be necessary for us to positively settle the question as to just how far back in geological time Man actually did live? |
42043 | CHAPTER V TURNED UPSIDE DOWN How many of us have ever seen a mountain fall? |
42043 | Did the elements continue in the_ status quo_ all these uncounted millions of years? |
42043 | Do we understand all natural processes? |
42043 | Does it come of good stock, or is its family low and not very respectable? |
42043 | Does memory guide these little things in their wonderful division of labor? |
42043 | Have we already a sufficiently broad knowledge of the rocks of the world to decide such a question? |
42043 | How can it be improved? |
42043 | How could the origin of present forms and conditions be in any way at variance with the laws by which these forms or conditions are maintained? |
42043 | How could this bone breccia have been accumulated?... |
42043 | I should think so; but then what becomes of this doctrine of uniformity? |
42043 | If I am now asked: What do the rocks have to tell us, in view of the fact that they refuse to testify to a life succession? |
42043 | If, as this illustrious author says,"The seas had not been depopulated,"what would he have us think they were doing? |
42043 | In common honesty will a short eternity itself satisfy the stern problem before us? |
42043 | Is it possible that all the plants and animals of the Tertiaries and the Pleistocene may have really lived together in the same world after all? |
42043 | Our first and most natural inquiry is, What is it that leads scientists to think so? |
42043 | The climate had not changed a bit: how did they come to scent the coming"Glacial Age"so much earlier than their more highly organized fellows? |
42043 | This fault has a vertical displacement of more than 15,000 feet(? |
42043 | Were they forming no deposits all these intervening ages that the Carboniferous, Permian, and Triassic were being piled up? |

42043 | What is your opinion of Part I as an exposure of the Evolution| Theory? |
42043 | What kind of evidence can it be? |
42043 | Where then can we find a stratified or bedded structure now being formed over the ocean bottom? |
42043 | Who has not read of their untainted meat now making food for dogs and wolves? |
42043 | Why did the crinoids and polyp- corals suspend business from"Jurassic times"to the"recent,"merely to accommodate a modern theory? |
42043 | Why did they form no deposits during the Cretaceous, Eocene, Miocene or Pliocene ages? |
42043 | Why does the one build up claws and the other brain cells? |
42043 | Will some one please give us a reasonable explanation of why the lion, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, and elephant shifted from England to the tropics? |
42043 | Would it not be economy of energy to correlate the two together? |
42043 | Would the production of a few billion such beginnings of protoplasm be any less''natural''than of one alone? |
42043 | and if so, how did they receive notice that the Triassic period was at last ended, and that it was time for them to begin work again? |

6322 | But why, after having knocked one of us down, was he satisfied with simply stealing a hat? |
6322 | Can it be said that the numbers of the Europeans do not extend beyond ten, because we stop after having formed a group of ten units? |
6322 | Can these flames be attributed to the decomposition of water, entering into contact with the pyrites dispersed through the schistose marl? |
6322 | Did motives supposed to be favourable to religion, give rise to this extraordinary theory? |
6322 | Do grottoes belong to every formation, or to that period only when organized beings began to people the surface of the globe? |
6322 | Do these animals come from the bottom of the sea, which is perhaps in these latitudes some thousand fathoms deep? |
6322 | Does its existence prove, that, at some very distant period, the Guanches had connexions with other nations originally from Asia? |
6322 | Does not this fact prove that the bread- fruit might flourish in Calabria, Sicily, and Granada? |
6322 | Does the basis fall on the outside of the curve that I assume?) |
6322 | Does the periodical recurrence of this great phenomenon depend upon the state of the atmosphere? |
6322 | Does this unknown cause act at an immense depth; or does this chemical action take place in secondary rocks lying on granite? |
6322 | Has its name any connexion with those of the cavern and the bird? |
6322 | How can we be expected to know completely the flora of so vast an extent of country? |
6322 | How can we conceive the migration of plants through regions now covered by the ocean? |
6322 | How has this tree been transplanted to Teneriffe, where it is by no means common? |
6322 | In what manner ought we to consider the effect of the friction, or that of the shock? |
6322 | Is it a slight augmentation of temperature which favours the phosphorescence? |
6322 | Is it in fact a reflected or a direct light? |
6322 | Is the atmospheric constitution changed? |
6322 | Is this formation of the same date as that of Punta Araya and Cumana? |
6322 | May there not be in this place some sunken volcanic islet, more easterly still than Barbadoes?) |
6322 | May we believe the existence of those blue eyes of the Boroas of Chile and Guayanas of Uruguay; represented to us as nations of the race of Odin? |
6322 | Must it on this account be admitted, that the Caribbees are an entirely distinct race? |
6322 | Must we admit that emanations which reflect white light, and seem to have some analogy with the tails of comets, are less abundant at certain periods? |
6322 | Should we conclude from this position that they are of more recent formation than the lithoid basaltic lava, which contains olivine and augite? |
6322 | The phalaena which produces it is probably analogous with that of the provinces of Gua[? |
6322 | Was it built by the Romans on the ruins of a Greek or Phoenician edifice? |
6322 | Was this extraordinary refrigeration owing to some descending current? |
6322 | Was this kind of head- dress taken for a turban? |
6322 | We ask at Teneriffe what is become of the Guanches, whose mummies alone, buried in caverns, have escaped destruction? |
6322 | We chose, instead of the direct road, that by the mountains of the Cocollar*(* Is this name of Indian origin? |
6322 | We inquire at the isle of Cuba, at St. Domingo, and in Jamaica, where is the abode of the primitive inhabitants of those countries? |
6322 | Were they albinos, such as have been found heretofore in the isthmus of Panama? |
6322 | Were they of the same race as those Indians of a less tawny hue, whom M. Bonpland and myself saw at Esmeralda, near the sources of the Orinoco? |

6322 | What is the substance, which, for thousands of years, keeps up this combustion, sometimes so slow, and at other times so active? |

10251 | But how did the first land of all get made? |
10251 | ; trees which had grounded, and stuck in the mud; and why should not the coal have been formed in the same way? |
10251 | Am I not going out of my proper sphere to meddle with secular matters? |
10251 | Am I not, indeed, going into a sphere out of which I had better keep myself, and all over whom I may have influence? |
10251 | And coal, or rather culm, is the last link in a series of transformations from growing vegetation?" |
10251 | And how long did this period of slow sinking go on? |
10251 | And how were they changed? |
10251 | And if my readers want a probable cause why the sandstones lie undermost, and the red marl uppermost-- can they not find one for themselves? |
10251 | And if that bottom rock rose up a few miles off, two thousand feet, or any other height, into hills, what would you say then? |
10251 | And is a further transformation possible? |
10251 | And now if any reader shall say, Subsidence? |
10251 | And now, have I, or have I not, fulfilled the promise which I made-- rashly, I dare say some of you thought-- in my first paper? |
10251 | And now, if your imaginative friend chimed in triumphantly with:"Do you not see that I was right after all? |
10251 | And the red marl-- the great deposit of red marl which covers a wide region of England-- why should not it have come from the same quarter? |
10251 | And what are they? |
10251 | And what do I mean by good grain? |
10251 | And what do they tell us? |
10251 | And what is this? |
10251 | And what sort of fossils do we find in it? |
10251 | And why should not the slates in the roof be the remnants of the very beds which are now the marl in the fields? |
10251 | And, after that, what can come, save anarchy, and decay, and social death? |
10251 | Are you sure that you make up your own mind before you speak, or let someone else make it up for you? |
10251 | Are you sure that, though you may hate bigotry in others, you are not somewhat of a bigot yourself? |
10251 | As for the inside being full of sandstone, have we not all seen hollow trees? |
10251 | But are you sure first, that you think what you choose, or only what someone else chooses for you? |
10251 | But have Rain and Rivers alone made the soil? |
10251 | But here some of my readers may ask, as they have a perfect right to ask, why I wish young men to learn Natural Science at all? |
10251 | But how did it get there? |
10251 | But how does this theory explain the perfect purity of the coal? |
10251 | But how far to the west and north did that old continent stretch? |
10251 | But how shall we learn science by mere common sense? |
10251 | But in what state? |
10251 | But is it not all there? |
10251 | But now comes the question-- Even if all this be true, how were the forests covered up in shale and sandstone, one after another? |
10251 | But now: what is the limestone? |
10251 | But now: why should I, as a clergyman, interest myself specially in the spread of Natural Science? |
10251 | But of what kind of plants? |
10251 | But of what practical use will physical science be to me?" |
10251 | But what evidence have we of such sinkings? |
10251 | But what has all this to do with the slates? |
10251 | But what proof is there of this? |
10251 | But where are these vents? |
10251 | But where have all its vast heaps of ashes gone? |
10251 | But whither is it going? |
10251 | But, granting this, how did the first change take place? |
10251 | Did it, as it almost certainly did long ages afterwards, join Greenland and North America with Scotland and Norway? |
10251 | Did you never see that last? |
10251 | Do I seem almost impertinent in asking you to remember it? |
10251 | Do we not all know that when a tree dies its wood decays first, its bark last? |
10251 | Do you doubt me? |
10251 | Do you not see that it fell from the clouds? |
10251 | Do you wish to be free? |
10251 | Do you wish to be great? |
10251 | Do you wish to be strong? |
10251 | Do you wish to be wise? |
10251 | Does all this seem to you mere truism, my dear reader? |
10251 | Does any reader wish for proof of this? |
10251 | Does that seem to you a truism? |
10251 | Exhausted? |
10251 | For is not science antagonistic to religion? |
10251 | Freedom: what do we want freedom for? |
10251 | Give it but time enough, and what would it not eat up? |
10251 | Have we not found that that old sea was an icy sea? |
10251 | Have we not wandered on, step by step, into a whole true fairyland of wonders? |
10251 | Have you not a right to say,"These are all but varieties of the same kind of thing-- namely, vegetable matter? |
10251 | How does the mud get into the river? |
10251 | How long since that flag had seen the light of the sun, when it saw it once again, restored to the upper air by the pick of the quarryman? |
10251 | How long since? |
10251 | I know some will say, at least to themselves:"What need for us to study science? |
10251 | If He has bid you do so, can you do so too much? |
10251 | If I am asked whither is all that enormous mass of rock-- millions of tons-- gone? |
10251 | If you then came to a layer of limestone, would you not say the same? |

1697 | ( For there is a Why? |
1697 | ***** So? |
1697 | ***** Well, and what have you been doing? |
1697 | ***** Why are you opening your eyes at me like the dog when he wants to go out walking? |
1697 | A boy piling up slates? |
1697 | A bridge? |
1697 | A giant? |
1697 | A live manure- cart? |
1697 | A ring- island? |
1697 | Ah, yes; the old story, my child: Was not the earth always just what it is now? |
1697 | Am I joking? |
1697 | Am I made of lava? |
1697 | And are there many volcanos in the world? |
1697 | And do you not think that any one who took a gun and shot either that mother or that child would be both cowardly and cruel? |
1697 | And how can I do that? |
1697 | And how could the atoms of your fingers grow, and make fresh skin, if they were not each of them alive? |
1697 | And how did men change the soil? |
1697 | And how did they get into the chalk? |
1697 | And how far off are they? |
1697 | And how is it kept good? |
1697 | And how? |
1697 | And if there is, where did they come from? |
1697 | And is that really where Alfred fought the Danes? |
1697 | And now you will ask me, with more astonishment than ever, what possible use can there be in these destroying streams of fire? |
1697 | And now, I suppose, you will want to know what a volcano is like, and what a cone, and a crater, and lava are? |
1697 | And the poor Jews, who were carried away captive to Babylon? |
1697 | And then did all these beautiful grasses grow up of themselves? |
1697 | And then what will become of it? |
1697 | And underneath the roar of that flood, do you not hear a deeper note-- a dull rumbling, as if from underground? |
1697 | And were there any men and women in that old age of ice? |
1697 | And what are Pteropods? |
1697 | And what are the black lines across, marked E E E? |
1697 | And what are these coming now? |
1697 | And what are those black birds about, who croak like crows, or parrots? |
1697 | And what are those who say"marrock,"something like a parrot? |
1697 | And what can have made this little narrow valley? |
1697 | And what did I find? |
1697 | And what do you think will happen then? |
1697 | And what do you want to know first? |
1697 | And what does he do under water? |
1697 | And what had become of Vesuvius, the treacherous mountain? |
1697 | And what is a coral- reef like? |
1697 | And what is he saying now? |
1697 | And what is healing but growing again? |
1697 | And what is in it? |
1697 | And what is lava? |
1697 | And what is lime? |
1697 | And what is oxygen gas? |
1697 | And what is that black above it? |
1697 | And what is that in the air? |
1697 | And what is that shining between the trees? |
1697 | And what is that? |
1697 | And what is that? |
1697 | And what is the mount now? |
1697 | And what is the strongest thing you know of in the world? |
1697 | And what must the whole book be like? |
1697 | And what was that? |
1697 | And what will they do with him? |
1697 | And where did men get the grass seeds from? |
1697 | And where does that come from? |
1697 | And where is the furnace itself? |
1697 | And where would that come out? |
1697 | And whither do they go then? |
1697 | And why are the lines in it twisted? |
1697 | And why does it alter with the moon, as I heard you all saying so often in Ireland? |
1697 | And why does it go up and down? |
1697 | And why is the mouth of the chimney called a crater? |
1697 | And why should there be so many sorts of birds, all robbing the garden at once? |
1697 | And why should we not go homewards in the yacht, things and all? |
1697 | And why? |
1697 | And why? |
1697 | And why? |
1697 | Another forest coming up from below? |
1697 | Are they chalk? |
1697 | Are they snakes? |
1697 | Are they the young ones of that great monster? |
1697 | Are you a plant? |
1697 | Are you an animal? |
1697 | Are you making fun of me? |
1697 | As for the mountain''s being a burning mountain, who ever thought of that? |
1697 | At the top of the chimney? |
1697 | At the top of the cone? |
1697 | But a manufactory of what? |
1697 | But are not poor people often very silly about animals and plants? |
1697 | But are there Coprolites here? |
1697 | But are these really ice- marks? |
1697 | But did these people( savages perhaps) live when the country was icy cold? |
1697 | But did you notice something odd about his tail, as you call it-- though it is really none? |
1697 | But do dogs think? |
1697 | But do its wanderings stop there? |
1697 | But do these downs go to Cambridge? |
1697 | But do you recollect the drawing of the Medusa''s head, with its curling arms, branched again and again without end? |
1697 | But do you see that they dip away from us? |
1697 | But do you think it is all true about the pumas and jaguars? |
1697 | But had these people any religion? |
1697 | But have no whales any hair? |
1697 | But how about our moors? |
1697 | But how are you going to get through the chalk hills? |
1697 | But how can these lumps of chalk hold water? |
1697 | But how can they think without words? |
1697 | But how can trees fight? |
1697 | But how did it get here from London? |
1697 | But how did the coral- reefs rise till they became cliffs at Bristol and mountains in Yorkshire? |
1697 | But how do they turn Coprolites into manure? |
1697 | But how do you know that they lie on the limestone? |
1697 | But how does he know that it was once joined to the cliff? |
1697 | But how does he know that the land sank? |
1697 | But how does it make the hop lands so rich? |
1697 | But how does that make them strong? |
1697 | But how does the coral ever rise above the surface of the water and turn into hard stone? |
1697 | But how is it that Analysis and Synthesis can not take all this chalk to pieces, and put it together again? |
1697 | But how is the swallow- hole sure to end in a cave? |
1697 | But how north- eastward? |
1697 | But how was that done? |
1697 | But if it is wild here, and will grow so well in England, why do we not find it wild in England too? |
1697 | But is he not very rare? |
1697 | But is it not a wonderful tale? |
1697 | But is it not cruel of Madam How to make such floods? |
1697 | But is it not silly to fancy that swallows sleep all the winter at the bottom of the pond? |
1697 | But is it not strange and wonderful? |
1697 | But is it not wonderful? |
1697 | But is it? |
1697 | But is not that cruel? |
1697 | But is not the sorrel itself red, and the oxeyes white? |
1697 | But is not this prettier than a tunnel? |
1697 | But may I not compete for prizes against the other boys? |
1697 | But now, I see, you want to ask a question; and what is it? |
1697 | But now, ask him, What is carbon? |
1697 | But now-- If there was not dry land between Africa and South America, how did the cats get into America? |
1697 | But out of what does he make them up? |
1697 | But she is storing up the wax under her stomach, and bee- bread in her thighs-- for whom? |
1697 | But surely I may try to be better and wiser and more learned than everybody else? |
1697 | But the noise, like a giant''s cough? |
1697 | But then, how was this land of Atlantis joined to the Cape of Good Hope? |
1697 | But there are no caves in chalk? |
1697 | But there would be no harm in his trying? |
1697 | But they have no stalks? |
1697 | But think-- are not chalk- carts very odd and curious things? |
1697 | But this is plain: the place in the world where the most beautiful heaths grow is the Cape of Good Hope? |
1697 | But to what animal do the bones belong? |
1697 | But was she not silly? |
1697 | But what are Coprolites? |
1697 | But what are these curious sea- creatures called, which are animals, yet grow like plants? |
1697 | But what are you staring at now, with all your eyes? |
1697 | But what did you hear him say? |
1697 | But what did you want to know? |
1697 | But what do you know? |
1697 | But what do you want to ask him next? |
1697 | But what does St. Paul say? |
1697 | But what does she say? |
1697 | But what gives the craters this cup- shape at first? |
1697 | But what good will he do by putting chalk on it? |
1697 | But what happens to all the delicate little corals if a storm comes on? |
1697 | But what has all this to do with my fairy tale? |
1697 | But what has that to do with it? |
1697 | But what is carbon? |
1697 | But what is carbonate of lime made of? |
1697 | But what is the tide? |
1697 | But what is this high bit with E against it? |
1697 | But what kind of fish is he? |
1697 | But what made that great valley? |
1697 | But what makes them look and feel so different? |
1697 | But what of that? |
1697 | But what rock are we on now? |
1697 | But what shall we talk about? |
1697 | But what was going on in the meantime? |
1697 | But what was it he said about that cliff over there? |
1697 | But what was it? |
1697 | But where did the Mediterranean Sea run out then? |
1697 | But where is the horse? |
1697 | But who found out all this about the Coprolites? |
1697 | But who makes truth? |
1697 | But why do people dig them? |
1697 | But why do you think so? |
1697 | But why does Lady Why like to see us play? |
1697 | But why does he make that tremendous noise only once, and then go under water again? |
1697 | But why have not all animals found out that? |
1697 | But why is it not a tail? |
1697 | But why is it that Madam How will not tell people beforehand what will happen to them, as you have told me? |
1697 | But why is it that this spurge, and St. Patrick''s cabbage, grow only here in the west? |
1697 | But why is that? |
1697 | But why is the sandstone two worlds newer than the limestone? |
1697 | But why may I not go? |
1697 | But why should the lower rocks be older and the upper rocks newer? |
1697 | But why should there be so many kinds of living things? |
1697 | But why were they put there? |
1697 | But why will she be kind enough to do that for me? |
1697 | But why? |
1697 | But why? |
1697 | But will they be wet and cold? |
1697 | But would you not like to go? |
1697 | But you ask, How ought they to have known that an earthquake would come? |
1697 | But you do not seem satisfied yet? |
1697 | But you look thoughtful: what is it you want to know? |
1697 | But you said that the coal was made from plants and trees, and did plants and trees grow on this coral- reef? |
1697 | But you will ask,"If that is not the reason why fire burns, what is?" |
1697 | CHAPTER I-- THE GLEN You find it dull walking up here upon Hartford Bridge Flat this sad November day? |
1697 | CHAPTER II-- EARTHQUAKES So? |
1697 | CHAPTER IV-- THE TRANSFORMATIONS OF A GRAIN OF SOIL Why, you ask, are there such terrible things as volcanos? |
1697 | CHAPTER VII-- THE CHALK- CARTS What do you want to know about next? |
1697 | CHAPTER VIII-- MADAM HOW''S TWO GRANDSONS You want to know, then, what chalk is? |
1697 | CHAPTER X-- FIELD AND WILD Where were we to go next? |
1697 | CHAPTER XII-- HOMEWARD BOUND Come: I suppose you consider yourself quite a good sailor by now? |
1697 | Ca n''t you tell? |
1697 | Cats? |
1697 | Could they move or beat each other with their boughs? |
1697 | Did it come from any place near here? |
1697 | Did you never watch the pigs feeding? |
1697 | Do I mean that there were ever glaciers here? |
1697 | Do I mean their shape? |
1697 | Do n''t you remember M.''s letter about the one he saw at Rio Janeiro? |
1697 | Do n''t you remember that I told you that once before? |
1697 | Do you not understand me? |
1697 | Do you recollect what I told you of Madam How''s hand, more flexible than any hand of man, and yet strong enough to grind the mountains into paste? |
1697 | Do you see any change in the country? |
1697 | Do you see far away, under, the mountains, little islands, long and low? |
1697 | Do you see the red sand in that field? |
1697 | Do you think that there can be too much wisdom in the world? |
1697 | Do you think you can take all that away without putting anything in its place? |
1697 | Do you understand that? |
1697 | Do you understand? |
1697 | Does Analysis say that a diamond and charcoal are the same thing? |
1697 | Does a volcano make earthquakes? |
1697 | Does he then? |
1697 | Fields and hedges, hedges and fields? |
1697 | Flowers and woods and a lawn; and what is that great smooth patch in the lawn just under the window? |
1697 | For ever and ever? |
1697 | For herself? |
1697 | For what happened to that same Mount Vesuvius nearly 1800 years ago, in the old Roman times? |
1697 | For what is written of her whom, as in a parable, I have called Lady Why? |
1697 | For whom is that bee working? |
1697 | Guess why? |
1697 | Gunpowder? |
1697 | Have you done wrong in asking me? |
1697 | Have you only just found out that? |
1697 | How big is he? |
1697 | How can an island be made in the shape of a ring? |
1697 | How can he, when he has to take the life out of them first? |
1697 | How can that be? |
1697 | How can you know that? |
1697 | How can you tell that? |
1697 | How could she do that? |
1697 | How did he get that quantity of half- wit, that sort of stupid cunning, into his little brain, and yet get no more? |
1697 | How did it get to London from hence? |
1697 | How do I know all that? |
1697 | How do their roots get into the stone? |
1697 | How do they do that? |
1697 | How do you know that? |
1697 | How do you think we shall get out from among them? |
1697 | How does he know that we might hurt him? |
1697 | How does that come to pass? |
1697 | How indeed? |
1697 | How many do you think there are? |
1697 | How many inches are there in 1300 feet? |
1697 | How many kinds? |
1697 | How many sorts of heath have we at home? |
1697 | How many? |
1697 | How the hay- field was made? |
1697 | How? |
1697 | How? |
1697 | How? |
1697 | How? |
1697 | How? |
1697 | How? |
1697 | I know: but what are all the birds doing? |
1697 | I suppose you mean what chalk is made of? |
1697 | If I ask you,"Why did we go out to- day?" |
1697 | If I ask you,"Why does fire burn you?" |
1697 | If I took all the butter out of the churn, what must I do if I want more butter still? |
1697 | If they got here of themselves, where did they come from? |
1697 | If you asked Madam How, do you know what she would answer in a moment, as civilly and kindly as could be? |
1697 | In the yacht? |
1697 | Into the sea? |
1697 | Is he talking Irish? |
1697 | Is it a lake? |
1697 | Is it a petrified plant or flower? |
1697 | Is it an empty flower- bed? |
1697 | Is it because the trees inside have been felled? |
1697 | Is it so? |
1697 | Is that true? |
1697 | Is that why the place is called Bath? |
1697 | Is there a tunnel as there is at Box and at Micheldever? |
1697 | Is there a waterfall there? |
1697 | Is there any difference in the soil inside and out? |
1697 | Is there anything more you want to know? |
1697 | Is there potash and magnesia and silicates in the soil here? |
1697 | Is this the Vale of White Horse? |
1697 | Is whalebone hair? |
1697 | It had never harmed any one, and how could it harm them? |
1697 | Look here; what is that in the chalk? |
1697 | Making me? |
1697 | Meanwhile, did you ever see the lid of a kettle rise up and shake when the water inside boiled? |
1697 | Must it not? |
1697 | My dearest child, why try for that? |
1697 | My finger made of living things? |
1697 | No one to see them, my child? |
1697 | No: but how did he do it? |
1697 | Not as wise as Sweep? |
1697 | Not eat it? |
1697 | Not get over? |
1697 | Not red? |
1697 | Not sorry to go home? |
1697 | Now comes the question-- Whence did these flints and bones come? |
1697 | Now shall I, because I am your Daddy, tell you what Madam How would not have told you? |
1697 | Now to make that 3000 feet of hard rock, what must have happened? |
1697 | Now what could have done that? |
1697 | Now where does that sand and mud come from? |
1697 | Now, as ling can neither swim nor fly, does not common sense tell you that all those countries were probably joined together in old times? |
1697 | Now, how did ice do this? |
1697 | Now, how is that wave made? |
1697 | Now, how was that difference made? |
1697 | Now, if we and all human beings were to leave this pasture for a few hundred years, would not those alders increase into a wood? |
1697 | Of real ghosts? |
1697 | Of what use can they be? |
1697 | Off the mountains? |
1697 | Only some chalk- carts? |
1697 | Only the gnats and flies? |
1697 | Or is there lava in me? |
1697 | Perhaps it was there always, from the beginning of the world? |
1697 | Shall we go over their tops? |
1697 | So far, so good: but how is he to get the meat out? |
1697 | Surely she might have known better? |
1697 | That is the answer to"How did we go out?" |
1697 | That is the coal, a few miles off, marked C. And what is this D, which comes next? |
1697 | That? |
1697 | The White Horse Hill? |
1697 | The boys at the village school say that slowworms are poisonous; is not that silly? |
1697 | The ones with thin bills? |
1697 | The sea? |
1697 | Then Madam How would let me go in the yacht? |
1697 | Then am I not to go? |
1697 | Then do you think me silly for fancying that a fossil star- fish was a flower? |
1697 | Then there are such things alive now? |
1697 | Then there is a crack which we can get through? |
1697 | Then were there many coral- reefs in Britain in old times? |
1697 | Then why do they go out? |
1697 | Then why do they not grow? |
1697 | There was no harm in that? |
1697 | They know that bats and dormice and other things sleep all the winter; so why should not swallows sleep? |
1697 | They must have come from some land near where the Azores are now; or how could heaths have got past Africa, and the tropics, to the Cape of Good Hope? |
1697 | This is all very funny: but what is the use of knowing so much about things''teeth and hair? |
1697 | This:-- Suppose that these people, after all, had been fairies? |
1697 | Those great rusty rings fixed into the rock? |
1697 | Three or four? |
1697 | Tons on tons of white mud are being carried down past us now; and where will they go? |
1697 | Use horseflesh? |
1697 | Was it all true that the farmer said? |
1697 | Was it not always a hay- field? |
1697 | Was that before the heaths came here, or after? |
1697 | Water? |
1697 | Well then, do rich grasses come up on them, now that they are broken up? |
1697 | Well, and what do you think about it now? |
1697 | Well, old friend, and how are you? |
1697 | Well, we will talk about that in good time: but now-- What is that coming down the hill? |
1697 | Well-- how was the glen made? |
1697 | Were not these creatures enjoying themselves each after their kind? |
1697 | Were there any men in the world while all this was going on? |
1697 | What are they? |
1697 | What are those great green things standing up in the sky, all over purple ribs and bars, with their tops hid in the clouds? |
1697 | What are those high hills, far away to the left, above the lowlands and woods? |
1697 | What can have made them so steep? |
1697 | What can that have to do with it? |
1697 | What colour are they at night, when the sun is gone? |
1697 | What do you mean? |
1697 | What do you mean? |
1697 | What do you mean? |
1697 | What do you mean? |
1697 | What do you mean? |
1697 | What do you mean? |
1697 | What do you think makes it so yellow and muddy? |
1697 | What does he mean? |
1697 | What does the grass grow in? |
1697 | What else can it be? |
1697 | What has that to do with it? |
1697 | What is a metal? |
1697 | What is her name? |
1697 | What is here? |
1697 | What is it like? |
1697 | What is it that you want to know? |
1697 | What is it, though? |
1697 | What is it? |
1697 | What is it? |
1697 | What is it? |
1697 | What is it? |
1697 | What is that humming all round us, now that the noisy mowing- machine has stopped? |
1697 | What is that turning over in the water, like a great black wheel? |
1697 | What is that? |
1697 | What is the use of learning Latin and Greek, and a dozen things more which you have to learn? |
1697 | What is there curious in them? |
1697 | What killed them? |
1697 | What makes it so hard? |
1697 | What must be left but a ring of coral reef, around the spot where the last mountain peak of the island sank beneath the sea?" |
1697 | What reason could she have to believe the Ammonite was a shell? |
1697 | What reason either could she have to guess that Whitby cliff had once been coral- mud, at the bottom of the sea? |
1697 | What sign of fire was there in that? |
1697 | What sorts? |
1697 | What then do you think he does? |
1697 | What will that hay turn into by Christmas? |
1697 | What, all the way to England? |
1697 | What, indeed? |
1697 | What, that long bank of stones, with a house on it? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | What? |
1697 | When you cut your finger, does not the place heal? |
1697 | Where are we now? |
1697 | Where have we got to now? |
1697 | Where is he gone? |
1697 | Where is that? |
1697 | Where is the wide Severn Sea? |
1697 | Where would it come from? |
1697 | Which do you mean? |
1697 | Whither will the water go,--hundreds of gallons of it perhaps,--which has dripped and run through the heather in this single day? |
1697 | Who can tell that? |
1697 | Who can tell? |
1697 | Who makes facts? |
1697 | Who taught him to be generous, and dutiful, and faithful? |
1697 | Who told you that? |
1697 | Who was that coughed just behind the ship? |
1697 | Who, but God? |
