MAN AND APES. 



PART I. 



The too frequent injustice of popular awards 

 is a trite subject of remark. Christopher 

 Columbus, with a hardihood now somewhat 

 difficult to realise, sailed across an utterly 

 unknown ocean to the discovery of a New 

 World, which nevertheless has not received 

 its appellation from him, but from his imitator, 

 Amerigo Yespucci. 



As with the new geographical region so 

 with the new force "galvanism." It received 

 its name from Galvani, who called attention 

 to it in 1789 ; but Swammerdamm had none 

 the less discovered it more than a hundred 

 and thirty years earlier.
