 Bones were the remains of a giant. Many 

 called them extraneous fossils ; others re- 

 garded them as mineral substances; some 

 said the animal was carnivorous ; others 

 as strenuously asserted it to be herbivo- 

 rous, graminivorous, or mixed. At length 

 wearied by the contest, mankind associ- 

 ated in one idea; — the bones were called 

 " mammoth bones,'' without any respect to 

 the difference in their character, and the 

 contrasted sensibilites which such differ- 

 ence generates and inspires. But from 

 the evidence of the extraordinary bon^s 

 now collected, and presen'ed for public in- 

 spection in the Liverpool Museum, it is clear- 

 ly demonstrated, that they are the remains 

 of various stupendous incognita, or non- 

 descript animals, of perfectly different 

 propensities, dispositions, and manners 

 of life.
