bination for mutual assistance and information, an advantage due al- 

 most, if not quite, exclusively to the faculty of speech. A bachelor 

 ape, driven away from his family and community, will live alone for 

 years with no other weapons than stones and clubs. Deprive a man of 

 all knowledge of the appliances and inventions made by his fellows, and

 ape, probably not so well. But by reason of 

 the faculty of speech, the brain of every man 

 is stored with the knowledge of the doings 

 and discoveries of his fellows, near and far 

 away, of the present time and of times long since passed away. The 

 brain of an average educated man in civilized life, is reinforced by a 

 hundred, a thousand or a million others. And what his brain cannot 

 hold of the memories of the discoveries of the others, he can pack away 

 in a library convenient and accessible whenever wanted. The aggregate
