  with 
  his 
  Origin 
  or

   Primitive 
  Condition. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  another 
  point 
  connected 
  with 
  this 
  

   division 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  subject 
  into 
  three 
  sepa- 
  

   rate 
  questions, 
  which 
  has 
  not 
  perhaps 
  been 
  

   sufficiently 
  considered, 
  and 
  that 
  is 
  the 
  different 
  

   degrees 
  of 
  connection 
  which 
  these 
  questions 
  

   have 
  respectively, 
  with 
  the 
  Mosaic 
  narrative. 
  

   I 
  have 
  already 
  said 
  that 
  the 
  inquiry 
  as 
  con- 
  

   ducted 
  both 
  by 
  Archbishop 
  Whately 
  and 
  Sir 
  

   J. 
  Lubbock 
  is 
  avowedly 
  conducted 
  on 
  a 
  purely 
  

   scientific 
  basis. 
  It 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  light 
  that 
  

   it 
  will 
  be 
  considered 
  here. 
  But 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   useful 
  to 
  observe 
  in 
  passing, 
  that 
  in 
  regard 
  to 
  

   some 
  of 
  these 
  questions 
  the 
  Mosaic 
  account 
  of 
  

   Creation 
  (apart 
  altogether 
  from 
  any 
  suggestions 
  

   which 
  have 
  been 
  raised 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  allegorical
