  informed, 
  and 
  a 
  creature 
  who 
  *is 
  both 
  igno- 
  

   rant 
  and 
  vicious. 
  Sir 
  J. 
  Lubbock 
  speaks 
  of 
  

   Primeval 
  Man 
  as 
  having 
  been 
  in 
  a 
  condition 
  

   of 
  " 
  utter 
  barbarism." 
  But 
  no 
  one, 
  speaking 
  

   philosophically, 
  has 
  a 
  right 
  to 
  use 
  such 
  terms 
  

   as 
  u 
  barbarism 
  " 
  and 
  " 
  civilization 
  " 
  without 
  

   some 
  definition 
  of 
  their 
  meaning. 
  What 
  were 
  

   those 
  Faculties 
  which 
  made 
  the 
  first 
  creature 
  

   who 
  possessed 
  them 
  " 
  worthy 
  to 
  be 
  called 
  a 
  

   Man?" 
  A 
  Mind 
  capable 
  of 
  reason, 
  disposed 
  

   to 
  reason, 
  and 
  able 
  to 
  acquire, 
  to 
  accumulate, 
  

   and 
  to 
  transmit 
  knowledge, 
  — 
  this 
  is 
  the 
  dis- 
  

   tinctive 
  attribute 
  of 
  Man. 
  The 
  first 
  Being 
  

   "worthy 
  to 
  be 
  so 
  called," 
  must 
  have 
  had 
  such 
  

   a 
  mind. 
  But 
  it 
  could 
  not 
  properly 
  be 
  said 
  of 
  

   such 
  a 
  Being, 
  on 
  the 
  ground 
  merely 
  of 
  his 
  

   ignorance 
  of 
  mechanical 
  arts, 
  that 
  he 
  was 
  in
