  tail 
  to 
  fan 
  himself 
  and 
  to 
  keep 
  off 
  the 
  flies. 
  

   But 
  between 
  these 
  rudiments 
  of 
  intellectual 
  

   perception 
  and 
  the 
  next 
  step 
  — 
  that 
  of 
  

   adapting 
  and 
  fashioning 
  an 
  instrument 
  for 
  a 
  

   particular 
  purpose, 
  — 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  gulf 
  in 
  which 
  

   lies 
  the 
  whole 
  immeasurable 
  distance 
  between 
  

   Man 
  and 
  the 
  brutes. 
  In 
  no 
  case 
  whatever 
  

   do 
  they 
  ever 
  use 
  an 
  implement 
  made 
  by 
  

   themselves 
  as 
  an 
  intermediate 
  agency 
  between 
  

   their 
  bodily 
  organs 
  and 
  the 
  work 
  which 
  they 
  

   desire 
  to 
  do. 
  Man, 
  on 
  the 
  contrary, 
  is 
  so 
  

   constructed 
  that 
  in 
  almost 
  everything 
  he 
  

   desires 
  to 
  do 
  he 
  must 
  employ 
  an 
  agency 
  

   intermediate 
  between 
  his 
  bodily 
  organs 
  and 
  

   the 
  effect 
  which 
  he 
  wishes 
  to 
  produce. 
  But 
  

   this 
  necessity, 
  which 
  in 
  one 
  aspect 
  is 
  a 
  

   physical 
  disability, 
  is 
  correlated 
  with 
  a 
  mind
