Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The European Population of the United States: The Huxley Memorial Lecture for 1908 Irish potato famine of the middle of the last century. The rapid increase year by year is shown by the accompanying diagram. It has taken the form, not of a steady growth but of an intermittent flow. First came the people of the British Isles after the downfall of Napoleon, from in 1815 to in 1819. Thereafter the numbers are about yearly until the Irish famine, when immigrants from the British Isles landed in 1852. To the English succeeded the Germans, largely moved at first by the political events of 1848. By 1854, Teutons, mainly from northern Germany, had settled in America. So many were there, that ambitious plans for the foundation of a German state in the new country were actually set on foot. \the later German immigrants were recruited largely from the Rhine Provinces and have settled further to the north-west in Wisconsin and Iowa; the earliest wave having come from northern Germany to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouril The Swedes began to come after the Civil War. Their immigration culminated in 1882 with the in ux of about in that year. More recent still are the Italians, beginning with a modest in 1876, rising to over arrivals in 1888 and constituting an army of in the single year of 1907; and accompanying the Italian, has come the great horde of Slavs, Huns and Jews. Wave has followed wave, each higher than the last; the ebb and ow being dependent upon economic conditions in large measure. It is the last great wave shown by our diagram which has most alarmed us in America. This gathered force on the revival of prosperity about 1897 but it did not assume full measure until 1900. Since that year, over people have landed on our shores, one quarter of all the total immigration since the beginning. The new comers of these eight years alone would repopulate all the five older New England states as they stand to-dav; or if properly disseminated over the newer parts of the country, they would serve to populate no less than 19 states of the Union as they stand. The new comers of the last eight years cduld, if suitably seated, elect 38 out of the present 92 Senators of the United States. Do you wonder that thoughtful political students stand somewhat aghast In the last of these eight years - 1907-there were arrivals; sufficient to entirely populate both New Hampshire and Maine, two of our oldest states with an aggregate territory approxi mately equal to Ireland and Wales. The arrivals of this one year would found a state with more inhabitants than any 21 of our other existing commonwealths. Fortunately, the commercial depression of 1908 has for the moment put a stop to this inflow. Some considerable emigration back to Europe has in fact ensued. But this can be nothing more than a breathing space. On the resumption of prosperity the tide will rise higher than before. Each immigrant, staying or returning, will in uence his friends, his entire village; and so it will be until an economic equilibrium has been finally established between one continent where labour is dearer than land, and the other where land is worth more than labour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metals in Antiquity: The Huxley Memorial Lecture for 1912 Br william gowland, Assoc. Emeritus Professor of Metallurgy at the Royal School of Mines. The only records available to us of man before he became acquainted with metals are written in the remains which have been unearthed from time to time in the caves or sites where he led a precarious existence, in the districts over which he wandered, in the mounds or places in which he was interred, or in the debris of terrestrial denudation, river gravels and the like. The same, too, is true of later man during the early metal ages. But as time rolls on and the ruder arts and usages gradually develop into a civilization approaching, and indeed in some respects equalling, or even excelling that of our own day, the evidence afforded by the remains is supplemented by those records of the past which we find in the clay tablets of Chaldaea and Assyria, the papyri and inscriptions of Egypt and the literature of ancient Greece and Rome. As regards metals, however, the chief and often the only evidence on which reliance can be placed is that derived from the same sour lages, viz., the objects and articles which excavations bring often assumed that before man became acquainted with metals he was a mere savage but little superior to the wild animals of his time, but that this view is entirely erroneous, certainly as regards late neolithic man, is incontestably proved by the evidence presented so clearly to us by the vestiges which have been laid bare of his culture. And mode of life. He was a farmer, kept domestic animals, was acquainted with the arts of weaving, the manufacture of pottery, his dwellings were constructed with considerable skill, and at his death he was buried with ceremonial rites. Such were the men who were the discoverers of metals and the first metallurgists. They were, in fact, men possessing greater intelligence and a higher culture than is usually attributed to them, and if we ourselves were deprived of metals I hardly think that we could surpass them in the exigencies or even the arts of everyday life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Inhabitants of Western Asia: The Huxley Memorial Lecture for 1911 Of course they also have incorporated in themselves various alien elements, and I know Armenians from Southern Persia who look like Biloch or Dravidians - but as a rule the great mass of the Armenians forms not only a religious, but also a somatic unity. Particularly in Northern Syria there are places where Armenians resemble one another like eggs. Religious seclusion and, in many cases, life in remote mountain villages, have both contributed to prevent intermarriage with strangers, and thus we may assume from the beginning that they represent an old type. More frequently than any other group in Western Asia they show the plan occipital form of the profile curve, great brachycephaly with extreme height of the skull and a particularly narrow and high nose.
