"The Antiquity of Man"
Charles Lyell

"Louis Agassiz: His Life and Correspondence"
Louis Agassiz
Walk with me to the Battery, And see in glassy tanks the seals, The sturgeons, flounders, smelt and eels Disport themselves in Ichthyic curves- And when it gets upon our nerves Then, while our wabbling taxi honks I'll tell you all about the Bronx, Where captive wild things mope and stare Through grills of steel that bar each lair Doomed to imprisonment for life- And you may go and take your wife.
"Police!!!"
Robert W. Chambers
