... titles that we see applied to a single star or group, and the duplicate titles for some that are widely separated in the sky, apparently came from the various tribes, each of which had to a certain extent a nomenclature of its own. The rest of our star-names, with but few exceptions, are directly from Greek or Latin originals, - - many of these, as is the case with the Arabian, although now regarded as personal, being at first only adjectival or merely descriptive of the star's position in the constellation figure; while some are the result of misunderstanding, or of errors in translation and oft repeated transcription. But these are now too firmly established ...
... framework of current opinion have not been given serious consideration. Actually, there is nothing at all incredible in recognizing the possibility of mass scholarship making fundamental errors of such magnitude. The past history of scientific development is replete with examples of the failure of a near total scholarship to recognize error or to perceive truth. The concept of the germ origin of disease, now universally accepted, was hotly contested and debated at length before its general acceptance, because it represented a wide deviation from popular opinion.

... of the modern changes of the earth and its inhabitants, as set forth in the present work, but also some account of those monuments of analogous changes of ancient date, both in the organic and inorganic world, which it is the business of the geologist to interpret. The subject last mentioned, or " geology proper," constituted originally a fourth book, now omitted, the same having been enlarged into a separate treatise, first published in 1838, in one volume 12mo., and called " The Elements of Geology," afterwards recast in two volumes 12mo. in 1842, and again re-edited under the title of "Manual of Elementary Geology," in one ...
... , The Warfare of Science with Theology, 1955 reprint. Y-AC Young, R., Analytical Concordance. FOREWORD This work is not the result of an overnight dream. It is rather the result of fifteen years of investigation into the problems, the aims, and the premises of the discipline known as Biblical archaeology. The study had its origin when certain statements of the Biblical archaeologists were pointed out which appeared to contradict the clear statements of Scripture. This source had long been regarded by the author as historically reliable. In the course of investigations into the bases for these apparent contradictions, the reports of Miss Kenyon's work at Jericho began to appear. These reports indicated a necessary ...
... Ocosingo, Mexico. Preface I HAVE been for some years engaged upon a work of comprehensive design, in which I propose to bring together, under a single view, all such leading and well authenticated facts as may be accessible, relating to the aboriginal monuments of the American continent, which shall serve to illustrate not only their character and origin, but also the ancient and as yet unwritten history of the New World, and the relation which its aboriginal inhabitants sustained to the great primitive families of the other Continent. A work of this scope and magnitude, it can readily be understood by every one at all acquainted with the subject, must require many years to its completion ...
