On the Determination of the Distance of a Comet from the Earth
A Biographical History of Philosophy
The philosopher and critic George Henry Lewes (1817–78) published this work in two volumes in 1845–6. This is a reissue of an 1892 printing, which brought the volumes into one book. Lewes wrote widely on literature, science and philosophy, and was also the long-term intimate companion of George Eliot. This book is a narrative history, rather than an encyclopedia, of key philosophers. It is, therefore, a partial and personal study instead of an ex…

SIR JOHN LUBBOCoK.-Onthe -Development illustrating the ideas on the subject of relationships which prevail among different races of men.Our own system of relationships naturally follows from the marriage of single pairs; and it is, in its general nomenclature, so mere a description of the actual facts, that most persons tacitly regard it as necessarily general to the human race, with, of course, verbal and unimnportant differences in detail.Hence…

VI.— Notes on the Hut-Urns and other objects discovered in an ancient Cemetery in the Commune of Marino (Province of Rome)
Although every object of antiquity possesses a certain interest for the archaeologist, still that interest is much increased when a number are found together, and under circumstances which imply that they were contemporaneous. A “find” of special interest was made in the year 1817 at Albano, and described in a letter from Dr. A. Visconti to Signor G. Carnevali di Albano. Since however this letter does not give a complete description of the antiqu…

Pre-historic times
At first I only contemplated reprinting the papers as they stood, but having, at the request of the managers, delivered at the Eoyal Institution a short course of lectures on the Antiquity of Man, it was thought desirable to introduce the substance of these, so as to give the work a more complete character.
