Page 22 - God is great. I bear witness that there is no God but God. I bear witness that there is no God but God.
Page 317 - Keindeer caves of the Dordogne and other parts of France and Switzerland were inhabited by a race of hunters, who have bequeathed to us a collection of drawings which form the most remarkable art-gallery in the world. It contains some 300 specimens of carvings in ivory, illustrating with singular fidelity, as well as artistic skill, the social life of the period ; more especially the animals and scenes with which these hunters were familiar. Among the animals portrayed are man, mammoth, reindeer,...
Page 148 - ... (Fig. 44). This type seems to have been developed from the former by merely converting the coiled wire into a solid plate. In support of this view it has been pointed out that the prevailing ornamentation — viz., concentric circles — is merely a survival of the spirals in the earlier form. The example illustrated by figure 44 has six lobes of uniform size ; but this is exceptional, as Fig. 40...
Page 308 - ... state of things have an extremely important bearing on the question under discussion. In the first place, an insular climate must be substituted for the present extremely continental climate of west central Eurasia. That is an important fact in many ways. For example the present eastern climatal limitations of the beech could not have existed, and if primitive Aryan goes back thus far, the arguments based upon the occurrence of its name in some Aryan languages and not in others lose their force....
Page 236 - To the other it will seem the new birth of that rational and unconventional mode of building in which the restless and eager spirit of the regenerated and repeopled Roman world has found free scope for its fancy and invention ; which places fitness before abstract beauty, delights to find harmony in variety, and recognises grace in more than one code of proportions. Both will be right; the palace of Spalato marks the era when the old art died in giving birth to the new.1 Nor was this palatial residence...
Page 301 - Roman tribunes had observed, bent after each blow delivered on to a sufficiently resistent body. Such a body they sought and found in the pilum —that best of pikes or bayonets, with which a man could parry or thrust, but with which he could not strike or slash. The brave barbarian came...

In the second place, the European and the Asiatic moieties of the great Eurasiatic plains were cut off from one another by the Ponto-Aralian Mediterranean and its prolongations. In the third place, direct access to Asia Minor, to the Caucasus, to the Persian highlands, and to Afghanistan, from the European moiety was completely barred ; while the tribes of eastern central Asia were equally shut out from Persia and from India by huge mountain ranges an<J table lands.
Page 308 - Ural, and the other affluent rivers — while it seems to have sent its overflow northward through the present basin of the Obi. At the same time, there is reason to believe that the northern coast of Asia, which everywhere shows signs of recent slow upheaval, was situated far to the south of its present position. The consequences of this state of things have an extremely important bearing on the question under discussion. In the first place, an insular climate must be substituted for the present...
Page 255 - It would be difficult to find any one " venerated " at the end of the first or beginning of the second century who did not in some sense share the ordinary Chiliastic expectation of most Christians. But as to how " gross," or how " stupid," his views were we really know nothing.
Page 258 - Constantine destroyed the pictures and images of to some accounts, he lived to receive yet deeper wounds in his dearest relations. It is certain that the daughter of the abdicated Emperor, herself the wife of his successor, that Valeria in whose honour a province had been named,* was persecuted and put to death by the malice in turn of Maximin and of Licinius.
