	PREHISTORIC MONOTHEISM
		SIR JOHN LUBBOCK, in his Origin of Civilization, lays down certain assertions respecting the religious characteristics of the races of man which are so clearly contrary to the experience and testimony of many trustworthy witnesses, that I shall devote this paper to a refutation of them.
		The general principle of Sir John Lubbock's work seems to be this: to go over the whole of the existing savage races and to infer, from the theology of the savage races which now exist, what was the theology of the earliest races which do not now exist.
		Sir John Lubbock, to have proved anything at all, should have proved that his divisions correspond with the developments and enlargements of the human intellect, but he has not attempted that at all.

	ON CIVILIZATION, MORAL AND MATERIAL
		Sir John Lubbock to some extent seems to feel this, for he next discusses the estimate of female virtue and the ideas of marriage among savages.
		Sir John next glances at arbitrary customs as proving unity of descent, and discusses at length an argument from the universality of certain superstitions connected with sneezing, advanced by the witty Judge Halliburton in the Nova Scotian Institute of Natural Science.
		Sir John Lubbock says it is " the only theory that accounts for the origin of man " ; but man, as well as all other living beings, animal or vegetable, depend upon inanimate things for their subsistence ; and unless our theory can account for the origin of all things it is valueless.

	Origin of Civilization
		Sir John has told us nothing of the mental and social condition of savages that we had not examined, we had almost said,before he was born, and which we had supposed was not known by all men with any pretension to serious studies.
		Paul evidently does not believe Sir John Lubbock’s doctrine that the race began in “utter barbarism,” and have been slowly working their way up to the heights of Christian civilization.
		Whether a tribe sunk in what Sir John calls “utter barbarism,” and which he holds is the original state of the human race, has ever been or ever can be elevated to a civilized state by any human efforts, even of others already civilized, is, perhaps, problematical.

		Sir Hercules Robinsons law was passed with a view to saving this time-honored institution from the deca- dence with which it was threatened by the extension of the police courts, and to relieving the police courts of a mass of frivolous lawsuits of which they had be- come the scene.
		Sir John Lubbock is disposed to believe it because, as lie states, while hundreds, I might say thousands, of workers have been bred in my nests, and a large number of males, not a single queen has been produced in any one of them.
		This may possibly be the case with some species; but Sir John Lub- bock repeatedly tried introducing a new fertile queen into another nest of Lasius favus, and always with the result that the workers became very excited and killed her, even though in one case the nest was without a queen.

		Then, again, there was a sort of special pleading in the argument of Sir John Lubbock's, that if the native Australians were the degraded descendants of a race half-civilised, the European settlers ought also to become degraded.
		Sir,--In your issue of August 28th you do me the honour to notice some remarks which I offered on Sir John Lubbock's paper at the recent meeting of the British Association; but, owing to the imperfect manner in which the proceedings were reported, you have entirely misunderstood what I really said.

		For one thing, Danish daggers have been impressing people for a long time with their beautiful shapes and the skill that was obviously involved to make them.

	Darwin's Descent of Man
		If Sir John’s theory on the origin of civilization is untenable, or if Herbert Spencer’s theory of evolution is evidently false, unproved, and unprovable, Darwin’s theory of the origin of species is an untenable hypothesis, and his theory of the descent of man falls to the ground.
		We proved, in our review of Sir John Lubbock’s theory, that man did not begin and could not have begun in utter barbarism, and that the savage if the degenerate, not the primitive man; for man, when deprived of foreign and supernatural assistance, either deteriorates or remains stationary.
		They are such men as, if we follow the injunction of St. John, the apostle of love, we should refuse to receive into our houses, or even to bid good-day: Si quis venit ad vos, et hanc doctrinam nor affert, nolite recipere eum in domum, nec ave dixeritis.- 2 John, 10.

		It came to an end because, after twelve years of debating, there seemed little to be said which had not already been repeated more than once.
		The character of the subjects brought forward may be gathered from the titles of some of the papers, and as the discussions were absolutely confidential and unreported, they were almost always of much animation and interest.
