This is a list of all the questions and their associated study carrel identifiers. One can learn a lot of the "aboutness" of a text simply by reading the questions.

|---|---|
| 2010 | How much time have I lost by illness?" |
| 2010 | I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything? |
| 2010 | Mr. Leighton goes on,"This greatly roused my attention and curiosity, and I enquired of him repeatedly how this could be done?" |
| 2924 | What will come of a variation when you breed from it, when Atavism comes, if I may say so, to intersect variation? |
| 2922 | But to how much has man really access? |
| 2922 | But what does this attempt to construct a universal history of the globe imply? |
| 2922 | How, then, is mud formed? |
| 2922 | If you find any record of changes taking place at''b'', did they occur before any events which took place while''a''was being deposited? |
| 2922 | Is this sound reasoning? |
| 2922 | Now, how many of those are absolutely extinct? |
| 2922 | Now, what is the effect of this oscillation? |
| 2922 | That is to say, how many of these orders of animals have lived at a former period of the world''s history, but have at present no representatives? |
| 2921 | But can we go no further than that? |
| 2921 | But where does the grass, or the oat, or any other plant, obtain this nourishing food- producing material? |
| 2921 | Is there among the plants the same primitive form of organization, and is that identical with that of the animal kingdom? |
| 2921 | What is he doing? |
| 2923 | And the second is: How has it been perpetuated? |
| 2923 | But what more have we to guide us in nine- tenths of the most important affairs of daily life than hypotheses, and often very ill- based ones? |
| 2923 | How do you know that the laws of Nature are not suspended during the night? |
| 2923 | How do you know that the man who really made the marks took the spoons? |
| 2923 | The first is: How has organic or living matter commenced its existence? |
| 2923 | What are those inductions and deductions, and how have you got at this hypothesis? |
| 2923 | Your friend says to you,"But how do you know that?" |
| 2923 | said his opponents;"but what do you know you may be doing when you heat the air over the water in this way? |
| 2089 | Are these new species created by the production, at long intervals, of an offspring different in species from the parents? |
| 2089 | Are they gradually evolved from some embryo substance? |
| 2089 | But probably the best answer to those who talk of Darwinism meaning the reign of"chance,"is to ask them what they themselves understand by"chance"? |
| 2089 | Do they believe that anything in this universe happens without reason or without a cause? |
| 2089 | Or are the species so created produced without parents? |
| 2089 | Or do they suddenly start from the ground, as in the creation of the poet?... |
| 2930 | And, after all, is it quite so certain that a genetic relation may not underlie the classification of minerals? |
| 2930 | But is the analogy a real one? |
| 2930 | Did M. Flourens ever visit one of the prettiest watering- places of"la belle France,"the Baie d''Arcachon? |
| 2930 | For what are the phenomena of Agamogenesis, stated generally? |
| 2930 | How then is the production of new species to be rendered intelligible by the analogy of Agamogenesis? |
| 2930 | O solidite de l''esprit Francais, que devenez- vous?" |
| 2930 | O solidite de l''esprit Francais, que devenez- vous?" |
| 2930 | What are these"dunes"? |
| 2925 | Are natural causes competent to play the part of selection in perpetuating varieties? |
| 2925 | But is the like true of the physiological characteristics of animals? |
| 2925 | But the question now is:--Does selection take place in nature? |
| 2925 | Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock? |
| 2925 | Do the physiological differences of varieties amount in degree to those observed between forms which naturalists call distinct species? |
| 2925 | Now, the next problem that lies before us-- and it is an extremely important one-- is this: Does this selective breeding occur in nature? |
| 2925 | Now, what is the result of all this? |
| 2925 | The first question of course is, Do they thus return to the primitive stock? |
| 2925 | What will be the result, then? |
| 2925 | What, then, takes place? |
| 2925 | is there anything like the operation of man in exercising selective breeding, taking place in nature? |
| 2926 | But has this been done? |
| 2926 | But in the next place comes a much more difficult inquiry:--Are the causes indicated competent to give rise to the phenomena of organic nature? |
| 2926 | But what proportion is there between the structural alteration and the functional result? |
| 2926 | In the first place, do these supposed causes of the phenomena exist in nature? |
| 2926 | So what is the use of what you have done?" |
| 2926 | What is Mr. Darwin''s hypothesis? |
| 2926 | What is it that constitutes and makes man what he is? |
| 2926 | What is this very speech that we are talking about? |
| 2926 | What meaning has this fact upon any other hypothesis or supposition than one of successive modification? |
| 2926 | or what is really the state of the case? |
| 2929 | But suppose we prefer to admit our ignorance rather than adopt a hypothesis at variance with all the teachings of Nature? |
| 2929 | Is it any more than a grandiloquent way of announcing the fact, that we really know nothing about the matter? |
| 2929 | Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection? |
| 2929 | Is there any test of a physiological species? |
| 2929 | Or, suppose for a moment we admit the explanation, and then seriously ask ourselves how much the wiser are we; what does the explanation explain? |
| 2929 | Shall Biology alone remain out of harmony with her sister sciences? |
| 2929 | What if species should offer residual phenomena, here and there, not explicable by natural selection? |
| 2929 | What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular? |
| 2929 | that none of the phenomena exhibited by species are inconsistent with the origin of species in this way? |
| 2929 | that there is such a thing as natural selection? |
