The Manatitlans: or, A record of recent scientific explorations in the Andean La Plata, S. A.
Smile, R. Elton
Science fiction, American
At the conclusion of Titview’s letter, the Dosch stated that the initial
voyagers of the second falcon era found the colonists of Constantinople
and Jerusalem in a still more prosperous condition than those of Rome,
and equally rejoiced in the fulfillment of expectant waiting. But as
they presented the same characteristic features of dogmatic rule, with
caste variations, having their origin in the degree of control exercised
by individuals over their own habits, for the control of the masses, the
opposition to colonistic example was in the main the same. “Now, in
company of Mr. Welson, I will leave you to meditate upon the examples I
have adduced of Giga and Animalculan humanity under the rule of
instinctive habits and customs engendered from the unreason of the
stomach in its control of the brain, until your letters arrive from the
other side of the precedental gulph to strengthen the contrast between
your past and present thoughts. In the meantime you can study, with our
auramental aid, the habits of professional instinct cultivated by the
adjunct members of the corps, in adverse defiance of Heraclean example
and our thought substitutions. Although formalistically influenced to
habits of outward conformity, neither Dr. Baāhar or the curators of
sound, and artist, have changed in thought from precedental routine; and
in their present mood, would relate the events which have transpired as
surface matters of fact, for publication, or scientific gossip, and the
excitement of wonder and surprise in the gaping multitude who throng
with open ears lyceums and public lecture rooms, for drum impressions.
Your college and scientific professors can be truthfully likened to your
railroad locomotives, which swiftly progress forwards and backwards on
their rails, but once off their tracks are helpless, from their own
resources, to move themselves or their trains. But with the stage
gradations of instinct now open to your view, you can readily discover
and test the animus source of present happiness with the realities of
its impression as an assurance of immortality.”
