Attributed Ad eum modum summus opifex rerum feriem concatenavit a planta ad hominem, ut quasi sine ullo cohæreant intervallo; sic Ζωόφυτα cum plantis bruta conjungunt; sic cum homine simia quadrupedes. Itaque in hominis quoque specie invenimus divinos, humanos, feros. Epigraph to Charles White, An Account of the Regular Gradation in Man, &c.
