Often i have visited the new york museum of natural history to touch with my hands many of the objects there exhibited , but i have longed to see with my eyes the condensed history of the earth and its inhabitants displayed there ? animals and the race of men pictured in their native environment , gigantic carcasses of dinosaurs and mastodons which roamed the earth long before man appeared , with his tiny stature and powerful brain , to conquer the animal kingdom , realistic presentations of the processes of evolution in animals , in man , and in the implements which man has used to fashion for himself a secure home on this planet , and a thousand and one other aspects of natural history 我经常到纽约自然历史博物馆去，用双手无数次地抚摸过那里陈列的展品，我多么渴望能用自己的眼睛看一看这浓缩的地球的历史，以及陈列在那里的地球上的居民? ?各种动物和以他们生活的天然环境为背景描绘的不同肤色的人种；以及早在人类出现以前就漫游在地球上的恐龙和柱牙象的巨大骨架，当时的人类靠自己矮小的身躯和发达的大脑征服了动物的王国；还有表现动物和人类进化过程的逼真画面，和人类用来为自己在这个星球上建造安全居处的工具，以及另外许许多多自然历史的其他方面的事物。

Amongst us a simpleton , possessed by the demon of hate or cupidity , who has an enemy to destroy , or some near relation to dispose of , goes straight to the grocer s or druggist s , gives a false name , which leads more easily to his detection than his real one , and under the pretext that the rats prevent him from sleeping , purchases five or six grammes of arsenic - if he is really a cunning fellow , he goes to five or six different druggists or grocers , and thereby becomes only five or six times more easily traced ; - then , when he has acquired his specific , he administers duly to his enemy , or near kinsman , a dose of arsenic which would make a mammoth or mastodon burst , and which , without rhyme or reason , makes his victim utter groans which alarm the entire neighborhood 在我们的人社会里，一个傻瓜要是心里怀有仇恨或动了贪念，想除掉一个仇人或除去一个近亲，他就会径自跑到杂货店或药房里，借口老鼠吵得他无法睡觉，要买五六克砒霜，他还会捏造一个假名字，而那却比真名字更容易被识破，假如他真是一个狡猾的家伙，他就会分别到五六家不同的药房或杂货店里去买，因此，当追踪线索的时候，就更容易了五六倍。然后，当他弄到他想要的东西以后，他就莽莽撞撞地给他的仇人或近亲吃一付砒霜，其份量之重，就是古代的巨象或恐吃了也会五脏崩裂的，就这样毫无意义地使他的受害者在那里呻吟，以致惊动了四邻。
