Side 159 - Thus whilst freezing cold and gathering gloom proceeded from Niflheim, that part looking towards Muspellheim was filled with glowing radiancy, the intervening space remaining calm and light as wind-still air. And when the heated blast met the gelid vapour it melted into drops, and by the might of him who sent the heat, these drops quickened into life and assumed a human semblance. The being thus formed was named Ymir, but the Frost Giants call him Orgelmir. From him descend the Frost Giants.
Side 40 - Worsaee's most thorough investigations, but must confine myself to a statement of the final result he obtained, namely, that there is no runic inscription whatever on Runamo Rock, and that the marks considered as runes by Finn Magnusen are simply the natural cracks on the decayed surface of a trap dike filling up a rent in a gra.iitic formation.

Of Ymir's eyebrows the gods formed Midgard, (mid earth,) destined to become the abode of man.
Side 131 - Most peculiar was the dressing of the walls of the upper and lower front rooms; both were plastered with a thin layer of some firm cement, of about an eighth of an inch in thickness, and colored a deep maroon-red, with a dingy-white band, eight inches in breadth, running around the floor, sides and ceiling. In some places it had peeled away, exposing a smoothly,dressed surface of rock.
Side 160 - as the sons of Bor were walking along the sea-beach they found two stems of wood, out of which they shaped a man and a woman. The first (Odin) infused into them life and spirit; the second (Vili) endowed them with reason and the power of motion ; the third ( Ve) gave them speech and features, hearing and vision.
Side 11 - ... of an unquestionable spearpoint fig. (3,) associated with them, I am led to conclude that the rude implements found in the gravel were fashioned by man during the glacial period, and were deposited with the associated gravels as we now find them. That the similar surface relics may also be glacial in age, and were dropped from melting ice-rafts during the retirement and destruction of the southern limit of the ice, and finally, that inasmuch as it is probable that this early race was driven southward...
Side 68 - They then commence at the bottom of the jar, or whatever vessel they may be making, and coil the clay rope, layer on layer, until they have the bottom and about three inches of the sides laid up. The tools for smoothing and joining the layers together are a paddle, made out of wood and perfectly smooth, and an oval-shaped polished stone.
Side 231 - Scioto; from thence to its mouth ; from thence, down the Ohio, to the mouth of the Wabash ; and from thence to Chicago, on lake Michigan; at this place, I first saw my elder brothers, the Shawanees.
