CONCLUSION.
It is invariably a relief when one’s task is completed, and more so
when it is self-imposed. Putting our thoughts and opinions upon paper
for others to peruse and to criticise, is pleasure combined with not
a little anxiety; for one cannot with any degree of certainty predict
what kind of reception one’s efforts may have from the public, who
are frequently led to a choice of books on the recommendation of
critics and reviewers; so that an unknown author is placed at a great
disadvantage, and at the mercy of those who may laud a book to the
skies if they please, satirically criticise another, and pass over a
third with a sarcastic smile or a significant shrug of the shoulders. I
am afraid that my little volume will unfortunately be found amongst the
latter, but I candidly acknowledge that I hope it will be regarded as
belonging to the first, or at least to the second.
As I have simply written it in order to point out the virtues of an
aliment of the greatest interest in whatever light we may look at it,
I trust that if I have not instructed, I have at any rate afforded
pleasure to those who have thought it worth their while to glance over
its pages; and I shall be quite contented if they have derived as much
satisfaction in reading, as I have experienced in writing it.
I have tried to impress upon the reader the advisability, and indeed
the necessity, of using the bountiful gifts of nature in a manner
consistent with common sense, and not to follow blindly and credulously
the whims and conceits of others, but to regard their frantic efforts
to indoctrinate the thoughtless, with that dispassionate indifference
which is the sign of philosophical complacency and superiority.
Lucretius says truly that “nothing is more delightful than to occupy
the elevated temples of the wise, well fortified by tranquil learning,
whence you may look down upon others and see them straying in every
direction, and wandering in search of the path of life.”
Approbation is pleasing, and particularly so when it comes from those
who are more able to judge impartially and correctly than others; and
censure, if deserved, though far from gratifying, is not of a nature to
intimidate or to create discouragement.
With these concluding remarks, and certain misgivings, I now submit my
short work to the indulgent consideration of those who read for the
sake of obtaining information, those who read for amusement only, and
to those who peruse literary productions with the eye of criticism.
Lord Bacon advises us to “Read, not to contradict and confute, nor
to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but
to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be
swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. That is, some books
are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and
some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”
In conclusion, I must say that I sincerely hope that the candid reader
has reaped improvement where the critic may have found only matter for
censure.
APPENDIX.
A., page 38. “Occasionally lakes are found which have streams flowing
_into_ them, but none flowing _out_. Such lakes are usually salt. The
Caspian Sea in Asia is an example. It is called a sea from its great
extent, but it is in reality an inland lake of salt water.”
B., page 80. Mr. William Barnard Boddy on “Diet and Cholera”: “The
nourishment we derive from the flesh of some animals is not so
compatible with the well-being of our constitutional wants as others,
particularly the swine, which was altogether prohibited by the Jewish
lawgiver, independent of its spiritual enactments, because it produced
‘leprosy.’ Now pork is largely consumed in England, especially by the
poorer classes, and in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred is almost
invariably succeeded by diarrhœa; and we need not be surprised at this
when we look at the filthy habits of this animal; its impure feeding
and liability to the diseases of measles and scarlet-fever. But when we
know that they are often in this state killed and sold as an article of
food, the liability to disease of course is much greater. But this is
not all, as relates to this class of society, for almost—I might say
positively so—every article upon which they subsist is impoverished
by vile adulterations, and worse, putrefactions; their limited means
enabling them to procure only the half-decomposed refuse of the
vegetable market, and the half-tainted meat from the butchers’ shambles.
“The more wealthy command all the luxuries of life in abundance, and,
agreeable to their inclinations and appetites, feast accordingly.
Over-indulgence however, often repeated, at last exhausts the healthy
tone of the stomach, and blunts the keen edge of desire; and in order
to produce a false appetite, condiments of various kinds and degrees
are substituted; so that, in fact, the food becomes nearly as vitiated
by these additions as that of the poor man’s by subtractions—the one of
necessity, the other of choice. Extremes meet, and here ‘the rich and
poor meet together;’ for under both circumstances the animal economy
must severely suffer, and the ‘blood, which is the life,’ becomes weak
and serous; and though for a time, from the great reluctance health has
to depart, the growing evils of an impure and unwholesome diet may not
be perceived or apprehended, yet insensibly, from the perpetual inroads
made upon the constitution, and the delicate seat of life, the efforts
to resist disease become weaker and weaker, till at last the whole mass
is left without any internal active principle of sound health available
to resist or overcome its effects.”
THE END.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] The saliva, besides containing water, ptyaline, fatty matter, and
albumen, holds in solution chloride of sodium and potassium, besides
the sulphate of soda and the phosphates of lime and magnesia. The
amount secreted during twenty-four hours has been estimated at from two
to three pints.
[2] Their food, according to geologists, consisted solely of shell-fish.
[3] This sea is called by several names, viz., “The Dead Sea,” “The
Sea of the Plain,” or “of the Arabah,” and “The East Sea.” In the 2nd
Book of Esdras v. 7, it is called the “Sodomish Sea.” Josephus uses a
similar name, ἡ Σοδομύτυς λίμνη—the Sodomite Lake; he also calls it by
the same name as Diodorus Siculus, the “Asphaltic Lake”—ἡ Ἀσφαλτίτις
λίμνη. It contains 26 per cent. of salt, including large quantities of
magnesium compounds; its weight is of course great, a gallon weighing
almost 12-1/2 lb.; and its buoyancy is proportionate to the weight,
being such that the human body cannot sink in it. At the south side
is a mass of crystallised salt, and in it is a very peculiar cavern,
extending at least five miles, varying in height from 200 to 400 feet.
This sea is 1312 feet below the level of the Mediterranean; the river
Jordan, from the Sea of Galilee, flows into it, but no river flows from
it.
[4] According to C. Velleius Paterculus of Rome, Homer flourished B.C.
968; according to Herodotus, B.C. 884; the Arundelian Marbles fix his
era B.C. 907.
[5] To show how acute the Greek mind must have been, and how alive
the philosophers of that classic country were to everything, whether
beautiful or useful, we need only call to mind the quaint observation
of Zeno, the founder of the Stoics, who was born about B.C. 300, and
who says that “a soul was given to the hog instead of salt, to prevent
his body from rotting;” by this we see he was quite cognisant of the
preservative properties of salt.
[6] Between the Nile and the Red Sea there are quarries of white
marble, of porphyry, of basalt, and the beautiful green breccia, known
as _Verde d’Egitto_; in the same locality are found gold, iron, lead,
emerald, and copper.
[7] A learned author states as follows: “We have seen, too, that the
earliest state of Egypt, as seen in the pyramids, and in the tombs of
the same age, reveals an orderly society and civilisation, of which the
origin is unknown.”
[8] No doubt they were proud of their African parentage, and looked
upon the hoary monarchy of the Nile with a sentiment of religious awe
and unfeigned wonder. Baron Bünsen graphically puts it: “Egypt was to
the Greeks a sphinx with an intellectual human countenance.”
[9] Probably owing to the existence of salt in Western Thibet and in
Lahore, a province of Hindostan, also the Indian Salt Range, which
stretches in a sigmoid curve, according to the late researches of Mr.
Wynne, from Kalabagh on the Indus to a point north of Tank, both the
Chinese and Hindoos may have been equally cognisant of its virtues with
the Egyptians, especially when we have it recorded that the Celestials
procured it by a process not only original but in a certain degree
characteristic of Asiatic combination of ingenuity and clumsiness.
[10] Baron Bünsen says that “No nation of the earth has shown so much
zeal and ingenuity, so much method and regularity in recording the
details of private life, as the Egyptians.” They were also most expert
engineers; the canal from the Nile to the Red Sea, which may be called
the canal of Rameses II., being protected at the Suez mouth by a system
of hydraulic appliances to obviate difficulties arising from the
variable levels of the water.
[11] “It is a strange fact that the early Egyptians, like the
Hindoos, had a religious dread of the sea,”(?); and yet in the reign
of Necho, the son of Psammetichus, they actually accomplished the
circumnavigation of Africa: the voyage took three years.

[13] “One momentous consequence of the Shepherd conquest appears to
have been that the expelled Shemites carried back with them into Syria
the arts and letters of Egypt, which were thence diffused by the
maritime Phœnicians over the opposite shores of Greece. Thus Egypt
began at this epoch to come in contact at once with the East and the
West, with Asia and with Europe.”
[14] “Euterpe,” book ii. chap. lxxvii.
[15] Lord Bacon mentions somewhere in his works that the ancients
discovered that salt water will dissolve salt put into it in less time
than fresh water. The same great philosopher also affirms that “salt
water passing through earth through ten vessels, one within another,
hath not lost its saltness; but drained through twenty, becomes fresh.”
[16] The Russians have a custom of presenting bread and salt to the
newly-married bride and bridegroom. In archæology we have salt-silver,
one penny at the feast of St. Martin, given by the tenants of some
manors, as a commutation for the service of carrying their lord’s salt
from market to his larder; an old English custom.
[17] According to the researches of the late Mr. George Smith,
Babylonian literature is of a much more ancient date than the histories
of the Bible; which fact would tend to indicate that the intellectual
development of that Eastern monarchy may have been coëval with that of
the African.

[31] It is well worth remembering that the Thames carries away from its
basin above Kingston 548,230 tons of saline matter annually.
[32] Hence arose the custom of asking for salt at the Eton Montem.

[36] In Prussia salt is obtained from the brine-springs of that part
of Saxony which is subject to her jurisdiction. It also exists in
abundance in Bavaria and Würtemberg; and it is the chief mineral
production of the Grand Duchy of Baden.
[37] “In one village they only found one earthen pot containing food,
which Bruce took possession of, leaving in its place a wedge of salt,
which, strange to say, is still used as small money in Gondar and all
over Abyssinia.”—Bruce’s “Travels in Abyssinia.”
[38] Polymnia, book vii. chap. xxx.
[39] The geographical features of this almost unknown country are
peculiarly interesting, and are unique when compared with others; the
great height of its mountains, its remarkable elevation, the large
rivers which take their rise here, and the numerous salt lakes, the
altitude of some being from 13,800 to 15,400 feet above the level of
the sea, all combine to excite our curiosity, which is increased by the
fact that we know next to nothing of the interior or of the habits of
the people.
[40] “Many springs in Sicily contain muriate of soda; and the ‘fuime
salso’ in particular is impregnated with so large a quantity that
cattle refuse to drink it. There is a hot spring at St. Nectaire, in
Auvergne, which may be mentioned as one of many, containing a large
proportion of muriate of soda, together with magnesia and other
ingredients.”—Sir Charles Lyell’s “Principles of Geology.”
[41] The Jurassic formation presents a remarkable contrast with that
of the Triassic, in the profusion of organic remains; for while the
latter contains next to none, the former teems with marine fossils, a
proof that the strata were unfavourable for the preservation of organic
structures.—Dr. Mantell’s “Wonders of Geology.”
[42] There is a mountain composed entirely of rock-salt not far from
this old Moorish city; it is 500 feet in height and three miles in
circumference; it is completely isolated, and gypsum is also present.
In other countries there are similar enormous masses, which require to
be dug out and pulverised by machinery on account of their hardness.
[43] Gypsum, or sulphate of lime, consists of sulphuric acid 46·31,
lime 32·90, and water 20·79. The massive gypsum is called _Alabaster_;
the transparent gypsum _Selenite_; powdered calcined gypsum forms
_Plaster of Paris_. The fibrous gypsum has a silken lustre, and is used
for ear-rings, brooches, and other ornaments. Fibrous gypsum of great
beauty occurs in Derbyshire; veins and masses of this substance abound
in the red marls bordering the valley of the Trent.

[47] In the great desert of Gobi, which is supposed to have been
originally the bed of the sea which communicated through the Caspian
with the Baltic, as confirmatory of this theory, salt is found in
great quantities mixed with the soil. To go a step further, we may
infer that the lake in Western Thibet (called Tsomoriri) may have been
in prehistoric times joined with this vanished sea, and if so would
account for its being saline.
[48] Sir Charles Lyell’s “Principles of Geology.”
[49] In rocks of igneous origin, of which there are many and varied
sorts in Australia, no fossils are found except in those rare cases
where animal or vegetable bodies have become invested in a stream of
lava or overwhelmed by a volcanic shower.
[50] Pigeons are always attracted by a lump of salt, and there is a
kind of bait called a salt-cat which is usually made at salt-works.

[52] See page 28, chap. iii.
[53] During the famine in Armenia in the year 1880 the people were most
distressed because they had no means to supply themselves with salt,
the want of which they felt even more than the lack of food.
[54] It is an interesting fact that the gastric juice varies in
different classes of animals, according to the food on which they
subsist; thus in birds of prey as kites, hawks, and owls, it only acts
on animal matter, and does not dissolve vegetables; in other birds,
and in all animals feeding on grass, as oxen, sheep, and hares, it
dissolves vegetable matter, as grass, but will not touch flesh of any
kind.

Waters,” by Professor Ticheborne and Dr. Prosser James.
[56] An alkaline spring has just been discovered in Bunhill Row which
possesses most of the constituents of Carlsbad water, but in a dilute
degree. A tube well, 217 feet in depth, has been recently completed on
the premises of Messrs. Le Grand and Sutcliff, artesian well engineers.
From an analysis which has been made of the spring found in the chalk
it appears to be soft water possessing the characteristics which are
peculiar to the above-mentioned famous German Spa. The well, although
artesian, is only so to a partial extent, and a pump of a novel
construction raises the water from 128 feet, and delivers it at the
surface.
