^[4] St John (1752) Vol. I pp. 6-7.

^[5] Ibid. p. 9, p. 71. St John observed that in the Old Testament one found 'extracts of genealogies, not genealogies; extracts of histories, not histories' (p. 102). Nevertheless, in his 1716 essay 'Reflections upon Exile' Bolingbroke did refer to Grotius' argument of the ancient peopling of America with approval.

^[6] Zythophil, BL Add. MSS 6269 ff. 161-178.

^[7] Ibid. f. 176.

^[8] Gough (1762) p. 60. Stukeley actually admitted in a manuscript of 1739 'that this method of analogizing between sacred & profane history, has been carryed too far, by some learned men', and that some of their comparisons seemed 'subtle' or 'far-fetcht'. Like Zythophil, he criticized the French bishop Pierre Daniel Huet (Huetius) (1630-1721), whose works were published in translation as A Treatise of the Situation of Paradise (1694) and The History of the Commerce and Navigations of the Ancients (1717). Nevertheless, he still considered Bochart, Vossius and Gale's methodology to be a 'commendable branch of knowledge.' Wellcome MS 4724 f. 3.

Burrow added that he was working on a 'treatise on the principles of Hindoo Astronomy' which would show that 'they were acquainted with a differential method similar to Newton's', but he died before this was ever published.

^[101] Lubbock cited as his source an essay by Alfred Russel Wallace, the co-discoverer of the theory of natural selection, titled 'The Origin of Human Races and the Antiquity of Man Deduced from the Theory of Natural Selection', published in Anthropological Review in May 1864.

^[102] Lubbock (1865) pp. 478, 491. Lubbock's assumption is clearly wrong. The Egyptian pyramids or Easter Island statues were evidence enough that technological skills could be lost over time.
