...evolution," that "Man comes of a very ancient lineage," which measures "the dignity of his attainment"-he, Professor Lull, is himself an example of the dignity of that attainment: a "fine physical specimen," over 6 ft. in height, sturdy, straight as an arrow, with regular features, a high arching forehead, a keen mind, soft spoken (although suffering, like Edison, from deafness), courteous, kindly, possessed of a sense of humor-all the attributes commonly thought of as the height of human attainment.

In appearance, he is a typical Romano- high forehead, heavy overhanging brows, full mouth, quantities of white hair which was once jet black.
