From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Genius \Gen"ius\, n.; pl. E. {Geniuses}; in sense 1, L. {Genii}.
      [L. genius, prop., the superior or divine nature which is
      innate in everything, the spirit, the tutelar deity or genius
      of a person or place, taste, talent, genius, from genere,
      gignere, to beget, bring forth. See {Gender}, and cf.
      {Engine}.]
      1. A good or evil spirit, or demon, supposed by the ancients
            to preside over a man's destiny in life; a tutelary deity;
            a supernatural being; a spirit, good or bad. Cf. {Jinnee}.
  
                     The unseen genius of the wood.            --Milton.
  
                     We talk of genius still, but with thought how
                     changed! The genius of Augustus was a tutelary
                     demon, to be sworn by and to receive offerings on an
                     altar as a deity.                              --Tylor.
  
      2. The peculiar structure of mind with whoch each individual
            is endowed by nature; that disposition or aptitude of mind
            which is peculiar to each man, and which qualifies him for
            certain kinds of action or special success in any pursuit;
            special taste, inclination, or disposition; as, a genius
            for history, for poetry, or painting.

      5. A man endowed with uncommon vigor of mind; a man of
            superior intellectual faculties; as, Shakespeare was a
            rare genius.
  
      Syn: {Genius}, {Talent}.
  
      Usage: Genius implies high and peculiar gifts of nature,
                  impelling the mind to certain favorite kinds of mental
                  effort, and producing new combinations of ideas,
                  imagery, etc. Talent supposes general strength of
                  intellect, with a peculiar aptitude for being molded
                  and directed to specific employments and valuable ends
                  and purposes. Genius is connected more or less with
                  the exercise of imagination, and reaches its ends by a
                  kind of intuitive power. Talent depends more on high
                  mental training, and a perfect command of all the
                  faculties, memory, judgment, sagacity, etc. Hence we
                  speak of a genius for poetry, painting. etc., and a
                  talent for business or diplomacy. Among English
                  orators, Lord Chatham was distinguished for his
                  genius; William Pitt for his pre[89]minent talents,
                  and especially his unrivaled talent for debate.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Genesis
      The five books of Moses were collectively called the Pentateuch,
      a word of Greek origin meaning "the five-fold book." The Jews
      called them the Torah, i.e., "the law." It is probable that the
      division of the Torah into five books proceeded from the Greek
      translators of the Old Testament. The names by which these
      several books are generally known are Greek.
     
         The first book of the Pentateuch (q.v.) is called by the Jews
      Bereshith, i.e., "in the beginning", because this is the first
      word of the book. It is generally known among Christians by the
      name of Genesis, i.e., "creation" or "generation," being the
      name given to it in the LXX. as designating its character,
      because it gives an account of the origin of all things. It
      contains, according to the usual computation, the history of
      about two thousand three hundred and sixty-nine years.
     
         Genesis is divided into two principal parts. The first part
      (1-11) gives a general history of mankind down to the time of
      the Dispersion. The second part presents the early history of
      Israel down to the death and burial of Joseph (12-50).
     
         There are five principal persons brought in succession under
      our notice in this book, and around these persons the history of
      the successive periods is grouped, viz., Adam (1-3), Noah (4-9),
      Abraham (10-25:18), Isaac (25:19-35:29), and Jacob (36-50).
     
         In this book we have several prophecies concerning Christ
      (3:15; 12:3; 18:18; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14; 49:10). The author of
      this book was Moses. Under divine guidance he may indeed have
      been led to make use of materials already existing in primeval
      documents, or even of traditions in a trustworthy form that had
      come down to his time, purifying them from all that was
      unworthy; but the hand of Moses is clearly seen throughout in
      its composition.
