Page 92 - Far in the bosom of the deep, O'er these wild shelves my watch I keep; A ruddy gem of changeful light, Bound on the dusky brow of night, The seaman bids my lustre hail, And scorns to strike his timorous sail.

Page 11 - The Bakerian Lecture ; an Account of some new analytical researches on the nature of certain Bodies, particularly the Alkalies, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Carbonaceous Matter, and the Acids hitherto undecompounded ; with some general Observations on Chemical Theory.
Page 219 - ... same story. Thus, by beginning at the outer layer of two trees, the one young the other old, and counting back twenty years, if the young tree indicated, by a full layer, a growing season for that kind of timber, the other tree indicated the same
Page 11 - The Bakerian Lecture, on some of the Combinations of Oxymuriatic Gas and Oxygen, and on the Chemical Relations of these Principles to inflammable Bodies.
Page 127 - Authorities, I admit, are of little weight in matters of science, in the face of positive facts ; but it is necessary that these facts exist, that they have been subjected to severe examination, that they have been skilfully grouped, with a view to extract from them the truths they conceal. Now, has this procedure been adopted with regard to the...
Page 92 - I noticed millions of little frozen spicula floating upon the water. At the end of this mill-pond the water fell over a low weir and entered a narrow channel, where its course was obstructed by points of rock and large stones. By these, numerous eddies and gyrations were occasioned, which apparently drew the floating spicula under water ; and I found the frozen matter to accumulate much more abundantly upon such parts of the stones as stood opposed to the current, where that was not very rapid below...
Page 263 - ... fortyfour, between the 10th of February and the 24th of March inclusive, 32.8018 grs ; the difference between the two series being .0118 grs. The exception alluded to above occurred on the 9th of February, on which day the weight of the air was 32.8218 grs. ; and it is remarkable, that after this period, during the whole time that the experiments were continued, the air almost uniformly possessed a weight above the usual standard ; so that, as above stated, the mean of the forty-two observations...
Page 139 - Ryan, and to which the lecturer had paid particular attention. The process is now largely in use. The wood, prior to its application, is immersed in a solution of corrosive sublimate ; in the course of a week a load of it is found to have absorbed five gallons of solution ; at the end of that time it is removed, and shortly after becomes fit for building. The preservative powers of corrosive sublimate in furs, stuffed birds, anatomical specimens...
Page 214 - The diversities of language carry us, indeed, very far back towards the infancy of our race, and are, perhaps, much more ancient distinctions than the varieties of form and colour. But these diversities require no such explanation as that of a separate origin, or a distinct creation of the several races who are so characterised.
