Pàgina 346 - And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
Pàgina 467 - ... when we reflect how often we have mourned and been comforted, what opposite opinions we have successively maintained and abandoned, to what inconsistent habits we have gradually been formed, and how frequently the objects of our pride have proved the sources of our shame, we are naturally led to recur to the days of our childhood, and to retrace the whole of our career, and that of our contemporaries, with feelings of far greater humility and indulgence than those by which it had been accompanied...
Pàgina 490 - I shall therefore ca'l it catalytic power. I shall also call Catalysis the decomposition of bodies by this force, in the same way as the decomposition of bodies by chemical affinity is termed analysis.
Pàgina 410 - All geologists will agree with Dr. Buckland, that the most perfect unity of plan can be traced in the fossil world throughout all the modifications which it has undergone, and that we can carry back our researches distinctly to times antecedent to the existence of man. We can prove that man had a beginning, and that all the species now contemporary with man, and many others which preceded, had also a beginning ; consequently the present state of the organic world has not gone on from all eternity...
Pàgina 467 - ... accompanied : — to think all vain but affection and honour — the simplest and cheapest pleasures the truest and most precious — and generosity of sentiment the only mental superiority which ought either to be wished for or admired.
Pàgina 409 - The Doctor adds beautifully and most ingeniously : — ' The results arising from these facts are not confined to animal physiology ; they give information also regarding the condition of the ancient sea and ancient atmosphere, and the relations of both these media to light, at that remote period when the earliest marine animals were furnished with instruments of vision, in which the minute optical adaptations were the same that impart the perception of light to crustaceans now living at the bottom...
Pàgina 214 - As the greatest transfer of material to the bottom of the ocean is produced on the coast line by the action of the sea, while the quantity carried down by rivers from the surface of continents is comparatively trifling; hence therefore the greatest local accumulation of pressure is in the central area of deep seas, but the greatest local relief takes place along the abraded coast lines: here, therefore, according to this view should occur the chief volcanic vents.
Pàgina 192 - ... going on, the evolution of heat increases, and while it is fasting it diminishes; but this diminution has a limit, whereas increased respiration is invariably attended by increased heat. Gaseous matter is exhaled in great abundance from the surface of the body of an insect, and contributes to regulate and equalize its temperature ; but the quantity diminishes in proportion to the length of time during which it has been deprived of food. The author maintains that animal heat is not an effect of...
Pàgina 467 - ... have expired or been abandoned — when we have seen, year after year, the objects of our fiercest hostility, and of our fondest affections, lie down together in the hallowed peace of the grave — when ordinary pleasures and amusement...
Pàgina 290 - ... Carleton Hall near Saxmundham, has recorded that his gamekeeper had succeeded in rearing two birds from a barn-door hen, having a cross from a pheasant, and a pheasant cock, which he presented to the Zoological Society. On the same evening when these three-quarterbred pheasants were noticed, hybrids between the Pheasant and Common Fowl, the Common Pheasant and the Silver Pheasant, and the Common Pheasant with the Gold Pheasant, were placed on the Society's table for exhibition. (Zool. Proc.,...
