Seite 101 - As all the living forms of life are the lineal descendants of those which lived long before the Cambrian epoch, we may feel certain that the ordinary succession by generation has never once been broken, and that no cataclysm has desolated the whole world. Hence we may look with some confidence to a secure future of great length. And as natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being, all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress towards perfection.

Seite 360 - I can assure the reader that I have, by the help of a distended wire, propagated the sound to a very considerable distance in an instant, or with as seemingly quick a motion as that of light, at least, incomparably swifter than that, which at the same time was propagated through the air ; and this not only in a straight line, or direct, but in one bended in many angles.
Seite 282 - Read the Rede of this old Roof Tree. Here be trust fast. Opinion free. Knightly right hand. Christian knee. Worth in all. Wit in some. Laughter open. Slander dumb. Hearth where rooted Friendships grow. Safe as Altar even to Foe. And the eparks that upwards go When the hearth flame dies below If thy sap in them may be Fear no Winter old Roof Tree ! JAMES HOOPER.
