Seite 149 - Here an old woman, thinking to help her pastor out of a dead-lift, cried out, ' Aiblins, sir, it was a dunter ' (the vulgar name of a species of whale common to the Scotch coast). "'Aiblins, madam, ye're an auld witch, for taking the word o' God out of my mouth,' was the reply of the disappointed rhetorician.
Seite 228 - Men have broad and large chests, and small narrow hips, and more understanding than the women, who have but small and narrow breasts, and broad hips, to the end they should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children.
Seite 328 - An Act to exempt from County, Borough, Parochial and other Local Rates, Lands and Buildings occupied by Scientific or Literary Societies.
Seite 293 - That the matter of the proposed Copyright Bill be referred, through the Committee of Recommendations, to the General Committee, so far as it affects (1) the copyright of scientific Societies in their Transactions ; and (2) the publication of abstracts of scientific papers ; and that they be requested to take such action as will protect scientific Societies.
