Seite 355 - Armenians, have a singular method of ornamenting watch cases, &c., with diamonds and other precious stones, by simply glueing or cementing them on. The stone is set in silver or gold, and the lower part of the metal made flat, or to correspond with the part to which it is to be fixed; it is then warmed gently, and...
Seite 112 - ... made watertight by means of collars of oiled leather, the box was filled with cold water (viz. at the temperature of 60'), and the machine was put in motion. The result of this beautiful experiment was very striking, and the pleasure it afforded me amply repaid me for all the trouble I had had in contriving and arranging the complicated machinery used in making it.

Seite 114 - ... further how large a quantity of heat might be produced by proper mechanical contrivance, merely by the strength of a horse, without either fire, light, combustion, or chemical decomposition; and, in a case of necessity, the heat thus produced might be used in cooking victuals.
Seite 417 - At first they could not be persuaded of the reality of the appearance ; but they soon became so thoroughly convinced, by the cliffs gradually appearing more elevated, and approaching nearer, as it were, that they pointed out, and named to me, the different places they had been accustomed to visit ; such as the Bay, the Old Head or Man, the Windmill, &c. at Boulogne ; St. Vallery, and other places on the coast of Picardy ; which they afterwards confirmed, when they viewed them through their telescopes.
Seite 138 - Paulus ./Egineta fpeaks of fugar, as growing, in his time, in Europe, and alfo as brought from Arabia Felix ; the latter of which he feems to think lefs fweet than the fugar produced in Europe, and neither injurious to the Ûomach nor caufing thirft, as the European fugar was apt to do.
