Halaman 164 - ... [I defy him, without an assistant, quoth Dr. Slop.] " In other matters, we may be deceived by false appearances ; and, as the wise man complains, hardly do we guess aright at the things that are upon the earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us. But here the mind has all the evidence and facts within...
Halaman 163 - Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled : thou takest away- their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created : and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Halaman 165 - I performed my experiments during the summer, to that of heat. At the same time I placed near it an open vessel, with the same substances that had been introduced into the flask, and also after having subjected them to a boiling temperature. In order now to renew constantly the air within the flask, I sucked with my mouth, several times a day, the open end of the apparatus filled with...
Halaman 18 - A short Account of Experiments and Instruments depending on the Relations of Air to Heat and Moisture.
Halaman 157 - In truth, the mass of evidence which combines to prove the great antiquity of the earth itself, is so irresistible, and so unshaken by any opposing facts, that none but those who are alike incapable of observing the facts, and...
Halaman 29 - ... have excelled him in profundity of understanding, in philosophical caution, and in logical accuracy; but we doubt if any surpassed him, whilst he must be allowed to have surpassed many, in that creative faculty — one of the highest and rarest of nature's gifts — which leads and is necessary to discovery, though not all-sufficient of itself for the formation of safe conclusions; or in that subtilty and reach of discernment which seizes the finest and least obvious relations among the objects...
Halaman 163 - The point, however, upon which the interpretation of the first chapter of Genesis appears to me really to turn, is, whether the two first verses are merely a summary statement of what is related in detail in the rest of the chapter, and a sort of introduction to it, or whether they contain an account of an act of creation. And this last seems to me to be their true interpretation, first, because there is no other account of the creation of the earth ; secondly, the second verse describes the condition...
Halaman 166 - I sucked with my mouth, several times a day, the open end of the apparatus filled with solution of potash ; by which process the air entered my mouth from the flask through the caustic liquid, and the atmospheric air from without entered the flask through the sulphuric acid. The air was of course not at all altered in its composition by passing through the sulphuric acid in the flask, but if sufficient time was allowed for the passage, all the portions of living matter, or of matter capable of becoming...
Halaman 223 - London, merchant, in consequence of a communication made to him by a certain foreigner residing abroad, for an invention of " improvements in the manufacture of iron."— 19th July 1838.
Halaman 165 - By means of the boiling-heat, every thing living and all germs in the flask or in the tubes were destroyed, and all access was cut off, by the sulphuric acid on the one side, and by the potash on the other. I placed this...
