Halaman 60 - As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth : For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone ; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Halaman 71 - Finally, it may not be out of place to say a few words regarding the causes of the low flow of the Roanoke (estimated), as compared with that of streams in New England.
Halaman 9 - Through wisdom is an house builded ; and by understanding it is established : and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Halaman 60 - Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present : and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth. Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments : and let no flower of the spring pass by us. Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds before they be withered.

The work of death being at length completed, we drew the bears...
Halaman 329 - Formerly, these animals were made use of in Sweden to draw sledges ; but owing, as it was said, to their speed frequently accelerating the escape of people who had been guilty of murders, or other crimes, the use of them was prohibited under great penalties. Though I apprehend those ordinances, if not abrogated, are obsolete, I am not aware that the elk...
Halaman 327 - The elk is a long-lived animal ; he does not attain to his full growth until after his fourteenth year. At least so it is to be presumed, as up to that period his horns, which are of a flat form, are annually provided with an additional branch. He sheds his horns about the month of February in each year. The female elk, unlike the reindeer of that sex, has no horns.
Halaman 329 - It is not long since that a regiment was clothed with waistcoats made from the hides of those animals, which were so thick that a ball could scarcely penetrate them.'
