Стр. 306 - Are many lesser faculties, that serve Reason as chief ; among these fancy next Her office holds; of all external things, Which the five watchful senses represent, She forms imaginations, aery shapes, Which reason, joining or disjoining, frames All what we' affirm or what deny, and call Our knowledge or opinion ; then retires Into her private cell, when nature rests.
Стр. 165 - ... once what is the weight of a quantity of water, equal in bulk to the solid matter in the sand ; and by comparing this with the weight of the sand, we have its true specific gravity.
Стр. 257 - The balls of his broad eyes roll'd in his head, And glar'd betwixt a yellow and a red : He look'da lion with a gloomy stare, And o'er his eyebrows hung his matted hair : Big-bon'd, and large of limbs, with sinews strong, Broad-bhoulder'd, and his arms were round and long.
