Σελίδα 37 - I came here first,' said Tom to the factor's wife, ' I was little better than a beast, and knew nae mair than a cow what was pretty and what was ugly. I was cuif enough to think that the bonniest thing in a countryside was a corn-field enclosed in four stane dykes; but now I ken the difference. Look this way, Mrs Laidlaw, and I'll show you what the gentlefolks likes. See ye there now the sun glinting- on Melrose Abbey? It's no aw bright, nor its no aw shadows neither, but just a bit screed o' light...
Σελίδα 5 - Half a word fixed upon or near the spot, is worth a cart-load of recollection. When we trust to the picture that objects draw of themselves on our mind, we deceive ourselves; without accurate and particular observation, it is but ill-drawn at first, the outlines are soon blurred, the colours every day grow fainter; and at last, when we would produce it to any body, we are forced to supply its defects with a few strokes of our own imagination.
Σελίδα 1 - ... painting, and in the course of time became connected with geometry. It is the art of representing by means of lines upon a flat surface, the forms of objects, and their positions and relations. The attempt to imitate, by lines, the forms which we see in nature, is the commencement of all drawing. According to a Greek tradition, drawing and sculpture took their rise together, when the daughter of Dibutades drew the outline of the shadow of her lover upon the wall, which her father cut out and...
Σελίδα 3 - I do not mean that I would have your Son a perfect painter; to be that to any tolerable Degree, will require more Time than a young Gentleman can spare from his other Improvements of greater Moment. But so much Insight into Perspective and Skill in Drawing, as will enable him to represent tolerably on Paper any thing he sees, except Faces, may, I think, be got in a little Time...
Σελίδα 30 - Gilpin. beauty, for sometimes the whole branch is lost as far as one of the lateral shoots, and this occasions a kind of rectangular junction, which forms a beautiful contrast with the other spray, and gives an elegant mode of hanging to the tree. " This points out another difference between the spray of the Oak and that of the Ash. The spray of the Oak seldom shoots...
Σελίδα 28 - Thus the rudiments are laid of that abrupt mode of ramification, for which the oak is remarkable. When two shoots spring from the same knot, they are commonly of unequal length ; and one with large strides generally takes the lead. Very often, also, three shoots, and sometimes four, spring from the same knot. Hence the spray of the oak...
Σελίδα 30 - ... the distance between each twig is wider, and it forms a kind of zigzag course. We esteem the Beech, also, in some degree a pendent tree as well as the Ash ; but there is a wide difference between them. The Ash is a light, airy tree, and its spray hangs in elegant, loose foliage ; but the hanging spray of the Beech, in old trees especially, is often twisted and intermingled disagreeably, and has a perplexed, matted appearance. The whole tree gives us something of the idea of an entangled head...
Σελίδα 4 - For three or four years the quantity raised was trifling ; but in 1833 they succeeded in fining a few casks, the best part of which has been sold at forty-five shillings a pound. By an account published in 1804, the stock then on hand was valued at £54,000, and the annual consumption stated to be about £3,500. This afforded a clue to the assessors of the property tax, which soon after came into operation ; and this mine — which 200 years ago had been valued at fifteen shillings and four pence...
Σελίδα 3 - ... several occasions, but especially if he travel, as that which helps a man often to express, in a few lines well put together, what a whole sheet of paper in writing would not be able to represent and make intelligible.
