Σελίδα 394 - It is indisputably evident that a great part of every man's life must be employed in collecting materials for the exercise of genius. Invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory: nothing can be made of nothing: he who has laid up no materials, can produce no combination.
Σελίδα 360 - A, 11, (.', are said to be proportional, when the ratio of the first to the second is the same as that of the second to the third.
Σελίδα 397 - To make it merely natural, is a mechanical operation, to which neither genius nor taste are required ; whereas, it requires the nicest judgment to dispose the drapery, so that the folds shall have an easy communication, and gracefully follow each other, with such natural negligence as to look like the effect of chance, and at the same time show the figure under it to the utmost advantage.
Σελίδα 398 - There is one precept, however, in which I shall only be opposed by the vain, the ignorant, and the idle. I am not afraid that I shall repeat it too often.

Σελίδα 170 - To bleacfi cloth in this manner, it must be immersed in a slight alkaline caustic liquor, and placed in a chamber constructed over a boiler, into which is put the alkaline ley which is to be raised into Steam. After the fire has been lighted, and the cloth has remained exposed to the action of the steam for a sufficient length of time, it is taken out, and immersed in the Oxygenated Muriate of Lime, and afterwards exposed for two or three days on the grass. This operation, which is very expeditious,...
Σελίδα 257 - The manner of using the seed-lac or white varnishes is the same, except with regard to the substance used in polishing ; which, where a pure white, or great clearness of other colours is in question, should be itself white ; whereas the browner sorts of polishing dust, as being cheaper, and doing their business with greater dispatch, may be used in other cases. The pieces of work to be varnished should be placed near a fire, or in a room where there is a stove, and made perfectly dry, and then the...

Σελίδα 354 - A segment of a circle is a part of a circle cut off by a straight line drawn across it. This straight line is called the chord.
