Σελίδα 20 - A turkey is to be killed for dinner by the electrical shock, and roasted by the electrical jack, before a fire kindled by the electrical bottle ; when the healths of all the famous electricians in England, Holland, France, and Germany, are to be drunk in electrified bumpers, under the discharge of guns from the electrical battery.
Σελίδα 346 - Lo ! from the dread immensity of space Returning, with accelerated course, The rushing comet to the Sun descends ; And as he sinks below the shading earth, With awful train projected o'er the Heavens, The guilty nations tremble.
Σελίδα 348 - So spake the grisly terror ; and in shape, So speaking, and so threatening, grew ten-fold More dreadful and deform : on the other side, Incensed with indignation, Satan stood Unterrified, and like a comet burned, That fires the length of Ophiuchus huge In the Arctic sky, and from his horrid hair Shakes pestilence and war.
Σελίδα 445 - PLUSIEURS choses gouvernent les hommes; le climat, la religion, les lois, les maximes du gouvernement, les exemples des choses passées, les mœurs , les manières ; d'où il se forme un esprit général qui en résulte.

It should have been stated that two workmen stand one at each side of the rollers,...
Σελίδα 191 - ... being constantly repeated from day to day, produces a constitutional irritation, dependent on the tonic properties of the steel, which is sure to terminate in pulmonary consumption ; insomuch, that persons employed in this kind of work used scarcely ever to attain the age of forty years. In vain was it attempted to purify the air, before its entry into the lungs, by gauzes or linen guards; the dust was too fine and penetrating...
Σελίδα 348 - Threatens the world with famine, plague, and war ; To princes death, to kingdoms many crosses, To all estates inevitable losses ; To herdsmen rot, to plowmen hapless seasons, To sailors storms, to cities civil treasons.
Σελίδα 359 - ... revolutions, by coming nearer and nearer to the Sun, had all its volatile parts condensed, and became a matter fit to recruit and replenish the Sun (which must waste by the constant heat and light it emitted), as a faggot would this fire, if put into it (we were sitting by a wood fire); and that that would probably be the effect of the comet of 1680, sooner or later; for, by the observations made upon it, it appeared, before it came near the Sun, with a tail only two...
