Σελίδα 186 - I may mention, as the most striking, that the wing is jointed, so that the posterior half, can, at pleasure, be doubled up, and brought forward between the anterior half and the body. The birds can do this at pleasure, and the appearance the manoeuvre imparts to their form, has procured for them the title of Ostrich Fowl.
Σελίδα 34 - The ammonia emitted from stables and necessaries is always in combination with carbonic acid. Carbonate of ammonia and sulphate of lime (gypsum) cannot be brought together at common temperatures, without mutual decomposition. The ammonia enters into combination with the sulphuric acid, and the carbonic acid with the lime, forming compounds which are not volatile, and, consequently, destitute of all smell.
Σελίδα 54 - The tail is lengthened out to the extent of about three feet, and is formed like a common whip. Towards the extremity, the bones terminate gradually, becoming insensibly smaller as they proceed downwards.

Σελίδα 38 - SOUPS. The delicate and proper blending of savours is the chief art of good soup-making. Be sure to skim the grease off the soup when it first boils, or it will not become clear. Throw in a little salt to bring up the scum. Remove ALL the fat. Be careful to simmer softly, and never allow a soup to boil hard.

Σελίδα 99 - Massachusetts, only one-eighth our size, comes within two of our number of representatives, we being cut down to thirteen, while she rises to eleven. And thus we, who once swayed the councils of the "Union, find our power gone, and our influence on the wane, at a time when both are of vital importance to our prosperity, if not to our safety.
