עמוד lxxxvi - Vol. V. Contributions to a Knowledge of the Cosmogony, Mythology, Religious Ideas, Life and Manners of the Indians in the Vedic Age.
עמוד xlvi - Ihe characters tsintj for the germ, and fai for the matrix, which constantly occur in tho writings of Chinese alchemists, might be taken for the translation of terms in the vocabulary of the Western school, if their higher antiquity did not forbid the hypothesis. 5. The ends in view being the same, the means by which they were pursued were nearly identical — mercury and lead being as conspicuous in the laboratories of the East, as mercury and sulphur were in those of the West. It is of less significance...
עמוד lxxx - What do you say concerning the principle that injury should be recompensed with kindness?" The Master said, "With what then will you recompense kindness?" "Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness.
עמוד 138 - ... youth's own loss), and finally, "unus'd beauty" (the whole tragedy— of beauty, of the poet, and of the youth— in the hour of death). Thus this sonnet, which in its absence of visual imagery has little attraction for the hasty reader, reveals itself to analysis as having an intricate beauty of form to which it would be hard to find a parallel in the work of any other poet. Though Sonnet...
עמוד xlvi - Saracens, whoso most famous school of alchemy was at Bagdad, where intercourse with Eastern Asia was frequent. 2. The objects of pursuit in both schools were identical, and in either case twofold — immortality and gold. In Europe the former was the less prominent, because the people, being in possession of Christianity, had a vivid faith in a future life, to satisfy their longings on that head.
עמוד lxxix - And to act in that way we need neither ikons, nor relics, nor church services, nor priests, nor catechisms, nor governments, but on the contrary, we need perfect freedom from all that ; for to do to others as we wish them to do to us...
עמוד 33 - ... (ii.2.102 et al. : but GM omit this example). I have not observed that any other of the treatises deems it necessary to lay down in terms the principle that the consonant shares in the accentuation of the vowel to which it is attached. Though the rule may be regarded as in a manner superfluous, it is less to be objected to in itself than on account of the place where it is thrust in, so wholly out of connection. It ought to be somewhere where it can be made to apply to all the three accents,...
עמוד 52 - Madhye is explained as meaning ' in a method intermediate between closed and opened :' the rest of the comment agrees with the two preceding, and the cited rule is ii.9. Of the other Prati9akhyas, only that of the Rig- Veda sets up a third kind of articulated material, besides tone and breath ; and that (xiii.2;- derives the material from a combination of the two others, rather than their mean. I have already (note to Ath. Pr. i.13) expressed my opinion that the attempt to establish this distinction...
עמוד 21 - ... or phonetic complexion, of the vowel, without regard to its length. The Ath. Pr. has the same usage of this term, but without defining it by rule. As our treatise acknowledges no protracted r, and neither a long nor a protracted /, it does not admit the compounds rvarna and (varna : of the other three it frequently avails itself. The instance selected by the commentator is rule x.4, which directs the combination of a with a following t, i, 13 into < . 21.
עמוד lxiii - ... to it ; but as regards Greek, while brief monographs have been written on single authors, yet no systematic treatise on the subject had appeared from any quarter whatever. In this essay the author made an attempt to supply this deficiency, but the subject being very large, he confined his attention to the usages of prose, and to one form of that, the Attic. The Essay consists of brief rules for the position of words, illustrated by citations from the masters of Attic prose, amounting to fifteen...
