These beds appear to have been sometimes formed by superficial layers of gravel, &c., being permeated by iron solutions. With these must not be confounded the broad bands lying over and beside the heads of iron-masked dykes, and which, having been in a loose, gravelly, or fragmentary state at the time when the plutonic emissions passed through them, became cemented...
עמוד 420 - When the right lines become shorter, and are partly replaced by curves, they denote a better quality than the first. 3d. When the lines are interrupted, show points, and when the dimensions of the curves increase, this is a still better symptom. 4th. When the interrupted lines become still shorter, or rather, when they change to points, as they increase in number, so as to form in the breadth of the steel here and there, as it were, nets, interlinked by threads which undulate in diverse directions...
עמוד 13 - If any man among them be diseased, his nearest connexions put him to death, alleging in excuse that sickness would waste and injure his flesh. They pay no regard to his assertions that he is not really ill, but without the smallest compunction deprive him of life.
עמוד 586 - Musjeed is small, and has nothing worthy notice about it but its plainness, solidity, and great antiquity, being a work of the first Patan. conquerors, and belonging to the times of primitive Mussulman simplicity. It is exactly on the plan of the original Arabian mosques, a square court, surrounded by a cloister, and roofed with many small domes of the plainest and most solid construction, like the rudest specimens of what we call the early PRESENTATION TO THE EMPEROR OF DELHI.
עמוד 343 - ... and white ants — but that such patents should be engraved on plates of copper, so as to endure long unto their respective generations." Copper is, moreover, an unwieldy substance. It could not be written upon with the same facility that we now experience in tracing a pen on paper. Except by engraving, no lasting impression could be made upon it ; and engraving was by no means practicable.
עמוד 160 - ... thought which has led to them. Hence it is impossible for any one to understand their writings who has not previously, to a considerable degree, been practised in philosophical enquiries. The punishment however of this mystery and exclusion is the want of interest, felt in the study of their writings. The same doctrines which might have been instrumental in enlightening thousands, are now forgotten, or in the possession of a few who are hardly able to comprehend them. Among the general metaphysical...
עמוד 539 - Peninsula had an intimate relation with those that elevated the mountains of Sumatra, seems evident, whether we regard the hypothesis of De Beaumont, the more recent observations and theories of Mr. Darwin, or the mechanical researches of .Mr. Hopkins. Both form long chains which pursue parallel lines not more than 3 or 4 degrees distant.
עמוד 158 - Vaisheshikas, since we are of Colebrooke's opinion, that both sprang from the same root, and are but branches of the same school ; the one being directed more to the explanation of material, the other of logical forms.* Or to state it more exactly, — to the Nyaya belong the logical doctrines of the forms of syllogisms, terms and propositions ; to the...
עמוד 5 - Upon their retreat, the Thinae, who have continued on the watch, repair to the spot, and collect the mats which the strangers left behind at their departure : from these they pick out the haulm, which is called PETROS, and drawing out the fibres, spread the leaves double, and make them up into balls, and then pass the fibres through them.
עמוד 61 - Its climate is cold, healthy and congenial to European constitutions; its numerous crystal streams abound in gold dust and masses of the solid metal; its mountains are pregnant with precious stones and silver; its atmosphere is perfumed with tea growing wild and luxuriantly, and its soil is so well adapted to all kinds of agricultural purposes that it might be converted into one continued garden of silk, and cotton and coffee and sugar and tea, over an extent of many hundred miles.
