Page 363 - I had entered the Green by the gate at the foot of Charlotte Street — had passed the old washing-house. I was thinking upon the engine at the time and had gone as far as the Herd's house when the idea came into my mind, that as steam was an elastic body it would rush into a vacuum, and if a communication was made between the cylinder and an exhausted vessel, it would rush into it, and might be there condensed without cooling the cylinder.
Page 377 - Here stood a shatter'd archway plumed with fern; And here had fall'na great part of a tower, Whole, like a crag that tumbles from the cliff, And like a crag was gay with wilding flowers...
Page 274 - But the precept is understood to be subject to large exceptions. Its real use is to warn us against the abuse of the more popular adage that " a man has a right to do as he likes with his own " (c), which errs much more dangerously on the other side.
