Page 394 - So when the Angel of the darker Drink At last shall find you by the river-brink, And, offering his Cup, invite your Soul Forth to your Lips to quaff — you shall not shrink.
Page 340 - Looking back to the times of the " father of chemistry and the brother of the Earl of Cork...
Page 346 - Though Frankland's notation commands admiration, As something exceedingly clever, And Mr. Kay Shuttleworth praises its subtle worth, I give it up sadly for ever : Its brackets and braces, and dashes and spaces, And letters decreased and augmented Are grimly suggestive of lunes to make restive A chemical printer demented. I've tried hard, but vainly, to realise plainly Those bonds of atomic connexion, Which Crum Brown's clear vision discerns with precision Projecting in every direction. In...
Page 407 - ... different places are examined. The differences in the observed actions for equal altitudes, which may amount to more than 100 per cent, at different places, and to nearly as much at the same place at different times of the year, serve as exact measurements of the transparency of the atmosphere.
Page 407 - A similar relation has already been shown to exist (by a far less complete series of experiments than the present) for Kew, Heidelberg, and Para ; so that, although the chemical intensity for the same altitude at different places and at different times of the year varies according to the varying transparency of the atmosphere, yet the relation at the same place between altitude and intensity is always represented by a straight line. This variation in the direction of the straight line is due to the...
Page 340 - I observe, that of late chymistry begins, as indeed it deserves, to be cultivated by learned men who before despised it; and to be pretended to by many who never cultivated it, that they may be thought not to be ignorant of it...
Page 253 - A'B'C, A"B"C, and so on. Draw BN perpendicular to A'B'. Produce A'B' to D, where D is the image of B in the plane through B'.
Page 403 - ... gas is so small compared with that of the luting liquid. At any rate I see no grounds for interrupting our experiments ; still less do I consider that it is a misfortune that the results which we have obtained should have been to some extent previously described by him. It appears to me that the value of an investigation is not to be measured by whether something is described in it for the first time, but rather by what means and methods a fact is proved beyond doubt or cavil, and in this respect...
Page 422 - Physikalische Verein of Frankfort ; a corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences of Munich, and of the Royal Society of Sciences of Gottingen, the Reale Accademia dei Lincei, Rome, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Catania, Leop. Carol. Akad. of Halle, and of the Physiogr. Sallsk. of Lund. He was an honorary member of the Royal Irish Academy, and of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester. In 1912 the Franklin Institute awarded him the Elliott Cresson Medal. He was sworn...
Page 253 - A^ ... are a train of advancing waves of wave length X. Consider those waves which, after reflection, join in moving along BC, and compare the distances which they must travel from some line such as A A'" before they reach the point C.
