Sida 463 - Look round our world; behold the chain of love Combining all below and all above. See plastic Nature working to this end, The single atoms each to other tend, Attract, attracted to, the next in place Form'd and impell'd its neighbour to embrace.
Sida 542 - ... from this source, the plague constantly springing up every year, preys upon the inhabitants, and is stopped only by the return of the Nile, the overflowing of which washes away this load of filth...
Sida 541 - Without doubt, a febrile poison purely of animal origin, in a high degree of concentration, would kill instantaneously ; and when not intense enough to strike with instantaneous death, it would produce a continued fever with the typhoid characters in the greatest possible degree of completeness and perfection. And this appears to afford the true solution of the origin of the plague. The more closely the localities are examined of every situation in which the plague prevails, the more abundant the...
Sida 253 - ... hip-joint. Half an hour after death a red-hot poker was applied to three places on the inside of the arm. The body was examined in thirty-eight hours. " Some of the spots burnt during " life presented a uniform blister filled with serum ; on " two there was no blister, but the cuticle was gone, " and the true skin dried into a reddish translucent " membrane, at the edge of which there were drops of " serum, and also particles of the same fluid dried by " evaporation.

Sida 78 - German variety; but it is compared to that of milk or cream, or of a white horse. The eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, the hair of other parts, and often a soft down covering the whole body, are of the same colour. The iris is of a pale rose colour and the pupil intensely red ; these parts, in short, are exactly similar to the corresponding ones in white rabbits and ferrets. The characters of the Albino arise from a deficiency of the colouring principle common to the skin, hair, and eyes.
Sida 136 - ... of his patients, and declared that they had a violent inflammation of the stomach, which he was inclined to ascribe to natural verdigris, or the carbonate of copper having been communicated by the pastry-cook's moulds. In a few days all the three individuals recovered under an antiphlogistic treatment. About the same period several accidents of the like nature occurred among the customers of this pastry-cook ; and in consequence a judicial investigation was ordered. The shop being properly inspected...
Sida 78 - Let us suppose that the porcupine family had been exiled from human society, and been obliged to take up their abode in some solitary spot or desert island. By matching with each other, a race would have been produced, more widely different from us in external appearance than the Negro. If they had been discovered at some remote period, our philosophers would have explained to us how the soil, air, or climate, had produced so strange an...
