Стр. 83 - He ne'er gave quarter t' any such. The trenchant blade, Toledo trusty. For want of fighting was grown rusty, And ate into itself, for lack Of somebody to hew and hack.
Стр. 97 - the very seat of pleasantness ;" and Sir William Dugdale remarked that it is "a place this of so great delight, in respect to the river gliding below the rock, the dry and wholesome situation, and the fair grove of lofty elms overshadowing it, that to one who desireth a retired life, either for his devotions or study, the like is hardly to be found.
Стр. 149 - This table and the accompanying remarks are the result of many years' actual observation ; the whole being constructed on a due consideration of the attraction of the sun and moon in their several positions respecting the earth ; and will, by simple inspection, show the observer what kind of weather will most probably follow the entrance of the moon into any of her quarters, and that so near the truth as to be seldom or never found to fail.
Стр. 150 - Moses' horns — if white at setting, or shorn of his rays, or if he goes down into a bank of clouds in the horizon, bad weather is to be expected. If the moon looks pale and dim, we expect rain ; if red, wind ; and if of her natural colour, with a clear sky, fair weather. If the moon is rainy throughout, it...
