Alfred Powell Morgan 5h6h5q
Wireless telegraphy, that marvelous art which has made possible the instantaneous transmission of intelligence between widely distant parts having no apparent physical connection save that of the earth, air, and water, is one of those wonders of science which appeal to the average mind as either incomprehensible or only explainable through the use .. 471h5v
Henry Curtis 4lo5i
The capacity and aptitude for motion, observable in man, naturally lead us to an enquiry into the general principle of his corporeal functions.

Chambers' Journal 601h2c
All the world has shrunk since the Golden Age of our childhood. Time was longer, and people were taller then.

Martha Finley 5l1ia
Mildred soon discovered that her husband was far from neat and orderly in his habits; but accepting the fact as the one inevitable yet small thorn ed to her otherwise delicious rose, she bore the trial with exemplary patience, indulging in never a reproachful word or even look as she quietly picked up and put in place the books, papers, and gar..
William Harvey 1p5r3o
Harvey’s work, by which his name has been made immortal, strikingly illustrates this. He was the first to show the nature of the movements of the heart, and how the blood moved in the body. He did so by putting on one side authority, and directly appealing to observation and experiment. The completeness of the success with which this independent li..
