Only in one case was I at all satisfied of being able to count the rate of speed by a stop-watch, and, if I am not mistaken, there were thirty in ten seconds ; generally one's eye can no more follow the legs than it can the spokes of a carriage-wheel in rapid motion.

Controversy equalizes fools and wise men in the same way, — and the fools know it, — No, but I often read what they say about other people.
Pagina 43 - The vital principle is only known to us through the peculiar form of its instruments, that is, through the organs in which it resides. Hence, whatever kind of energy a substance may possess, if it is amorphous and destitute of organs from which the impulse, motion, or change proceeds, it does not live.
Pagina 71 - The lungs were studded with a great number of gelatinous-looking bodies, mostly of a yellowish color, varying in size from that of a mustard-seed to that of a bean. The smallest are generally roundish and almost transparent, sometimes they show an opaque white point in the centre and others are nearly black, resembling small shot.
