Page 138 - In primis hoc volunt persuadere, non interire animas, sed ab aliis post mortem transire ad alios, atque hoc maxime ad virtutem excitari putant, metu mortis neglecto. Multa praeterea de sideribus atque eorum motu, de mundi ac terrarum magnitudine, de rerum natura, de deorum immortalium vi ac potestate, disputant et juventuti tradunt.
Page 138 - Hecatasus. and some others tell us that opposite the land of the Celts [*v rait avrmipav rf)r K(>rntr}c r«B«»«] there exists in the Ocean an island not smaller than Sicily, and which, situated under the constellation of The Bear, is inhabited by the Hyperboreans; so called because they live beyond the point from which the North wind blows. ... If one may believe the same mythology, Latona was born in this island, and for that reason the inhabitants honour Apollo more than any other deity. A sacred...
Page 424 - The expenses of this research have been in part defrayed by a Government grant from the Royal Society, and in part by the Cavendish Laboratory. I wish to thank Professor JJ Thomson, FRS, for his kind encouragement, and my thanks are also due to Mr.
Page 139 - ... upon the orientation of the avenue. Further evidence will be given, however, to show that the direction of the axis of the temple, so far as it can now be determined, is sufficiently accordant with the direction of the avenue. The orientation of this avenue may be examined upon the same principles that have been found successful in the case of Greek and Egyptian temples — that is, on the assumption that Stonehenge was a solar temple, and that the greatest function took place at sunrise on the...
Page 426 - In this paper it is shown that there is one, and only one, conceivable purely mechanical system capable of accounting for all the physical evidence, as we know it, in the universe.
Page 61 - On the Seasonal Variation of Atmospheric Temperature in the British Isles and its Relation to Wind-direction, with a Note on the Effect of Sea Temperature on the Seasonal Variation of Air Temperature.
Page 155 - Pearson rather unguardedly concluded "that we are forced to the perfectly definite conclusion that the mental characters In man are inherited In precisely the same way as the physical.
Page 411 - In studying this Fourth state of Matter we seem at length to have within our grasp and obedient to our control the little indivisible particles which with good warrant are supposed to constitute the physical basis of the universe.
Page 413 - According to it, the equivalent weights of bodies are simply those quantities of them which contain equal quantities of electricity, or have naturally equal electric powers; it being the ELECTRICITY which determines the equivalent number, because it determines the combining force. Or, if we adopt the atomic theory or phraseology, then the atoms of bodies which are equivalent to each other in their ordinary chemical action, have equal quantities of electricity naturally associated with them.
Page 422 - Like the action producing volatilization, the "red heat "is confined to the superficial layers of molecules only. The metal instantly assumes, or loses, the appearance of red heat the moment the current is turned on or off, showing that, if the appearance is really due to a rise of temperature, it does not penetrate much below the surface. The extra activity of the metallic molecules necessary to volatilize them is, in these experiments, confined to the surface only, or the whole mass would evaporate...
