36 ページ - I wish we could derive the rest of the phenomena of Nature by the same kind of reasoning from mechanical principles, for I am induced by many reasons to suspect that they may all depend upon certain forces by which the particles of bodies, by some causes hitherto unknown, are either mutually impelled towards one another, and cohere in regular figures, or are repelled and recede from one another.
77 ページ - Making it momentary as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream ; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth. And ere a man hath power to say, — Behold ! The jaws of darkness do devour it up : So quick bright things come to confusion.
99 ページ - ... in this case, habit, I believe, much more than nature, is the cause of the difference. The occupations of nine out of every ten men are special, those of nine out of every ten women general, embracing a multitude of details, each of which requires very little time. Women are in the constant practice of passing quickly from one manual, and still more from one mental, operation to another, which therefore rarely costs them either effort or loss of time, while a man's occupation generally consists...

103 ページ - A certain quantity of material," says Mr. Babbage,f " will in all cases be consumed unprofitably, or spoiled, by every person who learns an art ; and as he applies himself to each new process, he will waste some of the raw material, or of the partly manufactured commodity. But if each man commits this waste in acquiring successively every process, the quantity of waste will be much greater than if each person confine his attention to one process.
99 ページ - In this, however, as in most other things, though natural differences are something, habit is much more. The habit of passing rapidly from one occupation to another, may be acquired, like other habits, by early cultivation ; and when it is acquired, there is none of the sauntering which Adam Smith speaks of after each change : no want of energy and interest, but the workman comes to each part of his occupation with a freshness and a spirit which he does not retain if he persists in any one part (except...
35 ページ - Method proportionably render thinking a trouble and a fatigue. But as soon as the mind becomes accustomed to contemplate, not things only, but likewise relations of things, there is immediate need of some path or way of transit from one to the other of the things related; — there must be some law of agreement or of contrast between them; there must be some mode of comparison; in short, there must be Method.
57 ページ - Farr's opinion that phthisis, or consumption, is "the greatest, the most constant, and the most dreadful of the diseases that afflict mankind, and that it is the cause of nearly half the deaths between the ages of 15 and 35.
36 ページ - ... one another, and cohere in regular figures, or are repelled and recede from one another. These forces being unknown, philosophers have hitherto attempted the search of Nature in vain; but I hope the principles here laid down will afford some light either to this or some truer method of philosophy.
65 ページ - ... ordinary observer, would say, of such a shaped head, that it was associated with very small intellectual power; and the figure of the head, taken with the faculties and expression of the face, was too manifestly such as every observer would say prophesied ill for the future character of the individual. Great care might possibly do much; but when you consider these evils of birth, and the unavoidable privations and neglect to which these human beings must be exposed as they grow up, the awful...
