Page 578 - The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage ; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it ; and it shall fall and not rise again.
Page 314 - 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.

Page 52 - A MANUAL of BRITISH VERTEBRATE ANIMALS, Or, Descriptions of all the Animals belonging to the classes Mammalia, Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia, and Pisces, which have been hitherto observed in the British Islands : including the domesticated, naturalized, and extirpated species : the whole systematically arranged.

Page 4 - ... that it actually came over in the same ship which conveyed the new dynasty to these shores. My father, who was of the first order of field naturalists, was always positive on this point ; and he maintained firmly, that it did accompany the House of Hanover in its emigration from Germany to England.
Page 200 - And shivery leaf-sounds of the solitude, The spirit wakes to worship, and is made Thy living temple.
