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.

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.
