I charge thee, Satan, hous'd within this man,
To yield possession to my holy prayers,
And to thy state of darkness hie thee straight.

14-iv. 4.

Tell truth, and shame the devil.— If thou have power to raise him, bring him hither, And I'll be sworn, I have power to shame him hence. O, while you live, tell truth, and shame the devil.

War deprecated.

Take care

18-iii. 1.

How you awake the sleeping sword of war:
We charge you in the name of God, take heed:
For never two such kingdoms did contend,
Without much fall of blood; whose guiltless drops
Are every one a woe, a sore complaint,

'Gainst him whose wrongs give edge unto the swords. That make such waste in brief mortality.

235.

Law of gravitation foreshown.

Time, force, and death,

Do to this body what extremes they can;

But the strong base and building of my love

Is as the very center of the earth,

Drawing all things to it.

236.

Pain beyond philosophy.

20-i. 2.

26--iv. 2.

Patience unmov'd, no marvel though she pause;
They can be meek, that have no other cause.
A wretched soul, bruis'd with adversity,
We bid be quiet, when we hear it cry;
But were we burden'd with like weight of pain,
As much, or more, we should ourselves complain:
So thou, that hast no unkind mate to grieve thee,
With urging helpless patience would'st relieve me:
But, if thou live to see like right bereft,

This fool-begg'd patience in thee will be left.

14-ii. 1.

237. French estimate of the English climate.

Dieu de battailes! where have they this mettle?
Is not their climate foggy, raw, and dull?
On whom, as in despite, the sun looks pale,
Killing their fruit with frowns?

He was a man, take him for all in all,
We shall not look upon his like again.

Capillary Theory, VIII. Acoustics. IX. Heat. X. Optics. XI. Electricity, Galvanism, and Magnetism. XII. Concluding Observations.

By THOMAS WEBSTER, M.A. Camb.

The Author's especial aim in this work has been to familiarize the student with processes. reasonings, just inferences, and inductions, rather than to present te aim a collection of facts; and he trusts that he has, in some measure, succeeded in compiling a Treatise exhibiting, in a mathematical form, but without mathematical technicalities and symbols, the various processes by which the establishment of any proposition in Physics is arrived at.

"This work merits considerable praise for simplicity of style and felicity of illustration; it is easier to read than Arnot's book, as it does not require the same study and fixity of attention, and it is therefore better suited to those who wish to acquire an elementary knowledge of Physical science."-Athenæum.

Edited by the REV. BRANDON TURNER, M.A.

"The edition before us is superior to its predecessors, since it is not only more accurate, but it contains nearly double the quantity of matter."Athenæum.

"We prefer the additions to the original. Mr. Turner has bestowed more thought and care on his work than professional avocations allowed Tytler to afford. We are bound to state that we could not easily point out a work containing so much historical information in the same space as the present volume."-League.

In 12mo, 6s. in cloth.
