Page xiv - You write two or three words on a paper ; he takes it with him into a room, and turns a machine enclosed in a cylindrical case, at the top of which is an electrometer, a small fine pith ball : a wire connects with a similar cylinder and electrometer in a distant apartment, and his wife by remarking the corresponding motions of the ball, writes down the words they indicate, from which it appears that he has formed an alphabet of motions. As the length of the wire makes no difference in the effect,...
Page 273 - The generally accepted doctrine in this country is, as stated by Mr. Benjamin, that a contract for the sale of goods to be delivered at a future day is valid, even though the seller has not the goods nor auy other means of getting them than to go into the market and buy them...
Page 273 - If, under guise of such a contract, the real intent be merely to speculate in the rise or fall of prices, and the goods are not to be delivered, but one party is to pay to the other the difference between the contract price and the market price of the goods at the date fixed for executing the contract, then the whole transaction constitutes nothing more than a wager, and is null and void under the statute.

Page 742 - ... neglect to turn and shake up the litter every day, and to fork it from one part of the stall to another. " If these precautions are observed the animals find a dry bed, the horses remain clean, and their skin in activity. If properly treated, moss litter is far more elastic than straw, and affords a more comfortable bedding. The harness and saddles, as well as the boots of our soldiers, are better preserved. " From a veterinary point of view, further advantages are observed. Catarrhs of the nose...
Page 65 - It will be seen that a return of better seasons since the first twenty-eight has led to a considerable reduction in the estimate of the rate of decline from year to year due to exhaustion. It remains to be seen what will be the result in the future ; and whether a point has already been, or will in time be reached, at which the produce will remain constant, excepting so far as it is influenced by the fluctuations of the seasons. The Farmyard Manure Plot.
Page ix - I know not what epithet to give this soil ; sterility falls short of the idea ; a hungry vitriolic gravel — I occupied for nine years the jaws of a wolf. A nabob's fortune would sink in the attempt to raise good arable crops in such a country...
Page 370 - Of all that should take place afterward as regards the barley, the vendor knew nothing. It was entirely at the disposal of the vendee, who might send it where and to whom he pleased, and when he pleased, and over which disposition the seller could exercise no control.
