Page 33 - ... at the time of the committing of the act, the party accused was labouring under such a defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing; or, if he did know it, that he did not know he was doing what was wrong.
Page 182 - The following gentlemen, having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma, were admitted Members of the College at a meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 25th inst., •viz.: — Brodribb, Francis Benjamin, LSA, Upper Clapton, student of St.
Page 117 - On Tuesday last A falcon towering in her pride of place Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.
Page 82 - I send thee not to volumes for thy cure ; Read Nature ; Nature is a friend to truth ; Nature is christian ; preaches to mankind ; And bids dead matter aid us in our creed. Hast thou ne'er seen the comet's flaming flight ? Th...
Page 163 - ... covering, and start into day a winged bird, — what think you would be the sensation excited by this strange piece of intelligence ? After the first doubts of its truth were dispelled, what astonishment would succeed ! Amongst the learned, what surmises ! — what investigations ! Amongst the vulgar, what eager curiosity and amazement! All would be interested in the history of such an unheard-of phenomenon ; even the most torpid would flock to the sight of such a prodigy.
Page 85 - ... singular process by which this is effected we give in the words of Professor Owen. ' The ichneumon, by means of her peculiarly long, sharp, and slender ovipositor, pierces the skin of the larva, and in spite of its writhing and the ejection of an acrid fluid, she succeeds in introducing the instrument by which the ova are transmitted, and lodged under the skin ; she then flies off to seek another. Sometimes the female ichneumon, when she has found a larva, seems to take no notice of it, and in...
Page 166 - Metropolitan duties shut out much of the field of nature ; but still she may be found and studied everywhere. I first learned to appreciate the true nature and relations of the nominally various and distinct metamorphoses of insects, by watching and pondering over the development of a cockroach (also an orthopterous insect), which quits the egg as a crustacean.
Page 8 - The low diffusibility of albumen is very remarkable, and the value of this property in retaining the serous fluids within the blood-vessels at once suggests itself. It was further observed, that common salt, sugar and urea, added to the albumen under diffusion, diffused away from the latter as readily as from their aqueous solutions.
Page 8 - The corresponding salts of soda appeared to fall into a nitrate and sulphate group also, which have the same relation to each other as the potash salts. The relation of the salts of potash to those of soda, in times of equal diffusibility, appeared to be as the square root of 2 to the square root of 3 ; which gives the relation in density of their diffusion molecules, as 2 to 3. Hydrate of potash and sulphate of magnesia were less fully examined, but the first presented sensibly double the diffusibility...
Page 157 - Agreeing thus far with Dr. King, I am compelled to differ with him entirely as to the readiest mode of reaching that coast, because I feel satisfied that, with the resources of the expedition now equipping under Sir James Ross, the energy, skill and intelligence of that officer will render it a matter of no very difficult enterprise to examine the coast in question, either with his ships, boats, or...
