الصفحة 68 - that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, with a force whose direction is that of the line joining the two, and whose magnitude is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distances from each other.
الصفحة 6 - ... of creation, to hold out the cheering prospect of difficulties diminishing as we advance, instead of thickening around us in increasing complexity. (340.) A consequence of this immediate presentation of the law of definite proportions in its most general form is, that its subordinate laws — those which limit its generality in particular cases, which diminish the number of combinations abstractly possible, and restrain the indiscriminate mixture of elements, — remain to be discovered. Some...
الصفحة 15 - For instance, the reader after going through the Sulphur compounds, will know the reason, the why, these combinations are formed ; will have seen the cause, and the sufficiency of that cause to produce the effects ; and the single letter S will represent to his mind, not only the atomic weight and the equivalence of the element, but also the governing principles which subjects its own subordinates, and rules its relations with other compounds.
الصفحة 52 - Not thus shall be my search, proud element ; But I will take one of thy wondrous forms, One of thy grandest structures, and by the Potent agency of Heat, I will command Thy subordinates to fly from thee. — What art thou now ? Poor element I — Black as The shades of Night ; the slightest touch will crush Thee into powder, a mass devoid of Colour, form, or beauty. — Disclose thyself.
الصفحة 11 - All the separate atoms of the simple elements are condensations of hydrogen units, which, in their aggregation, have left out of equilibrium with the rest of the atom, either one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven, constituentunits, each of which are of the value of one free hydrogenunit.
الصفحة 7 - ... the Chemist will instantly recognise the true explanation of the phenomena so familiar to him, and at once perceive, that the problem of chemical combination is solved.
الصفحة 51 - Neath Summer skies, My nest lies hid amongst the flowers, where a Thousand beauteous forms and tints of colour, Grace and adorn my floral fairy-home.
الصفحة 6 - Dalton, in enunciating his theories, could not explain the secret and hidden governing principles which compel atomic-matter, when placed under the necessary conditions, to combine in definite proportions by weight, or, in a certain ratio of multiple proportions.
