Page xiv - For Heaven's sake let us sit upon the ground, And tell sad stories of the death of kings: How some have been depos'd, some slain in war, Some haunted by the ghosts they have depos'd, Some poison'd by their wives, some sleeping kill'd, All murder'd.
Page 123 - Moral diameter from a Teacher in the last School or Institution at which he has studied, as far as the Teacher's opportunity of knowledge has extended. These Certificates shall be transmitted to the Registrar at least fourteen days before the Examination begins.
Page ccxxiii - If a straight line be divided into any two parts, the squares of the whole line, and of one of the parts, are equal to twice the rectangle contained by the whole and that part, together with the square of the other part.
