Sayfa 155 - It is likewise ordered that muskett bulletts, of a full boare, shall pass currantly for a farthing a-piece, provided that noe man be compelled to take above XII pence att a tyme in them.
Sayfa 51 - We have supposed Mr. Rittenhouse second to no astronomer living: that in genius he must be the first, because he is self-taught. As an artist he has exhibited as great a proof of mechanical genius as the world has ever produced. He has not indeed made a world; but he has by imitation approached nearer its Maker than any man who has lived from the creation to this day.
Sayfa 215 - A Description of ancient and modern coins in the cabinet collection at the Mint of the United States, Philadelphia, 1860.

The strong and skillful warrior prides himself on being able to cut an opponent in half if he can get a chance for a fair blow.

Sayfa 79 - ... this slip, which is placed beneath the others in throwing, corresponded with the atlatl. Comparison of the banded sticks with a prehistoric throwing-stick from a Cliff Dweller in Colorado led to my conclusion that the banded sticks (of the gaming sets) actually represented the atlatl, the crossmarks perpetuating the crossed wrappings for attachment of its finger-loops. The Cliff Dweller atlatl has finger-loops of leather, which are cross-wrapped on both sides of the shaft. It is also wrapped...
Sayfa 232 - The object of the bulletin, which will be published four times a year, or as frequently as occasion may require, is the publication of new material acquired by the Museum, with accounts of explorations conducted by the Museum, and original investigations based upon its collections. The present issue contains NATURE articles by Dr. DE Brinton, entitled "The Pillars of Ben" and "The So-called ' Bow- Puller,'" besides brief notes on collections and publications.
Sayfa 49 - Canada; and a Certificate for the said Sum, being drawn at the Table, was signed by the Speaker.
