  1 I  |         submission to you, we will take such course as you may think
  2 I  |          power or force? Suppose I take this sheet of paper, and
  3 I  |          from the former; or, if I take now this bit of shell-lac [
  4 I  |             or in a bag (for I may take hold of the air by inclosing
  5 I  |           of the two; but if I now take some water and pour it in,
  6 I  |         have here! And again, if I take this metal [a bar of aluminium3
  7 I  |      taking a small ivory ball, we take a mountain, and put a ball
  8 I  |           at the outset and I must take care not to leave anything
  9 I  |          and, first of all, I will take as illustration a piece
 10 I  |         the balance down, and if I take it off, the balance goes
 11 I  |          of gravity. Now suppose I take a sheet of pasteboard, or
 12 I  |         hand before us, and I then take a piece of thread and an
 13 I  |            all we have to do is to take another place for the awl
 14 I  |         cross each other; and if I take that pasteboard and make
 15 I  |         the left side, and quietly take up the right leg, and thus
 16 I  |            to succeed? Why this. I take a stick, and put it in the
 17 I  |        when I was a boy. I used to take a piece of cork (and I remember
 18 I  |            them]; and if, again, I take a feather and an ivory ball,
 19 I  |           be their size.~I can not take a better illustration of
 20 I  |       piece of gold leaf. Now if I take a lump of gold and this
 21 I  |          air is excluded; for if I take a piece of gold leaf and
 22 I  |       experiment of the same kind. Take a penny piece, or a half
 23 I  |         for which, I think, I must take up a little time at our
 24 II |          Earth itself - or I might take the Earth itself as the
 25 II |        that bodies are apart. If I take one of these balls and place
 26 II |           own size; but now let me take this card, E, which is equal
 27 II |            more gradual, suppose I take a few iron particles [dropping
 28 II |            now to illustrate. If I take a piece of flint, and strike
 29 II |       separate particles; for if I take these portions of glass
 30 II |       going to show you that if we take this powdered alum and some
 31 II |         degree changed, for I will take this red body, and apply
 32 II |           will remain so; but if I take any hard substance, and
 33 II |      Rupert's drop," 10], and if I take one of these little tear-like
 34 II |        glass vessels] 11, and if I take one of these glass vessels
 35 II |           glass into it (or I will take some of these small pieces
 36 II |        curious ways. And suppose I take some things that are held
 37 II |        more minutely. I will first take a bit of glass, and if I
 38 II |           or form. But supposing I take some other thing - this
 39 II |         some injury. But now, if I take it by the edges, I find
 40 II |        shall see what happens if I take this piece of salt and break
 41 II |           recommend each of you to take a piece home, and then you
 42 II |       piece home, and then you can take a knife and try to divide
 43 II |            want you, therefore, to take a lesson in the way in which
 44 II |        more complicated); but if I take this piece of glass, B [
 45 II |          and, first of all, I will take a piece of mica. Here, you
 46 II |           are each of you going to take a little piece home. [The
 47 II |           straining, or whether we take other means, we get the
 48 III|   destroying it altogether. I will take this piece of iron [a rod
 49 III|           a very good substance to take as an illustration (as philosophers
 50 III|            illustrate this: I will take a red hot ball of iron [
 51 III|         our command, it still must take the necessary quantity of
 52 III|           and in this case it will take the heat from the tray,
 53 III|           of plate glass, and then take another plate of glass and
 54 III|        side to side; and yet, if I take hold of the upper plate
 55 III|           another experiment. If I take a little soap and water -
 56 III|   experiment with soap bubbles, to take care to have every thing
 57 III|          blow a bubble too, I will take a plate with a little of
 58 III|          can not. And it I were to take an oil vessel this plan
 59 III|    remaining behind. I want now to take you another step beyond.
 60 III|        together, and I am about to take some other (any other liquid
 61 III|      attraction, that if I were to take a portion of water a cubic
 62 III|          to understand that, if we take water as an illustration,
 63 III|         water into vapor; and if I take a little vessel (E), and
 64 III|           is combustible; for if I take this small vessel to a light,
 65 III|        have in these wires; and if take an inverted tube of water
 66 III|         does not burn, it does not take fire as the hydrogen would;
 67 III|            on! Again, if I were to take this wax taper and light
 68 III|            by air and oxygen. If I take this ring flame, I can shake,
 69 IV |            I think you will see it take fire - not with a bright
 70 IV |         from the other; and I will take as illustrations these very
 71 IV |          in this respect; for if I take a piece of platinum of that
 72 IV |         chemically combined, is to take up first this liquid condition
 73 IV |          water without knowing it. Take a candle, for instance,
 74 IV |        some of the phenomena which take place when we make different
 75 IV |           have chemical attraction take place. I will pour the two
 76 IV |         the carbon did. And I will take some lead, and show you
 77 IV |             Now these pieces, if I take them to-day and press them
 78 IV |      scissors and that lead do not take fire while they are lying
 79 IV |           I expect you will see it take fire at once. This has been
 80 IV |            from acting.~I must now take you a little father in this
 81 IV |            chemical affinity. If I take a piece of phosphorus and
 82 IV |            make them hot enough to take fire; and such things have
 83 IV | immediately took fire.] And if you take a smooth metal button stuck
 84 IV |         pressure of air. Suppose I take a pellet of cotton and moisten
 85 IV |        into a glass tube, and then take a piston and press it down
 86 V  |          friction, and which I may take away as easily by drawing
 87 V  |        another substance; for if I take a glass rod, and rub it
 88 V  |            to another fact. I will take this piece of shellac, and
 89 V  |            move easily, and I will take another piece of shellac,
 90 V  |          of shellac as before, and take this piece of glass and
 91 V  |          my purpose; and suppose I take this other piece of shellac,
 92 V  |        other piece of shellac, and take away the power, which I
 93 V  |            the hand; and suppose I take a piece of flannel, which
 94 V  |            it is nothing; but if I take them apart, and then ask
 95 V  |           power. When you go home, take a stick of sealing-wax -
 96 V  |            indicator of this sort. Take a watch-glass (or your watch
 97 V  |      easily moved centre; and if I take this lath and put it on
 98 V  |       easily moved round; and if I take this piece of sealing-wax
 99 V  |   extraordinary power). And let us take one of these artificial
100 V  |           attraction resides? If I take this bar and balance it
101 V  |      instead of a piece of iron, I take a magnet, and examine it
102 V  |           but repulsion; but, if I take the other end of the magnet
103 V  |        power of attraction. If you take a needle, and just draw
104 V  |           the conductor with it, I take away a little of the electricity.
105 V  |           in this brass, and I can take it away and carry it about,
106 V  |            to think of.~I must now take up a little of your time
107 V  |            bar of copper; and if I take a spirit lamp (this is one
108 V  |    compared with electricity. If I take cylinders of wood and metal,
109 V  |            be burned. And so, if I take a piece of wood and a piece
110 V  |      phosphorus on the copper will take fire before that on the
111 V  | astonishing. I will, first of all, take these pieces of glass and
112 V  |  experiments I will show you. If I take this piece of brass and
113 V  |          cylinder. And again: if I take a rod of metal and touch
114 V  |         that more clearly, we will take one of our Leyden jars.
115 V  |         subject too much, but if I take a piece of metal and bring
116 V  |     through this; and if I were to take a long metallic wire, no
117 V  |       power of electricity. I will take a Leyden jar, or any other
118 VI |          two instances, because to take in the whole extent of this
119 VI |        over that zinc, it does not take away its power of decomposing
120 VI |         years, and no action would take place; but, by putting them
121 VI |            the two metals. I might take, instead of the platinum,
122 VI |       metal, then the action would take place, and it would become
123 VI |           as I have shown there, I take another, and another, and
124 VI |     consider what is this spark. I take these two ends and bring
125 VI |          this place. I am about to take a portion of the zinc and
126 VI |         not act. We may absolutely take these two charcoal poles
127 VI |     combustible, and I am going to take one of them, a small platinum
128 VI |           another instance. I will take a piece of the metal silver,
129 VI |     combustion or heat, but I will take these two platinum plates,
130 VI |     instance of chemical action. I take these platinum plates again
