" We set to work then in the roaring, steaming valley with the vapour swirling about us, sometimes concealing us, sometimes half revealing us gigantic, again in the utterness of exposure showing us dwindled pigmies against the magnitudes about us.

And beings are terminated by multitudes and magnitudes.

Some, indeed, have denied, that there is any such thing, because different ages and nations have entertained different sentiments concerning it; but this is just as reasonable, as to assert, that there are neither sun, moon, nor stars, because astronomers have supported different systems of the motions and magnitudes of these celestial bodies.

His addition to science, if he made any, was in treating the magnitudes and distances of the planets.

Aristarchus left a treatise "On the Magnitudes and Distances of the Sun and Moon;" and his methods to measure the apparent diameters of the sun and moon are considered theoretically sound by modern astronomers, but practically inexact owing to defective instruments.

Natures Secrets; or the admirable and wonderful History of the generation of Meteors; discribing the Temperatures of the Elements, the heights, magnitudes, and influences of Stars; the causes of Comets, Earthquakes, Deluges, Epidemical Diseases and Prodigies of precedent times, with presages of the weather, and Descriptions of the Weather-glass: by T. Wilsford.

Thus he that has got the ideas of numbers, and hath taken the pains to compare one, two, and three, to six, cannot choose but know that they are equal: he that hath got the idea of a triangle, and found the ways to measure its angles and their magnitudes, is certain that its three angles are equal to two right ones; and can as little doubt of that, as of this truth, that, It is impossible for the same thing to be, and not to be.

Mag. of numerical values of Vulgar Fractions, when arranged in a series of consecutive magnitudes.

For magnitudes alone are knowable; wherever it is impossible to measure and count, to determine force mathematically, there rigorous, exact science ceases.

Where matter is, there is geometry; the latter is older than the world and as eternal as the divine Spirit; magnitudes are the source of things.

This aims to be an exact science of the relations between body and mind, and to reach indirectly what Herbart failed to reach by direct methods, that is, a measurement of psychical magnitudes, using in this attempt the least observable differences in sensations as the unit of measure.

Hence the Theory of Incommensurable Magnitudes was omitted, though, as the author himself said in the Preface, to do so rendered the work incomplete, and, from a logical point of view, valueless.

It is unfortunate for the peace of mind of the statistician that the influences by which the magnitudes, etc., of the objects are determined can seldom if ever be roundly classed into large and small, without intermediates.

I should say that not a few mental calculators work by bulks rather than by numerals; they arrange concrete magnitudes symmetrically in rank and file like battalions, and march these about.

"It is essential to all magnitudes, to be in one place.

One is liable to underestimate the width of crevasses where the magnitudes in general are great, I therefore stared at this one mighty keenly, estimating its width and the shape of the edge on the farther side, until I thought that I could jump it if necessary, but that in case I should be compelled to jump back from the lower side I might fail.

Listen to our astronomers talk about the magnitudes and disunites and composition of the stars, and compare with their story that which was written in the astronomy of a few centuries ago.

All these were no larger than when they had shone on earth, but the little stars that one scarce sees shone now against the setting of black vacancy as brightly as the first-magnitudes had done, while the larger worlds were points of indescribable glory and colour.

[HONEYCOMB] in a Visit to a Lady of his Acquaintance: We were no sooner sat down, but upon casting my Eyes about the Room, I found in almost every Corner of it a Print that represented the Doctor in all Magnitudes and Dimensions.

Every kind of Animal is diversified by different Magnitudes, each of which gives rise to a different Species.

In this manner pieces of money are provided suitable for transactions of different magnitudes, down to small fractional amounts.

In trying to describe the great pines and sequoias of the Sierra, I have often thought that if one of those trees could be set by itself in some city park, its grandeur might there be impressively realized; while in its home forests, where all magnitudes are great, the weary, satiated traveler sees none of them truly.

The voyagers were amid magnitudes and sublimities of nature which oppressed as if they were powers and principalities of supernature.

A thousand eddies, whirls, and ebullitions of all magnitudes appeared only to disappear.

He also made numerous observations on the intensities and comparative magnitudes of its satellites.
