With the erection of the first sundial in the Roman Forum in 491 the Greek hour (ora, -hora-) began to come into use at Rome: it happened, however, that the Romans erected a sundial which had been prepared for Catana situated four degrees farther to the south, and were guided by this for a whole century.

In old St. Pancras churchyard, now used as a playground, she has erected a sundial as a memorial to its illustrious dead.

Several noteworthy features may be seen, including a Saxon sundial from the original church.

It was, as I have said, about three by the sundial on the wall, the arch of which cast a shadow like jet on the scale, that my father came out through the narrow door from the Judgment Hall, opening it with his own key.

The great sundial over the door, bearing the date 1636, is scarcely less useful now than when it was placed there.

Instead of which, the Bassett was one of the group which included Aunt Dahlia and Uncle Tom and seemed to be busy trying to make Anatole see the bright side, while Angela and Gussie were, respectively, leaning against the sundial with a peeved look and sitting on the grass rubbing a barked shin.
