An Expository Outline of the "Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation" With a Notice of the Author's "Explanations:" A Sequel to the Vestiges It may, however, be urged, that if the sidereal period of the moon be approximately a cycle of change, it would have been detected long ago. Outlines of a Mechanical Theory of Storms Containing the True Law of Lunar Influence Evidently the vital order is only an episode, a transient or secondary phase of matter in the process of sidereal evolution. The Breath of Life We used the telephones almost daily for taking time, and Simpson used to stand inside the hut at the sidereal clock whilst I took astronomical observations outside in the cold.

Outlines of a Mechanical Theory of Storms Containing the True Law of Lunar Influence Maybe the development of life, and its upward tendency toward higher and higher forms, is in some way the result of the ripening of the earth, its long steeping in the sea of sidereal influences. The Breath of Life To show distinctly the direction of the motion of the solar system, not only was a displacement of the sidereal perspective required, but profound mathematical knowledge, and a peculiar tact. Biographies of Distinguished Scientific Men The action of the sky on the earth is undeniable, and, the sidereal influences once admitted, all previsions based on them are legitimate. The Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism With senses as high-strung as ever, they still watched carefully for every new fact, every unexpected incident that might throw some light on the sidereal investigations. All Around the Moon We have now passed through one sidereal period of the moon. Outlines of a Mechanical Theory of Storms Containing the True Law of Lunar Influence But these conclusions, however vast their comprehension, carry us but another step forward in the realms of sidereal astronomy. The Uses of Astronomy An Oration Delivered at Albany on the 28th of July, 1856 In one of the earliest of Herschel's memoirs, we find, that the apparent sidereal diameters are proved to be for the greater part factitious, even when the best made telescopes are used.
