Great Peace in Europe! order reigns

From Tiber’s hills to Danube’s plains;

The lying prophets of our day.

The tramp of measured marches hear,

Article #44 - On Vain Amusements

 

 Pocopson Literary Association

                 On Vain Amusements

 

To me there is nor charm nor joy

            In music’s softest strain,

Nor in the wanton, giddy round

            Of pleasure’s festal train.

 

My soul they seem to bear away

            Into “some distant land”

Where “e’en the husks the swine did eat”

Article #43 - Why do not all unite in an effort to promote the objects of education?

 

Article #42 - What is the reason that iron becomes heated by being hammered?

 

   It is a well known fact that when bodies pass from a dense to a ?? rare state, their capacity for caloric or heat is increased, heat is consequently absorbed, and cold is produced, but when bodies pass from a soft to a hard state, their capacity for caloric or heat is diminished, consequently the heat which was before latent, is thrown off and becomes sensible, when air is compressed forcibly in a tube the heat which was before latent becomes sensible, because the condensation lessens its capacity for caloric.
