I went on eating my dinner pretty sullenly, affecting not to mind him. But the dog was so very comical, that I was obliged to lay down my knife and fork, throw myself back upon my chair, and fairly laugh it out. No, Sir, he was irresistible.* He upon one occasion experienced, in an extraordinary degree,...
Page 15 - The impregnable position of science may be described in a few words. We claim, and we shall wrest from theology, the entire domain of cosmological theory.
