Page 138 - And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these good things.
Page 125 - The effort of the economist is to "see," to picture the interplay of economic elements. The more clearly cut these elements appear in his vision, the better; the more elements he can grasp and hold in his mind at once, the better. The economic world is a misty region. The first explorers used unaided vision. Mathematics is the lantern by which what before was dimly visible now looms up in firm, bold outlines. The old phantasmagoria disappear. We see better. We also see further.

Moreover, the lower genera are not merely equivalent to, or in exact parallelism with the early stages of the higher, but they express a permanent type of structure...
Page 60 - Labour affects supply, and supply affects the degree of utility, which governs value, or the ratio of exchange. In order that there may be no possible mistake about this all-important series of relations, I will restate it in a tabular form, as follows : — Cost of production determines supply. Supply determines final degree of utility. Final degree of utility determines value.
Page 121 - The chief use of pure mathematics in economic questions seems to be in helping a person to write down quickly, shortly and exactly, some of his thoughts for his own use: and to make sure that he has enough, and only enough, premisses for his conclusions (ie that his equations are neither more nor less in number than his unknowns).
Page 213 - Christi day afternoon, at procession passed through the principal streets of the city, wherein was borne more than one hundred torches of wax, costly garnished, burning light, and above two hundred clerks and priests, in surplices and copes, singing. After the which were the sheriffs...
Page 20 - If the two highways were inclined at 10° and 20° respectively, the "grades" have a ratio of 1-97 if measured by sines, of 2'OV by tangents, and exactly 2 by angles. For a long time philosophers could define and determine when two bodies were equally or unequally hot. But not till the middle of this century* did physicists attach a meaning to the phrase " twice as hot." It is here especially that exactitude has been hitherto lacking in mathematical economics. Jevons freely confesses that " We can...
