There is also a tablet in the church to Hannah More, who resided at Barley Wood, a large house on the Redhill road. Writhlington, a small colliery village on a hill 1 m. E. of Radstock. The church, rebuilt in 1874, lies in a valley at the bottom of a steep lane, half a mile from the village.
I had not heard of that when I wrote the letter of 1874, and to correct any misapprehension that might be created by omitting it I will say that at that time I was at Neosho, Kansas, with a drove of cattle, which I sold to Maj. Ray.
It is true the deficit of 1877 is £1,600,000, a sufficiently grave sum; but to judge the position fairly it is necessary to look at the budgets of former years. In 1874, "in consequence of rather too hasty investment of money in railways and other public works," the deficit was £6,000,700; in 1876 it had fallen to £3,100,000.

The philosophical character of such discussions does not need to be pointed out at length. "The Principles Of Science," London, 1874, Preface. English translation, New York, 1905. Second edition, London, 1900. THE QUESTION OF PRACTICAL UTILITY. Why should men study philosophy?

In January, 1874, he published, in the "Quarterly Journal of Science," a brief compend of the notes of his investigations during the four years preceding.
There were in 1874 one hundred and eight such signal stations as this, modest, inexpensive little offices, established over the United States, from the low sea-coast plains to the topmost peak of the Rocky Mountains.
