Galle had thus before his, eyes a chart of all the stars which were visible in that part of the heavens at the time when the map was made. The advantage of such an assistance to the search could hardly be over-estimated. It at once gave the astronomer another method of recognising the planet besides that afforded by its possible possession of a disc.
In spite of his extreme cunning, he had over-estimated his own power of intrigue, and he had mismanaged his affairs.
In the first place Darwin has somewhat over-estimated it. By this method if a pigeon had doubled in dimensions while its breast-bone remained unaltered, the reduction would be put down as 100 per cent., whereas obviously the true reduction would be one-half, or 50 per cent. of what the bone should be.
They take up but little room in a trunk, but their value when you find yourself "a stranger in a strange land," cannot be over-estimated. IN this country men do not embrace each other, nor do they exchange kisses, while, unless amongst intimate friends, even the fair sex now dispense with demonstrative salutations.
Thus, at the present time, the income from stamps forms no inconsiderable item of the revenue; while it need scarcely be said that the advantages of the penny post, both to business men and the public generally, cannot be over-estimated.
"Personally, I know nothing of him," said Maryllia "I have never seen him at any of the functions in London, and I should imagine him to be a man who rather over-estimated himself. So many literary men do. That is why most of them are such terrible social bores."
For to start life with just as much as will make one independent, that is, allow one to live comfortably without having to work even if one has only just enough for oneself, not to speak of a family is an advantage which cannot be over-estimated; for it means exemption and immunity from that chronic disease of penury, which fastens on the life of man like a plague; it is emancipation from that forced labor which is the natural lot of every mortal.
On the whole, I should say that while missionaries are greatly over-condemned by Europeans residing in China, the good they do is over-estimated by people at home. Putting aside all criticism of missionaries themselves, the vital question is "Will they succeed in converting China to Christianity?"
The moral effect and its reaction upon those who conduct the proceedings the judges, officers, and the police, cannot but be deplorable; the evil done to those forcibly brought there could not be over-estimated. Substantially the law is that the women may not loiter in the streets nor solicit in the streets, or in any building open to the public.
It may be a rustic way of learning the elements of philosophy, but it answers its purpose, and does not interfere with more scientific and complete methods which may come later in order of time. The importance of the "discipline" of psychology can scarcely be over-estimated.
