In these missions there are not only 10,000 day schools, with their 375,000 scholars, besides 30,000 youth who are in the 307 higher institutions. There are also thousands of young men and women, in many institutions, undergoing careful preparation as teachers and preachers.
As every prisoner was brought out he inquired his name, his country, and his crime. The greater part were found guilty, hurled over the precipice, and shot below by musketeers sent there to despatch any one who still showed signs of animation, as many had escaped with life from the awful fall. Some 307 were put to death, and 91 reserved for another day.
The number of passenger journeys performed was 307 millions, which gives, in round numbers, one passenger killed for every three and a half millions that travelled. In the best mail and stage-coaching days the yearly number of travellers was about two millions. The present railway death-rate applied to this number amounts to a little more than one-half of a unit!
A large salt-cellar was placed in the middle of the table: guests of importance sat "above the salt," inferior guests below. Abundant illustrations are given in Nares' Glossary. A large coach: the derivation of the word is uncertain. The next word is illegible in the MS. We should have expected "Exeunt Fer., Man., & attendants." Vid. vol. i. 307. The schoolmen's term for the confines of hell.
After we had passed the Longitude of 307 degrees we began to find the Effects of the Westerly Currents, for in 3 days our Error in Longitude was 1 degree 5 minutes; its Velocity kept increasing as we got to the Westward, in so much that for 5 days successively, after we had made the land, we were drove to the South-West or South-West by West by the Currents not less than 20 Leagues a day; and this continued until we were within 60 or 70 Leagues of the Cape, where we found the Current to set sometimes one way and sometimes another, but mostly to the Westward.
In the learned and able article on 'Jesse's Richard III., at p. 307, Lingard is referred to as having quoted the commission of the High Constable. I have scanned every line and every word of Lingard and find no such commission. But in a note to the third volume of Hume, note R, the commission is given verbatim from Rymer.
Josiah Stanford, a brother of Leland Stanford, lived on the south side of Jackson street, just below the Tevis home. Here is as good a place as any to give my readers a short account of the Clay Street Hill Underground Cable Railroad, which operated on Clay street from Leavenworth to Kearny streets, a distance of seven blocks, and at an elevation of 307 feet above the starting point.
Journ. of Sc., vol. i., p. 381; also Phil. Jour. Brit. Astr. Roy. Roy. Brit. Astr. Roy. Jour., vol. xxix. Astr. Ass., vol. ii., p. 386; Miss E. Brown, Ibid., p. 210; Month. Roy. Society, vol. lii., p. 307; Rev. W. Sidgreaves, Mem. Baxendell, of Manchester, reached independently a similar conclusion. See Month.
