Beal says on this: "General Cunningham, who visited the spot , found a pillar, evidently of the age of Asoka, with a well-carved elephant on the top, which, however, was minus trunk and tail. He supposes this to be the pillar seen by Fa-Hsien, who mistook the top of it for a lion. That is, in niches on the sides. The pillar or column must have been square. Equivalent to "all through."
But adopting this name, the two Chinese characters in the text should be translated "the change into Sama." Remusat gives for them, "la transformation en eclair;" Beal, in his first version, "his appearance as a bright flash of light;" Giles, "as a flash of lightning."
It is connected with the Cumbric bal, a protuberance, a springing forth; with the Celtic beul or beal, a mouth; with the old English welle, a fountain; with the original name of Italy, still called by the Germans Welschland; with Balkan and Vulcan, both of which signify a casting out, an eruption; with Welint or Wayland, the name of the Anglo-Saxon god of the forge; with the Chaldee val, a forest, and the German wald; with the English bluff, and the Sanscrit palava startling assertions, no doubt, at least to some; which are, however, quite true, and which at some future time will be universally acknowledged so to be.
Beal expected, and Jack studied hard all summer, so as to get as far ahead as possible by the time school should begin in the autumn. The new teacher who was employed to take the Greenbank school in the autumn was a young man from college. Standing behind the desk hitherto occupied by the grim-faced Mr. Ball, young Williams looked very mild by contrast.
There is an astonishing amount to be learned from naked branches, and, if pursued in the right way, the study will be found exceedingly interesting. Professor Beal, in his pamphlet on the New Botany, says: "Before the first lesson, each pupil is furnished or told where to procure some specimen for study.
Boylston Beal, a lawyer of Boston, assisted by Mr. Rivington Pyne of New York, was at the head of this department, of which later the Honourable John B. Jackson, formerly our Minister to the Balkan States, Greece and Cuba, took charge.
Dudley looked at the paper without understanding just what it was, and, without giving her any further explanation, but only a warning to secrecy, Jack made off to the lawyer's office. "Where did you get this?" asked Mr. Beal. "I promised not to mention his name I mean the name of the one who gave me that.
Beal, on Protoplasm, p. 104 to 107, says, "Living matter overcomes gravitation and resists and suspends chemical affinity." He adds, "It is in direct opposition to chemical affinities that organized beings exist." What power is that which lies behind chemical affinities, and controls them with direct reference to organic being? Will some bold unbeliever answer?
Watters had to judge of the comparative merits of the versions of Beal and Giles, and pronounce on the many points of contention between them. I have endeavoured to eschew those matters, and have seldom made remarks of a critical nature in defence of renderings of my own. The Chinese narrative runs on without any break. It was Klaproth who divided Remusat's translation into forty chapters.
Dudley is very positive that she will not sell the claim at any price." "I'll make a mortgage to my brother on that land, and send it off from the mail-boat as I go down to-morrow," said Gray. "That'll be too late," said Tinkham. "Beal will have his judgment recorded as soon as the packet gets there.
