More than a hundred different figures of snow-flakes, all regular and kaleidoscopic, have been drawn by Scoresby, Lowe, and Glaisher, and may be found pictured in the encyclopaedias and elsewhere, ranging from the simplest stellar shapes to the most complicated ramifications.
In the Astor Library, over six hundred volumes were discovered to have been mutilated, including art works, Patent office reports, magazines, newspapers, and even encyclopaedias. The books stolen from that library had been many, until several exposures and punishment of thieves inspired a wholesome dread of a similar fate.
We don't want our minister's children sitting round on dictionaries and encyclopaedias." The minister had come to them, a lone bachelor, with kind, absent eyes and the faculty of making himself beloved. For six years they had taken care of him and loved him watched over his outgoings and his incomings and forgiven all his absent-mindednesses.

Davitt held his hand before them longer than necessary on the church steps. Mr. Hopper was not sentimental. However fascinating the subject, I do not propose to make a whole book about Eliphalet.
