Each lamp shines brightest when placed by itself; when too close, they neutralise each other. November 17.
But there was another condition which should not be overlooked. The best telescope may be crippled by a bad situation. The larger it is, indeed, the more helpless is it to cope with atmospheric troubles. These are the worst plagues of all those that afflict the astronomer. No mechanical skill avails to neutralise or alleviate them.
"It is too late," said Dumouriez: "your refusal would display fears too well founded, but which we must take care not to betray to our enemies.

But, though the act was in itself good, he was sensible of no responsive warmth, no glow of satisfaction. The transaction left him cold; left him, indeed, a prey to disgust.

The mere thought that in this clever man's mind were two lines, equally strong and opposite, was in itself so consoling as to neutralise my anxiety as to a new attack.
