Sitting down, therefore, to the agreeable task, he went through the simple process of subtracting from it the amount for which he had just drawn, and, finding that he was still master of seven hundred and eighty-two thousand three hundred and eleven pounds odd shillings and even pence, he found a very natural consolation for the magnitude of the sum he had just given away, by comparing it with the magnitude of that which was left.
So that he that can add one to one, and so to two, and so go on with his tale, taking still with him the distinct names belonging to every progression; and so again, by subtracting an unit from each collection, retreat and lessen them, is capable of all the ideas of numbers within the compass of his language, or for which he hath names, though not perhaps of more.
To add one more example: those who assert, what no one has shown any real ground for believing, that there is in one human individual, one sex, or one race of mankind over another, an inherent and inexplicable superiority in mental faculties, could only substantiate their proposition by subtracting from the differences of intellect which we in fact see, all that can be traced by known laws either to the ascertained differences of physical organization, or to the differences which have existed in the outward circumstances in which the subjects of the comparison have hitherto been placed.
How many of us can say of our most intimate alter ego, leaving alone friends of the outer circle, that he is the man we should have chosen, as embodying the net result after adding up all the points in human nature that we love, and principles we hold, and subtracting all that we hate?
The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.5 and that of KCl is 74.6. The atomic weight of chlorine is 35.5. Then Solving these equations for x shows the weight of NaCl to be 0.0625 gram. The weight of KCl is found by subtracting this from 0.15. The above is one of the most common types of indirect analyses. Others are more complex but they can be reduced to algebraic expressions and solved by their aid.
But the modern improvements, as we call them, have multiplied the cares of housekeeping without subtracting its burdens, as they were expected to do.
"What an unspeakable boon what an overpowering blessing! Let any man make a calculation of his existence, subtracting the hours in which he has been thoroughly happy really and entirely at his ease, without one arriere pensee to mar his enjoyment without the most infinitesimal cloud to overshadow the brightness of his horizon.
Multiplying is not adding, that is to say it is adding and adding is not marking, adding is not bowing, adding is not laughing, adding is that which walking comes to be sitting and not expecting all of any attention. Adding is not complicating. Adding is teasing. Adding is a division of three and one and that would make four if all of adding was subtracting.
It will not be subtracting anything from this estimate, if I express my conviction, founded upon my own experience, that, though such may be the character of the law as an abstract science, it deserves no such encomium as it is ordinarily practised.
The edge of the sword clove the upper circumference of an iron link, leaving the severed ends gleaming like burnished silver, but the chain still held. Again and again the sword fell, but never twice in the same spot, anger adding strength to the blows, but subtracting skill. "My Lord! my Lord!" beseeched Richart, "restrain your fury.
