Tait claims that surgical treatment, as exemplified by Biondi's experiment in removing portions of lung from animals, such as dogs, sheep, cats, etc., is not practical; he adds that his deductions are misleading, as the operation was done on healthy tissue and in deep and narrow-chested animals.
What says Craufurd Tait Ramage, LL.D.? "Their country life consists merely in breathing a different air, though in nothing else does it differ from the life they live in town." He notices things, does Ramage; and might, indeed, have elaborated this argument.
"Shameless, I call 'em!" exclaimed the incandescent housemaid as Tait signified assent. "'Aven't they kep' it dark, though!" wondered the cook. "They're what I call," stated Tait, who had not quite got over the desertion of the young woman he was to have married, and who had gone off with somebody else, "a precious downy couple. And what I say is it's a Riddance!"
And really it didn't seem the least likely.... Who was the officious instrument of Fate?" "Young Joe Bradley, of the Forests. We were talking of the riots and poor Major Desmond, and Mrs Tait happened to mention Roy Sinclair. Mr Bradley asked was he the artist's son; and told how he once went to tea there when his mother was staying with Lady Despard and had a stand-up fight with Roy.
By Jove!" he added under his breath, "here's another shell shock. Sit down, Cameron!" His voice took on a sterner tone. "Sit down. Don't be an ass!" Once more Colonel Tait took in hand the shell-shock man. This second was a stretcher case. The man was very violent, requiring two men to hold him on his stretcher. "Oh, let him go! Let him go!" said Colonel Tait.
The supply will be exhausted, it will be observed, when the mass comes into stable equilibrium as a solid body, no longer subject to contraction, about the sun's centre such a body, in short, as our earth is at present. This calculation was made by Lord Kelvin, Professor Tait, and others, and the result was one of the most truly dynamitic surprises of the century.
She has outlived earlier and later friends alike Lady Augusta Stanley and her husband, the beloved Dean of Westminster; the good and beautiful Duchess of Sutherland; the two eminent Scotchmen, Principal Tulloch and Dr. Macleod himself; and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Tait, with his charming wife.
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine and its rival Tatt's Magazine received a large number of contributions. The English Mail-Coach appeared in 1849 in Blackwood. Joan of Arc had already been published in Tait. De Quincey continued to drink laudanum throughout his life, twice after 1821 in very great excess. During his last years he nearly completed a collected edition of his works.
Adams, Thomson, and Tait work out this suggestion, and, "on a certain assumption as to the proportion of retardations due to the sun and the moon," find the earth may lose twenty-two seconds of time in a century from this cause.
Equally unfair, and equally insensible to all the appeals of religious fervour, is the article on Indian Missions, for which, fifty years after, Archbishop Tait found it hard to forgive him. Here again the artificial quaintness of religious phrase and thought gave him the necessary material for his fun.
