friendship nor gratitude, but because you are the only man (I beg
your pardon) worth a damn. I shall write to a third friend, now I
think of it, whose father will have great influence.
I find here (of all places in the world) your ESSAYS ON ART, which
I have read with signal interest. I believe I shall dig an essay
of my own out of one of them, for it set me thinking; if mine could
only produce yet another in reply, we could have the marrow out
between us.
I hope, my dear sir, you will not think badly of me for my long
silence. My head has scarce been on my shoulders. I had scarce

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall: that magnetic induction caused in them a contrary state to that
which it produced in ordinary matter.' That is to say, while in
ordinary magnetic influence the exciting pole excites adjacent to
itself the contrary magnetism, in diamagnetic bodies the adjacent
magnetism is the same as that of the exciting pole. This theory of
reversed polarity, however, does not appear to have ever laid deep
hold of Faraday's mind; and his own experiments failed to give any
evidence of its truth. He therefore subsequently abandoned it, and
maintained the non-polarity of the diamagnetic force.
He then entered a new, though related field of inquiry. Having
dealt with the metals and their compounds, and having classified all

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Baby Mine by Margaret Mayo: heaven!" she exclaimed, then crossed quickly to the bassinette
and deposited her charge.
In the meantime, having thrown discretion to the wind, Zoie had
