Side 259 - ... neither was it confined to a momentary view, for, from the time that Stricket first observed it, the appearance must have lasted at least two hours and a half, viz. from half-past seven, till the night coming on prevented the farther view ; nor yet was the distance such as could impose rude resemblance on the eyes of credulity — Blakehills lay not half a mile from the place where this astonishing appearance seemed to be, and many other places where it was likewise seen are still nearer. " Desirous...
Side 251 - ... individual cataract, excepting the great Fall of the Rhine at Schaffhausen, is diminished by the general fury of the stream of which it is a part. Recurring to the reflections from still water, I will describe a singular phenomenon of this kind of which I was an eyewitness.
