Side 105 - And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
Side 329 - British empire, a public institution for diffusing the knowledge and facilitating the general introduction of useful mechanical inventions and improvements, and for teaching, by courses of philosophical lectures and experiments, the application of science to the common purposes of life.
