be permissible to state that this conversational article on Time was intended to be readable and somewhat instructive; but especially to indicate the infinity of the subject, that thought and investigation might be encouraged. * * * * * * Transcriber's note: Original spelling and grammar have mostly been retained. However, on page 31, "clepsydral" was changed to "clepsydra". Figures were moved from within paragraphs to between paragraphs. In addition, some figures were originally out of numerical sequence; they are now in sequence.
