Idiosyncrasy

Habits and individualities

by Charles Grant Allen, Ely Van de Warker ...

Every man, in the true Greek sense of the term, is an idiosyncrasy. He is a syncrasis, because he derives all his attributes, physical or mental, from two parents, or four grandparents, or eight great-grandparents, and so forth. But at the same time he is an idio-syncrasis, because that particular mixture is eminently unlikely ever to have occurred before, or ever to occur again, even in his own ... Read more

Ancient Egypt and Discoveries in Egypt, Ethiopia and the Peninsula of Sinai, in the Years 1842-1845, During the Mission Sent Out by His Majesty, Frederick William IV of Prussia

by George Rawlinson & Richard Lepsius ...

In shape Egypt is like a lily with a crooked stem. A broad blossom terminates it at its upper end; a button of a bud projects from the stalk a little below the blossom, on the left-hand side. The broad blossom is the Delta, extending from Aboosir to Tineh, a direct distance of a hundred and eighty miles, which the projection of the coast—the graceful swell of the petals—enlarges to two hundred and ...
