Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Berkshire Parish Registers, Vol. 1: Marriages The present volume is the first of a series which the Editor hopes may be continued until all the Parish Registers of Berkshire have been printed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Berkshire Medical Journal, 1861, Vol. 1: Devoted to the Interests of Rational Medicine The only point in the anatomy of diphtheria not yet specially described, is an inflammation of the salivary glands and the neigh boring lymphatics, which arises in a large proportion of the cases. At first it is merely a congestion, succeeding the first symptoms by several days, which in moderate cases may subside without inflammation. But in grave cases, the submaxillary and parotid glands, and sometimes also some of the cervical glands, become immensely enlarged and softened, and the surrounding areolar tissue infiltrated with pus - the whole producing one large. Uniform, doughy swelling, which fills up the neck to the level Of the jaw, or even extends beyond it. The pus is discharged finally through the skin, in cases which recover; in fatal cases; death usually occurs too early to allow it to point.

This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the American Berkshire Association, Vol. 1: July 1879 The mere Opinion, however, of an unknown writer in a matter of this kind, carries with it comparatively little weight. Without, therefore, attempt ing to enlarge upon the subject by giving my own views and experiences, I beg to call the attention of your readers to a few facts gathered from the val nable treatise on the Hog written by Hon. Thomas Pollard, Commissioner of Agriculture of Virginia. In 1878 Dr. Pollard issued a circular to the swine breeders of his State asking for information on the subject of Hog Raising. Replies were received from many of the best informed citizens in the com monwealth, and men of experience in business of breeding hogs for pork. From Dr. Pollard's summary of these replies we learn that the Berkshires are preferred to breed from by 33 per cent. Of those who replied. The re maining 67 dividing their preferences among four other varieties mentioned and the native stock. We learn further, that 79 per cent. Preferred the Berk shire and its crosses, while others liked various other crosses. Dr. Pollard says, a large majority prefer the Berkshire hogs, particularly the Berkshire boar for crossing on either common sows or on pure breeds of other varieties. Further on, the Dr. Remarks As to the kinds of hogs to raise and breed from, we must have something to say. If we desire to raise hogs to sell for breeding purposes, then we must raise the purest, most highly improved stock. If for pork, a mixed breed or grade will generally besit subserve our purpose. The preference of hog-breeders at this time in this country seems divided between the Berkshire, Essex, and Poland, some few preferring the Chester, and Jersey Red. In England the Suffolk is a very popular breed, some say the most so, though in this Country it has not much popularity. In Virginia, at this time, the Berkshire is undoubtedly the most popular, and appears in my judgment to possess the most good qualities. Gen. John M. Payne, of Lynchburg, Va. In his reply to Dr. Pollard's circular, says A good stock to start with IS all important; nearly half the battle I prefer the pure Berkshire which may justly be regarded as the standard breed of the day. The hogs of this breed are active, hardy and industrious; they mature at an early age and are remarkable for their fine bone and neatness of proportion. The sows are, as a rule, very prolific, and kind mothers; they give a great deal of milk, and the young pigs thrive and grow very rapidly.

Download or read book Berkshire Dictionary of Chinese Biography written by Kerry Brown and published by Berkshire Publishing Group. This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 1744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Berkshire Dictionary of Chinese Biography, the first publication of its kind since 1898, is the work of more than one hundred internationally recognized experts from nearly a dozen countries. It has been designed to satisfy the growing thirst of students, researchers, professionals, and general readers for knowledge about China. It makes the entire span of Chinese history manageable by introducing the reader to emperors, politicians, poets, writers, artists, scientists, explorers, and philosophers who have shaped and transformed China over the course of five thousand years. In 135 entries, ranging from 1,000 to 8,000 words and written by some of the world's leading China scholars, the Berkshire Dictionary of Chinese Biography takes the reader from the important (even if possibly mythological) figures of ancient China to Communist leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. The in-depth essays provide rich historical context, and create a compelling narrative that weaves abstract concepts and disparate events into a coherent story. Cross-references between the articles show the connections between times, places, movements, events, and individuals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Doctor Brady, Vol. 1 of 3 I see that monster of the deep yet: his speckled sides glistening with orange, red, and brown; his awful rows of teeth, his curving snout, his goggle eyes, and velvety dark red gills; and I remember, too, the roar of terror I gave, and the precipitate flight I made through the meadow from the spot where, with a sudden wriggle - recovering a moment's breath ere he died - he flopped his wet tail against my legs, and wa110pped in the long grass. I can remember, also, the face of an auburn-haired boy, striving to dash away the firm hand which sought to give an extra polish to its shining skin, reflected in the little mirror in my tiny bed-room, and the secret marches I used to make to gaze on the same portrait, wondering if it ever would be like Dan Macarthy, or old Dr. Noble, whom I had heard once informing the company after dinner that he was the image of me when he was of the same age.

Download or read book Poor Charlie s Almanack written by Charles T. Munger and published by Stripe Press. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the legendary vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, lessons in investment strategy, philanthropy, and living a rational and ethical life. “Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up,” Charles T. Munger advises in Poor Charlie’s Almanack. Originally published in 2005, this compendium of eleven talks delivered by the legendary Berkshire Hathaway vice-chairman between 1986 and 2007 has become a touchstone for a generation of investors and entrepreneurs seeking to absorb the enduring wit and wisdom of one of the great minds of the 20th and 21st centuries. Edited by Peter D. Kaufman, chairman and CEO of Glenair and longtime friend of Charlie Munger—whom he calls “this generation’s answer to Benjamin Franklin”—this abridged Stripe Press edition of Poor Charlie’s Almanack features a brand-new foreword by Stripe cofounder John Collison. Poor Charlie’s Almanack draws on Munger’s encyclopedic knowledge of business, finance, history, philosophy, physics, and ethics—and more besides—to introduce the latticework of mental models that underpin his rational and rigorous approach to life, learning, and decision-making. Delivered with Munger’s characteristic sharp wit and rhetorical flair, it is an essential volume for any reader seeking to go to bed a little wiser than when they woke up.
