Excerpt: ...anything, but they add to it a sort of proof, and as that proof is a practical one, and involves their own interests, it is the more worthy of attention. They return the kuckroo, which they have searched with the greatest care, back into the mine, in order to produce more diamonds; and they add that, after it has lain undisturbed for fifteen or sixteen years, they open it again with precisely the same chance of success, as if they opened a portion that had never before been touched. There is no reason why they should misrepresent the facts, because they can have no inducement to do so; and if they did not find the fresh turning of the same gravel productive, of course they would let it alone. This is a subject upon which it is impossible to come to any conclusion, because we know nothing of the process by which diamond is formed. We know, however, that it is pure carbon, or charcoal; that when burnt, it combines with oxygen, and a portion of pure carbonic acid, exactly equal in weight to the diamond and oxygen consumed, is the result. This being the case, we are quite sure that, if we could take a quantity of pure carbonic acid, and abstract from it all the oxygen that it contains, the remainder would be exactly the same substance as diamond; and as we know of no form under which carbon exists in nature, pure and unmixed with any other substance, but that of diamond, analogy would lead us to suppose that, if we could but abstract the oxygen from pure carbonic acid, 'the result would be diamond itself, in all its hardness and brilliancy. Now the colouring matter that is found in all diamond gravels is an oxide of some sort or other; it containsoxygen, and, therefore, the metal, or metal and alkali united, that enters into this oxyd, ...

Download or read book The Notebooks of Samuel Taylor Coleridge written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1957 with total page 888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final volume of Bollingen Series L covers the material Coleridge wrote in his notebooks between January 1827 and his death in 1834. In these years, Coleridge made use of the notebooks for his most sustained and far-reaching inquiries, very little of which resulted in publication in any form during his lifetime. Twenty-eight notebooks are here published in their entirety for the first time; entries dated 1827 or later from several more notebooks also appear in this volume. Following previous practice for the edition, notes appear in a companion volume. Coleridge's intellectual interests were wide, encompassing not only literature and philosophy but the political crises of his time, scientific and medical breakthroughs, and contemporary developments in psychology, archaeology, philology, biblical criticism, and the visual arts. In these years, he met and conversed with eminent writers, scholars, scientists, churchmen, politicians, physicians, and artists. He planned a major work on Logic (still unpublished at his death), and an outline of Christian doctrine, also unfinished, though his work toward this project contributed to On the Constitution of the Church and State (1830) and the revised Aids to Reflection (1831). The reader of these notebooks has the opportunity to see what one of the most admired minds of the English-speaking world thought on several issues--such as race and empire, science and medicine, democracy (particularly in reaction to the Reform Bills introduced in 1831 and 1832), and the authority of the Bible--when he wrote without fear of public disapprobation or controversy.
