Stran 469 - An agreement or combination by two or more persons to do or procure to be done any act in contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute between employers and workmen shall not be indictable as a conspiracy if such act committed by one person would not be punishable as a crime.
Stran 462 - Can storied urn or animated bust Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? Can Honour's voice provoke the silent dust, Or Flattery soothe the dull cold ear of death?

Stran 514 - Now, in the first place, the very conception of consciousness, in whatever mode it may be manifested, necessarily implies distinction between one object and another. To be conscious, we must be conscious of something ; and that something can only be known as that which it is, by being distinguished from that which it is not. But distinction is necessarily limitation ; for, if one object is to be distinguished from another, it must possess some form of existence which the other has not, or it must...
Stran 518 - SECTIONS, may be formed by cutting the right C!. in different directions. If the C. be cut by a plane parallel to the base, the section is a circle: if the plane cut the C. across, making any...
Stran 514 - A second characteristic of Consciousness is, that it is only possible in the form of a relation. There must be a Subject, or person conscious, and an Object, or thing of which he is conscious. There can be no consciousness without the union of these two factors ; and, in that union, each exists only as it is related to the other. The subject is a subject, only in so far as it is conscious of an object : the object is an object, only in so far as it is apprehended by a subject : and the destruction...

The result is the same, whether we apply the process to limitation in space, in time, or in degree. The unconditional negation, and the unconditional affirmation of limitation, in other words, the infinite and the absolute, properly so...

Stran 515 - ... destruction of consciousness itself. It is thus manifest that a consciousness of the Absolute is equally self-contradictory with that of the Infinite. To be conscious of the Absolute as such, we must know that an object, which is given in relation to our consciousness, is identical with one which exists in its own nature, out of all relation to consciousness.
