George Miller Beard Quotes

Before The General Use Of These Instruments Of Precision In Time, There Was A Wider Margin For All Appointments; A Longer Period Was Required And Prepared For, Especially In Travelling--- Coaches Of The Olden Period Were Not Expected To Start Like Steamers Or Trains, On The Instant--- Men Judged Of The Time By Probabilities, By Looking At The Sun, And Needed Not, As A Rule, To Be Nervous About The Loss Of A Moment, And Had Incomparable Fewer Experiences Wherein A Delay Of A Few Minutes Might Destroy The Hopes Of A Lifetime. A Nervous Man Cannot Take Out His Watch And Look At It When The Time For An Appointment Or Train Is Near, Without Affecting His Pulse, And The Effect On That Pulse, If We Could But Measure And Weigh It, Would Be Found To Be Correlated To A Loss To The Nervous System.
