...great desideratum of statisticians is some common method for presentation and tabulation of figures which can be used everywhere. In this way only can an exact comparison of wages be made. For purely economic purposes use can be made of "positions"--that is, using as a theoretic unit the laborer who works at standard wages for a standard length of time. For social purposes however, there can be no theory in the compilation of figures and we must consider the number of laborers and their time of labor strictly according to truth. When some uniform system has been used...

Tests for brightness are also made frequently with the eight inch Draper telescope...
...impulses of the Renaissance by the seventeenth century had lost hold on the artistic imagination in its creative faculty. English landscape painting was involved in mannerisms derived from the landscape backgrounds of the conventional historic figure painting. The Dutch landscape art, while free from these peculiarities and laboriously exact in portrayal of detail, was entirely unimaginative in its inattention to that most worthy of expression. During the early part of the nineteenth century, however, a new tendency appeared toward a more feeling expression of the various moods and aspects of nature. The men first in this movement were unfortunately limited...
...affirmation is untrue that according to Ruskin, perfection of art consists in exact imitation of nature. In the opening of "Modern Painters" he defines great art as that which conveys to the mind the greatest number of the greatest ideas, and he distinctly asserts later that there is a distinction to be drawn between representative art and art as such, in itself. In "Modern Painters," how- ever, Ruskin deals primarily with landscape painting, and landscape art, being a representative art, therefore needs to be truthful. Recognizing this, Ruskin attempts to vindicate Turner on the score of truth, although he nowhere...
