Holding the cardboard at arm's length, withdraw your hand, leaving the cardboard without support. What is the result? The cardboard, being heavier than air, and having nothing to sustain it, will fall to the ground. Pick it up and throw it, with considerable force, against the wind edgewise.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
