chap I<annot=1>
	mamma said Lucy papa has gone out to town earlyer than usual. Has he any business more to do.”
	Yes Lucy he has more to do because he has got to go to town and then into the city and then to the docks and you know that that takes up more time than plain going to town.
	Yes mamma. But I wonder what my white rabbit is doing all this while.
	I should think it is wondering what is become of you said her mother.”
	I’ll go and see it said Lucy.
	you cannot in the rain said her mother.
	oh is it raining cried Lucy I am very sorry for I have so many things to do. but however I have plenty of things to do in the house as well said Lucy[!]”
	yes you have answered her mother.
	But may I draw that head which I was drawing last night said Lucy[?]”
	yes but had not you better go on with that landscape which you were doing last week do one thing at once.
	Yes mamma said Lucy but how comes this pencils are lost.”
	That is very odd indeed for I know that from your your youth you never lost any thing said her mother.
	Yes said Lucy. but they are certainly gone for where could it they have gone but in the sideboard and they are not there[?]”
	but I have found them cried her mother
	have you cried Lucy where were they
	in the oddest thing said her mother
	But where said Lucy.
	in my workbox[!]”
	well done you think that this is pretty well done said Lucy[?]”
	Yes.”
	Now I will run out and refresh myself a little now it has done raining said Lucy.”
	Yes my dear said her mother and I will go and see my white rabbit said Lucy.
	Well I think I have been out enough said Lucy[!]”
	Yes my dear said her mother
	Now mamma here is dinner.
	mamma my white rabbit has got young ones said Lucy and they are such pretty ones one black and white and another red and white and another quite white in short of all colours[!]”
	and how many in number said her mother.
	ten said Lucy.
	And eleven in all said her mother
	Yes said Lucy eleven.”
	Well you are getting a fine stock plainly said her mother.
	Yes mamma I am.”
	But we ought to break off this discourse about your rabbits and get that of your silkworms said her mother. How are they getting on.”
	very well said Lucy one of them has spun a great deal of silk.”
	have any of them spun all they are going to spin said her mother
	Yes said Lucy three of them[!]”
	thats a great deal said her mother  let us go and wind it all on winders.”
	Yes said Lucy so we will.”
	how long do you think it will take to wind one ball said her mother.”
	two hours said Lucy.
	three said her mother and how many will three threes make said her mother
	nine said Lucy.
	so nine whole hours must be spent upon these hours balls said her mother.
	Yes said Lucy.
	Well these are very large balls said her mother[!]”
	Yes said Lucy[!]”
	mamma when we were at the seaside we were told that the thread of the silk worms was two or three miles in length.”
	Yes said her mother and is not that a good length[?]”
	Yes said Lucy.”
	Well I think we have had thought enough for the present said her mother.”
	I have just two or three questions to ask you more said Lucy mother
	Well said Lucy how thin is the thinnest of the threads which spin si silkworms spin.
	I do not my dear know
	Very well said Lucy
	What is your next question my dear
	what is the size of the thickest thread as thin as a spiders

chap II
	Papa by this time had come home and Lucy then marched up to him and said papa would you be so good as to hear me my lessons.”
	I will if I have time my dear but I fear I shall not have time.”
	Very well said Lucy. Not in the mornings. But in the evenings you will. And would you be so good as to hear me my lesson now.
	Yes I will Lucy answered her father.”
	Lucy said her lesson very well and after that her mother said[: “]I was wondering what made Lucy not come to say her lesson to me and now I find out the cause.”
	Yes said her father.
	Well Lucy you have said your lesson very well and in reward for so doing after church you shall take a very pleasant walk with me said her mother.
	and now Lucy has gone to bed and we shall have time to attend to harry whose history we have hitherto forgot.”
	in the last volumes of harry and Lucy my young readers may recollect that harrys father said he would take him into town to see the apparatus for making ice and harry had been with his father to see this apparratus.”
	the apparatus was a very large airpump and harry looking in saw large pieces of ice in it. He said he could not explain it to Lucy because he did not see that part of the apparatus which made the ice.”
	Lucy said she did not mind losing that only that she wished harry would go on with science.
	harry said he would and the moment that I have time added he so Ill do that Lucy.
	When will you brother
	To morrow.
	Have you not time to day brother.
	No Lucy.
	Well I can easily wait can I not brother.
	Yes Lucy.
	And said her father now I will show you some experiments on sound.
	That will do nicely papa said Lucy
	Then come upstairs to the workshop said her father. Harry and Lucy followed him quickly
	As soon as they came to the workshop took their father took a little balloon filled it with gunpowder and hung it up at a pole in the room. Then he set fire to it and the noise was so much that it was near deaf{en}ing harry and Lucy  Afterwards he took another and hung it up at such a [plate 2] height that it was hardly perceptible then he set fire to it by setting fire to a rod that communicated with it and the noise could not be heard.”
	Now said her father how much do you think was [the(?)] distance between the height of these two balloons. they answered half a mile  Right said her father. And did you not observe that you did not hear the noise the very moment that I set fire to the balloon but in a few moments afterwards. And you observed that you did not hear the noise so quickly in the higher one as in the lower one.
	Yes answered Lucy.  what was the cause of that
	The cause was that sound travels slowly and the distance between the lower balloon and the higher one being great the sound had to travel over that height of the larger pole and that sound was longer in coming down the higher pole than the lower one because of their height
	I understand you perfectly said Lucy.
	Now I will show you one other experiment said her father.
	Then he took a pipe of gunpowder and one of water communicated them together and bid harry apply his ear to the end of the one of water and having set fire to the gunpowder the noise was as loud as a cannon. This then proved that water is a good conductor  Next day harry took Lucy and took her into his garden and then showed her a little canal he had made and a little boat with some blocks fastened together by wedges then he placed a great many shores or bits of wood under the blocks and giving two or three blows on the wedges out they flew the blocks sunk and the boat hung on the shores
	Lucy now recollected a promise harry had made her to show her how ships were floated into docks to be repaired.
	Harry told her she was right.
	But how did you manage to make these shores so that they would hold the vessel so firmly and upright.”
	That would take us up too long a time standing here said harry.
	Well then come into the house if you will.
	No said harry. We can walk about the garden and then I can tell you.
	Yes answered Lucy.
	They are just plainly sticks of wood but I managed to set them so as to cross each other so that the ship went in between the shores and so was held up by them.
	Lucy now reminded harry of his promise about science. But he said he must learn his latin lessons first so they parted.”
	Lucy ran about the garden a little while. Then recollecting her brother she ran in to him to ask him if he was ready  he was ready and then Lucy went to the workshop with harry.”

chapter III
	Harry now took a cane and bent it and then letting go it flew with such force that it broke the window.
	Ha ha says harry this is not such a very good thing is it Lucy. No it is not said Lucy. But we will not let our spirits go by this let us run and tell mamma.”
	Yes said Lucy
	They both ran to her. mamma we have broke the window.
	She took out two balls from her worktable. You shall have these in reward  In reward interrupted both harry and Lucy at once in reward for breaking the window what can you mean mother.”
	No not in reward for breaking the window not in reward for breaking the window but in reward for coming and telling me of it.”
	Ho ho so that is the reason mamma.”
	Yes that is it my dears.
	Harry and Lucy then went out in search of the cane but they could not find it do what they would. At last Lucy suggested it might have stuck in a tree and as they went home they found it up in a large oak tree. The next thing to settle was how to get it down they first they thought of shaking it but then they could not shake it because it was too firm  Next they thought of climbing but the tree was too rugged for that  Next they thought of felling it but they remembered that the tree was not theirs and they must not fell it so they were in a great perplexity.
	At last they saw a man passing by and they asked him whether it might be felled.
	He said that it was his and they might cut it down.
	He went and got a man who would cut it for them. And they got the cane and went merrily [plate] home.
	Harry did not dare to do that again but as soon as they came home he took a tube bent it filled it with water placed it upright in a pond and disturbing the water the water in the pipe flew up in the air and down as if it was a fountain
	Lucy asked harry to leave the pipe in the pond and he did.
	It just now happenned that Lucys mother wanted her Lucy did not know for what only her mother wanted her

chap 4
	Harry launched his little boat but the water flowed into it. The pumps were sounded but all in vain the vessel sunk it went quite down the canal was too deep to get it up again harry was in a puzzle.
	At last lucy came they entangled a rope in all sorts of knots and bows and let it down into the water it entangled the vessel and brought it up again.
	Harry set to work to stop the leak and in a day did it. Next he put it into the water and it swam.
	Now harry wanted a kite and at last his mother gave him one. One day when he was flying it Lucy came to him and told him that she had lost his boat[,] and that it had had some water in it.
	This let harry know that he had not completely stopped the leak but in half a day he stopped it but they had a good search for it first. Lucy thought that it might have been thrown into a certain closet which she knew and there it was harry poured out the water and was done with it[!]”
	Now harry had a long while, been thinking [ . . .(?)]
	[ . . . (?)] this but at last she did. She said[,]
	a mans finger is for a child too large
	right said harry.”
	a leaf is a Leaf but it grows on a root.”
	Lucy found out this too  again she said[,]
	a tree grows on a root and the leaf on a tree.
	Harry said she was right.
	a little book is made of paste.”
	The answer was[,]
	The side of a book is made of paste.”
	Alls right we have done with our riddles.
	What only three.”
	threes enough.
	We will have some more riddles some other time.
	So we will.”
	The first thing Harry and Lucy did when the morning came was to make some grand scheme It was settled thus  Lucy was appointed to go into a bush by which her mother always passed, while harry made a cave. This cave had holes in the top and had a chair in it

chap 5
	Now Lucy waited till her mother passed the bush and then suddenly darting out seized her and carried her away to harrys cave where she sat quietly and read.
	But besides reading her mother had other amusements prepared for her. Harry had taken one of Lucys rabbits a parrot canary finch bullfinch sparrow and robin redbreast and had put them into a little hole in the bottom of the cave and then opening it all of them marched out the rabbit munching parrot talking canary singing bully cheaping robin hopping and went dancing and flying and eating and hopping and jumping all over the green.
	Lucys mother laughed heartily at this and so did Lucy for harry had kept it a secret even from her.
	Now they went in and harry was dressing himself when he was interrupted by Lucy running jumping and cutting capers.
	Why whats the matter my dear.
	Harry do you know we are going to the seaside again.
	Is this true cried [plate] harry.
	it is true  we are to set off this afternoon dress yourself as fast as you can be ready.
	Lucy prounounced the words as fast as she could that was the why that she forgot the part of speech and Harry got ready as fast as he could and in a few minutes was seated opposite to his father with Lucy away they went. 
	Presently they saw such a beautiful chain of mountains that they thought they had been made by mens hands.
	After a little while they came to a wood a league every way in size but so beautiful they quite wondered  Next they came to a river and they were to ride along the side of it. It was beautiful the water curling so nice and dashing against rocks and now they got to the inn.

chap 6
	The inn was close by the bank of the river to harry and Lucys joy but there was more joy for them they were to go to the sea now all in one stage only stopping to change horses after having had a little wine they set out again on their journey first of all they came to a house where they saw a very large white cat even they could not see one spot of black upon it. just like the froth of the sea said Lucy
	Nonsense Mrs hic haee hoc said harry.
	Ha ha thats an odd allusion said Lucy
	a T as crooked as an o.
	Ha ha ha ha you will come to nonsense at last harry.
	No said harry youll get to nonsense. [plate]
	[Lots(?)] nonsense. What a great many words about one thing said Lucy.
	So much the better said harry.
	So much the worse said Lucy
	Look look look father cried harry do you see that.
	No I do not what is it.
	The fact was that harry had seen a waggon strike a spark from the road and that set fire to a tree and harry had seen it blazing.
	Thats a bad job indeed said his father dont you observe it is close to a little cottage and it may set fire to it.
	No papa said harry no because though I see the cottage I also observe it is sheltered by a ditch which is wet and if the flames come to it they will quickly be quenched
	But remember harry that little water will not quench much fire
	But theres a great deal of water in the ditch.
	Oh then I am not so much concerned.
	No papa look the flames are fast quenching and now they are out.
	Yes said his father
	Look look what is that gently moving up and down sometimes a little froth appearing
	give me my telescope harry and I[’]ll tell you.
	Its the sea.
	the sea
	Yes the sea
	a shout of joy followed
	What is that town
	hastings
	Wheres hastings
	by the sea side
	Are we going to hastings.
	Yes.
	By this time they had got to the entrance of hastings and went to a hotel where they had a full view of the sea and harry saw a two master which he showed to Lucy

chap 7
	Next day their father took them out in a pleasure boat which harry and Lucy liked very much harry now got a little dog and he used to take great pleasure in giving him a swim by throw{ing} a stick into the water and making him swim after it. one day as harry was sailing his boat without a string a surge lifting it high aloft threw it upon the beach and immediately fell upon it when it again was afloat as it turned its sides to the sun it looked as if it were made of diamonds. harrys little dog then came prancing in and seeing the boat jumped into the water caught it in his mouth and before harry could prevent him gnawed it to peices  Harry finding that amusement stopped amused himself for some time with his dog and then went in  Papa and he then went out for a walk and after having climbed a high hill they came on a sort of plain composed of a great many fields only separated by hedges and where they had a full view of the sea and harry got a large nosegay of wildflowers Harry then went home with his father and after dinner went out again upon the beach and coming in took tea and went to bed.
	Next morning they were awakened by their fathers calling come here harry he ran to his father and they saw a great light about a mile from the shore but they soon saw what it was for a great many beams rafters and bits of wood on fire blew up in the air with a tremendous explosion and in an instant all the fire [plate] was out.
	Harrys father now said that it was a ship on fire and on looking through his telescope observed a board floating on to the shore that bore evident marks of being thoroughly burnt and Harry agreed in his opinion  Now Harry went to Lucy to remind her of riddles and he began.
		three parts of a cross
		and a circle complete
		two semicircles
		perpendicular meet
		an angle standing on two feet
		two semicircles and a circle complete
	I know that riddle it’s tobacco said Lucy.
	Yes it is said Harry but how does it make tobacco.
	three parts of a cross make T and a circle complete O two semicircles perpendicular meet B an angle standing on two feet A two semicircles and a circle complete double C and O  Yes said Harry but I will give you another
		two letter s each
		and each a half
		of what the beach
		was involved in
	fire said Lucy
	Yes it is fire and we have done

chap 8
	Harry went out upon the beach with his dog and brought in to Lucy such a store of shells that she wondered how he could pick up so many without his back aching  But Harry told her that he had quite changed since that time and was counting all the shells over when he was interrupted by dinner after dinner Harry learned all his lessons drew a little took tea and went to bed.
	Next morning Harry went out upon the beach for the 4th time and this time he brought spars and pieces of ore to Lucy instead of shells. But here he was stopped by going out for a walk they climbed a high hill and went on sometimes by the sides of rivulets at other times half rubbing against hedges but oftenest so attracted by the bubbling of a pure clear stream that they were like to jump into it they went through dark avenues and between hedges forming a sort of foot-path sometimes a full view of the sea sometimes none at all till unexpectedly they arrived at home.
	Harry sat down to draw and had just done part of the trunk of a tree when a carriage drove to the door.
	Who is it said Harry looking out.
	It was only an arrival.
	Harry sat down again and finished his tree but they were soon turned out of their apartment and put into another for they were [plate] told that the person who had just come in wanted their apartments.
	After dinner it being the longest day tea came in seemingly at three o-clock  when it was seven harry going to bed at nine had only two hours to play which he spent in drawing and went to bed.
	Next morning after breakfast Harry determined to go on with science and told Lucy he must begin with pneumatics he said that this science treated of the pressure and springiness of the air.
	Remembering that Lucy wanted to see the guinea and feather fall with equal velocities he took a guinea and a feather set them on a brass flap and put the flap under the receiver of his air pump shut it up in a little notch and exhausting the air turned a little wire and the flap slipped down and the guinea and feather fell with equal velocities and no noise.
	Lucy was surprised at this but harry said that it was only because the air was taken away
	Harry now said he would describe the airgun to Lucy.
	What is an airgun said Lucy
	It is a sort of musket that acts by air instead of gunpowder.
	How does it act by air instead of gunpowder.
	There is a ball of condensed air which is screwed to the barrel of the gun and there is a valve in the ball opening inwards and when the ball is screwed on and the bullet in the trigger is pulled back which forces down a hook upon a pin connected with the valve and liberates a portion of the condensed air this rushing through a hole in the lock into the barrel will impel the bullet to a great distance.
	What is the eolian harp said Lucy.
	It is a sort of harp that acts by air instead of the hands for the air sweeping along the strings of the harp makes them vibrate and produces the sound.
	What are the principal conductors of common sound said Lucy. [plate]
	They are flannel water air which last is absolutely necessary to sound.
	Will you prove that to me said Lucy
	Yes I will said Harry.
	Harry then took a bell and put it in the receiver exhausting the air and bidding Lucy look at the clapper of the bell he shook the air pump.
	I see plainly the clapper knocks the side of the bell but I hear no noise said Lucy.
	That is because there is no air inside listen again.
	I hear the bell very plainly now said Lucy.
	That is because I admitted the air said harry
	But why did you shake the air pump could not you shake the reciever [sic] said Lucy
	No I could not for the air was pressing it firmly down to the bottom of the airpump  But said harry looking at his watch I must leave you now or I shall not have time for my lessons

chap 9
	Harry now determined to have another grand scheme so he took a handfull of earth moistened it with water and stuck it onto the green. He then took another handfull and treated it in the same manner till he had formed a large ball of the shape of an orange he then divided it into divisions and wrote upon some of them africa on others america iceland spitzbergen novazembla and all the countries he could remember and when his mamma and papa saw this whenever they were at a loss for the situation of any country they went to harrys globe for satisfaction
	This scheme being finished harry went on with science. Harry said he would show Lucy a very entertaining experiment so he took a strong copper vessel filled it half full of water and took a syringe and screwed it to a pipe with this he forced a considerable quantity of air into the vessel so that the air was very much condensed he then turned a stop-cock while he took off the syringe and no water could escape but putting a jet instead of a syringe and turning the stop-cock the air in the vessel forced the water through the jet to a great height.
	Harry then took a little square bottle and he cemented to it a screw-valve by which he fixed it on the plate of the airpump and exhausted the air and the pressure of the atmosphere upon the glass broke it into a thousand pieces.
	Lucy asked why he had chosen a square bottle instead of a round one.
	Because one of that shape would have sustained the pressure like an arch.
	Harry then took a jar of water and put in some pieces of iron zinc and stone &c then he exhausted the air and the elastic spring of air contained in the stone forced the water out of it in a multitude of globules forming a very pleasing spectacle	After that Harry took a piece of cork and tied a piece of lead to it just enough to make it sink he then removed the air and then the cork brought the lead up to the surface.
	Then Harry took a piece [plate] of cork and a piece of lead and balanced them on a scale-beam and exhausting the air the cork was heavier than the lead.
	Harry then took a poker and tied a strip of flannel round the middle of it but leaving both the ends untied he tied the two ends round Lucys first finger of each hand and then bid Lucy put these fingers into each of her ears and strike the poker against the fender and the sound returned was astonishing that made by a loud church bell was not to be compared with it.
	After that Harry took a very shrivelled apple and put it under the receiver and it appeared as fine an apple as it was when first taken from the tree but admitting the air it was as shrivelled as ever.
	Then harry took a marble and shot it against the wainscot and it returned to his hand he told Lucy that the line it described in coming from the wainscot was called the line of reflection and the line in going to it the line of incidence.
After that Harry took a new laid egg and made a hole in the small end of it putting it under the reciever [sic] of the airpump in an aleglass and the pressure of the bubble of air found in the broad end of new laid eggs forced all the contents of the egg out into the aleglass.
	Then Harry took a small glass can filled with water and three little images floating at the top he then tied little weights to them so that they descended to the bottom but on removing the air they ascended to the top dragging the weights after them
The time had been so pleasantly taken up by these experiments that Harry did not hear his mother call him and he staid away a whole hour later than he should have done for he always went to his lessons at twelve and he staid till one but now he went to them

chap 10
	Harry now went out upon the beach and dug a deep hole in it which to his surprise he found full of different coloured sea shells and what made it the more wonderful was that the further he dug the more shells he found. He thought this would be a fine mine to Lucy if she could get at the shells without dirtying her frock but he was afraid she would not he led her to the place but he found she could not so that he was obliged to pick up as many as he could reach and go home.
	Harry sat down to draw and had just said How very few people come to this inn when another carriage drove to the door. Harry knew very well what it was and went on with his drawing but Lucy soon called him away and bid him observe a great black cloud from the north which seemed rather electrical Harry ran for an electrical apparatus which his father had given him and the cloud electrified his apparatus positively [plate] after that another cloud came which electrified his apparatus negatively and then a long train of smaller ones but before this cloud came a great cloud of dust rose from the ground and followed the positive cloud and at length seemed to come in contact with it and when the other cloud came a flash of lightning was seen to dart through the cloud of dust upon which the negative clouds spread very much and dissolved in rain which presently cleared the sky
	After this phenomenon was over and also the surprise Harry began to wonder how electricity could get where there was so much water but he soon observed a rainbow and a rising mist under it which his fancy soon transformed into a female form. He then remembered the witch of the waters at the Alps who was raised from them by takeing [sic] some water in the hand and throwing it into the air pronouncing some unintelligable [sic] words  And though it was a tale it affected Harry now when he saw in the clouds something like it
end of harry
and Lucy
