This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 Excerpt: ...point for or of standing; and so forth. But by no contrivance can we explain stand-point as the point of, or to, or for, stand.
