particle is public and tunable.
PC 8.223 25 Nature is an enormous system, but in mass
and in particle
curiously available to the humblest need of the little creature that

that this
cause has had the power to draw to it every particle of talent and of
worth
in England...
SHC 11.430 12 ...the irresistible democracy-shall I
call it?-of chemistry, of vegetation, which recomposes for new life
every decomposing particle,- the race never dying, the individual never
spared,-have impressed on the
mind of the age the futility of these old arts of preserving.
particles, n. (14)
Hist 2.37 14 One may say a gravitating solar system is

Wth 6.111 4 We cannot get rid of these [immigrant]

Comc 8.169 2 ...according to Latin poetry and English
doggerel,--Poverty

Comc 8.169 14 The lie [in poverty] is in the surrender
of the man to his
appearance;... It affects us oddly, as...to see a man in a high wind

inverted,--the

LLNE 10.325 11 There are always two parties, the party

LLNE 10.365 15 It was a curious experience of the

parties was that they should give so many hours of instruction...that

advantages of the society...
EzRy 10.394 4 Was a man a sot...or was there any cloud

possible to control the trade and practices of these farmers.
HDC 11.64 8 Some interesting peculiarities in the
manners and customs of

HDC 11.75 11 The British, as soon as they were rejoined
