"The Home Movie Scenario Book"
(Morrie Ryskind / C. F. Stevens / James Englander, 1921)
»Last year, 35,000 amateur motion picture cameras were sold. This year the demand is indicated at 100,000 complete outfits of camera and projector. […] And that means that in the coming months, these ten thousands will buy their own cameras and become bossy directors on their own hook.«

"Frozen Sections of a Child"
(Thomas Dwight, 1881)
»The subject was the body of a girl, said to be three years old. The length was thirty-three inches. At this age the proportions of the body, and of the organs, are no longer those of the infant, and not yet those of the adult.«
[…]
»The body should be frozen like a rock so much so that the operator cannot tell whether he is cutting bone or muscle. Tooth is the only tissue he should be able to recognize. The sections should be made in a cold room, with a very sharp saw that has been chilled. When a section is cut, its surface is obscured by a thick half- frozen saw-dust, which is doubly thick if the freezing is not quite sufficient. It is wisest, if time allows, to remove this at once, which is done by pouring a little hot water over the section and brushing or scraping it off rapidly and carefully. This is a very delicate part of the process, and its successful performance has much to do with the beauty of the specimen. If it is to be kept, it should be laid on a piece of glass or wood, and placed at once, while still frozen, in cold alcohol.«

"Studies of Assassination"
(Wirt Sikes, 1881)
»The aim of this work is to emphasize the folly of assassination, by illustrating its common reaction on its perpetrators and its consistent failure to accomplish its purpose. […] Rebellion has sometimes helped the cause of human progress, but assassination never ; and it is possible for rebellion to win our respect, when its cause is righteous; but assassination can only excite abhorrence, be its cause good or bad.«
