It was a dull parallelopipedon enough for living creatures at most hours of the day; but for a few minutes in the evening, as now, an errant, kindly ray lighted up and warmed the little world therein, when the many-coloured zoophytes opened and put forth their arms, the weeds acquired a rich transparency, the shells gleamed of a more golden yellow, and the timid community expressed gladness more plainly than in words. ❋ Unknown (2006)
This object is made of a hard stone in the form of a perfect parallelopipedon with slightly rounded faces. ❋ Jesse Walter Fewkes (1890)
Each parallelopipedon of peat, cut to a depth of 10 feet, makes 144 sods, and this number can be cut in less than 10 minutes. ❋ Unknown (1869)
The most peculiar feature of the mound was perhaps its apparently regular form -- a perfect parallelopipedon. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
On getting nearer to it, its character became somewhat altered; the square box-like form appeared less regular, and it was then perceived that the parallelopipedon was not perfect. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
I could tell the solid contents of a cube, of a parallelopipedon, of a pyramid, of a globe (nearly), of a cylinder, and of a cone. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
This was caused by the peculiar construction of the piano-case, which resembled a great parallelopipedon, with one corner sawed off. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
On one side, near the wall, stood a desk or rostrum upon an elevated dais, and by the side of this a large block of cut stone of the form of a parallelopipedon. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
The figure of the stone ought to be of Egyptian simplicity: a broadish parallelopipedon (or rather _octaedron_; the _corners_ well chamfered off, to avoid breakages, will make it 8-faced, I think); in the substance of the stone there is one quality to be looked for, durability; and the letters ought to be cut deep, -- and by no means in lapidary _lines_ ❋ Edward FitzGerald (1846)
The rock was 37 feet long, 22 high, and 21 broad, in the form of a parallelopipedon. ❋ Shearjashub Spooner (1834)
Though, as has been said, they are very hard; yet by the means of certain fissures they contain, they may easily be divided into small pieces, either of the parallelopipedon or rhomboidal form. ❋ Unknown (1812)
Let us now proceed to find how any parallelopipedon will revolve about fucceflive momentary axes pafling through its center of gravity: by which means, with the help of tb& theorem juft now inveftigated, we fhali be enabled to define how any body whatever will revolve about fuch axes; which is the chief purpofe of this difqulfition. ❋ Unknown (1785)
We have ftill to inveiligate the track of the momentary pole in the immoveable concave Ipherical 'furface, which we muft conceive to furround our moveable convex fpherical fur - face, fuppofing the center of both thofe furfaces to coincide with the centers of gravity of our parallelopipedon: which central point is always in this difquifition fuppofed at reft. ❋ Unknown (1785)
Firft then to find fuch parallelopipedon (P), that, with re - fpe£l: to the a6lion of fuch forces as are mentioned above, it may be affefted exa£lly in the fame manner as any other given, body (Q). ❋ Unknown (1785)
"venerable and amiable Coryphaeus of our evangelical party," he uses expressions that will lash the ordinary Catholic and Churchman of his audience harder than the fisherwoman was lashed in being called an isosceles and a parallelopipedon. ❋ Various (N/A)
