"After writing this thesis I have drawn for my
conclusion that cereal breakfast foods as a class
are nutritious, convenient, and reasonably economical
foods and should have a very important place in the diet."--Conclusion
Before we can write intelligently concerning
any subject, we must understand exactly what we are
writing about. As the title tells us, this thesis
deals exclusively with the work and incidentally with
the lives of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, two
notable nineteenth century poets.
By way of preface, a few words may be said regarding the advantages of the revolving field type of machine.
The first in its favor and the chief reason for its
existence, is that by passing the heavy armature current
through permanent stationary contacts and only the small
field current...
