Sir Isaac Newton. “Diamond.” } Con.
Newton went out of his library on one occasion, leaving his pet dog “Diamond” in the room. The dog jumped up on to the table, overturned the light, which set fire to most valuable manuscripts. They burned up. When Newton returned and discovered what his pet had done, he exclaimed, “O! Diamond, Diamond, thou little knowest what thou hast done.” The name Diamond becomes thus vividly associated in our minds with the forbearance of the great Newton. We cannot forget it. We hold them together hereafter by Con.
