Capitolo 7
he had some money to go away. Its accounts were perfectly kept from double
entered all life of his, and he appraised extremely the order of
accounting: this facility to hold accounts was very useful to
him. He seems not to have destroyed a document of some kind anything:
counterfoils of old check banking-books, notes for merchants the circulars,
accounts, and correspondence of all the son-in-laws was attentively preserved in the
the most greater part of complete order from the duration that he went to Cambridge; and a
enormous mass that they has formed. To a tall appreciation of order he attributed
in a great degree his/her command of the mathematics, and he/she sometimes spoke of
the mathematics as nothing more than a system of order brought a
considerable extension. In everything he was methodic and orderly, and
he made on all four to fear the greatest of trouble that walks to in the job of routine
of the observatory, also in the smallest matters. For example, him
spent in writing one whole afternoon the word "Empty" on great cards, to
is nailed on a great number of empty packing it cans, because him
observed a small confusion that rises from them mixed state with other
boxes that contain different articles; and an assistant could not be
saved for this job without withdrawing him/it from his it named
duties. Its setup of the correspondence of Observatory was
excellent and elaborate: probably any papers are easier than reference
what those systematized on his/her system. Its severe habits of order did him/it
insists a lot on detail in his/her business with others and the
rigid discipline that rises out of its system of order made its rule
annoying to such of his/her subordinates as you don't quickly suit for him:
but the efficiency of the observatory mainly depended unquestionably
on him. As its powers failed with age the dominant passion for order
supposed a greater prominence; and in his/her last days that he is seemed to be
put letters and more anxious than him it received in their correct place
for reference that also to dominate their contents.
