This first appeared as a 1795 illustrated broadsheet published in London and Bath with the title "The old man, his children, and the bundle of sticks". There "A good old man, no matter where, Whether in York or Lancashire," gives the lesson on his deathbed and the poem concludes with a Christian reflection. [14]
A faggot, in the meaning of "bundle", is an archaic English unit applied to bundles of certain items. Alternate spellings in Early Modern English include fagate, faget, fagett, faggott, fagot, fagatt, fagott, ffagott, and faggat. A similar term is found in other languages (e.g. Latin: fascis).

Extinguishing that ...

The bundle theorist's principal objections to substance theory concern the bare particulars of a substance, which substance theory considers independently of the substance's properties. The bundle theorist objects to the notion of a thing with no properties, claiming that such a thing is inconceivable and citing John Locke, who described a ...

[1] [2] [3] For instance, all organisms are made up of at least one cell that processes hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future ...
In materials science, an intrinsic property is independent of how much of a material is present and is independent of the form of the material, e.g., one large piece or a collection of small particles. Intrinsic properties are dependent mainly on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the material. [1]
A definition of "matter" based on its physical and chemical structure is: matter is made up of atoms. [17] Such atomic matter is also sometimes termed ordinary matter. As an example, deoxyribonucleic acid molecules (DNA) are matter under this definition because they are made of atoms.
