The dark- ness would allow me to see nothing but outlines. Compared with the pigmy dimensions of my father's wooden hovel, the buildings before me were of gigantic loftiness. The horses were here far more magnifi- cently accommodated than I had been. By a large door we entered an elevated hall. “Stay here,” said he, “just while I fetch a light.” http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07290.xml Tue, 07 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07297.xml IN this age of free enquiry, it is rather surprising to find that no one has undertaken more fully to investi- gate the character of that being who is emphatically stiled in the language of Holy Writ “the evil one.” http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07297.xml Tue, 07 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07317.xml HOW rare it is in man to find, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07317.xml Tue, 07 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07322.xml NOW I was once more on public ground. By so many anxious efforts had I disengaged myself from the perilous precincts of private property. As many stratagems as are usually made to enter an house, had been employed by me to get out of it. I was urged to the use of them by my fears; yet so far from carrying off spoil, I had escaped with the loss of an essential part of my dress. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07322.xml Tue, 14 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07370.xml THIS memoir was read before the American Philosophical Society, and will appear in the next volume of the Transactions of that learned body. In the interim, the author has caused a few copies to be printed for distri- bution, but not for sale. He did not, however, content himself with merely committing his original paper to the press, but considerably altered and somewhat enlarged it. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07370.xml Tue, 21 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07394.xml HAVING thus disposed of the doctrines of some of his predecessors, Dr. Barton proceeds to say: “The result of not a little attention to the subject has taught me, that there is but one wonder in the business;— the wonder that the story should ever have been believed by a man of understanding, and of observation.” —Fascination, we are informed, is almost entirely limited to birds that build low, and “in almost every instance, I found that the supposed fascinating faculty of the serpent was exerted upon the birds at the particu- lar season of their laying their eggs, of their hatching, or of their rearing their young, still tender, and defence- less. I now began to suspect, that the cries and fears of birds supposed to be fascinated originated in an en- deavour to protect their nest or young. My enquiries have convinced me that this is the case.” http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07394.xml Tue, 28 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT
