No public event could have oc- curred, adapted so strongly to awak- en the sensibility and excite the re- flections of Americans. No apolo- gy will therefore be needful for re- lating the circumstances of this great event. The particulars of his disease and death being stated by the physicians who attended him, their narrative deserves to be con- sidered as authentic. The follow- ing account was drawn up by Doc- tors Craik and Dick. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-12475.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05156.xml THE last number of the second volume of the Medical Repository has been published this month, by Messrs.

I suppose you will ea- sily see what it was that put me upon asking this question. Not long ago, an instance of this power was said to be given by a person in your city, and I want much to know the truth or falsehood of the tale. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04003.xml Wed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05081.xml IT is an old remark, that the com- monest appearances in nature, and the most frequent incidents in human life, are, when viewed by the eyes of a philosopher, mysteri- ous and inexplicable. Men have puzzled themselves in inquiring why a stone that is thrown upward into the air, falls again, after a cer- tain time, to the earth; and how it happens that the arm is lifted, mere- ly because I desire that it should be so. Not contented with the facts as they are noted by our senses, our curiosity conjures up a property, assigns to it the name of gravitation, measures its influence by numbers and lines, and traces its existence through every part of the universe. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05081.xml Fri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-12415.xml Sir, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-12415.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-07247.xml Mr. Editor, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-07247.xml Wed, 01 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08345.xml Sir, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08345.xml Sat, 01 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05090.xml AMONG English writers of his- tory, common consent seems to have assigned the first place to Hume, Robertson, and Gibbon.— The merit of each of these, com- pared with that of their contempo- raries and their predecessors, is un- doubtedly illustrious. That each has numerous defects will as readily be granted; but it will not be ea- sily or unanimously decided to which, when compared with each other, the pre-eminence is due. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05090.xml Fri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06181.xml June, 1799. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06181.xml Mon, 01 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-03355.xml ADVICE is generally viewed as a nauseating potion by those patients to whom it is administered. It chills the heart, and discomposes the econ- omy of the nerves. Hence we find the adviser and the advice treated with equal contempt. To render coun- sel palatable, has been considered by moral writers as the highest and most valuable effort of genius. Nor can we reasonably question their decision when we contemplate the extreme difficulty as well as incalculable im- portance of the art. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-03355.xml Mon, 30 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06167.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06167.xml Mon, 01 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08335.xml WALSTEIN was professor of history at Jena, and, of course, had several pupils. Nine of them were more assiduous in their attention to their tutor than the others. This circumstance came at length to be noticed by each other, as well as by Walstein, and naturally produced good-will and fellowship among them. They gra- dually separated themselves from the negligent and heedless crowd, cleaved to each other, and frequently met to exchange and compare ideas. Walstein was prepossessed in their favour by their studious habits, and their veneration for him. He fre- quently admitted them to exclusive interviews, and laying aside his pro- fessional dignity, conversed with them on the footing of a friend and equal. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08335.xml Sat, 01 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-12407.xml [Concluded from p. 338.] http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-12407.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT
