Stran 463 - This is an individual of the thrush kind ; its own natural note is delightfully musical and solemn; but beyond this it possesses an instinctive talent of imitating the note of every other kind of singing bird, and even the voice of every bird of prey so exactly, as to deceive the very kinds it attempts to mock. It is moreover playful enough to find amusement in the deception; and takes a pleasure in decoying smaller birds near it by mimicking...

Stran 117 - Thou'dst meet the bear i' the mouth. When the mind's free, The body's delicate: the tempest in my mind Doth from my senses take all feeling else, Save what beats there.
Stran 120 - Captain Franklin also notices the resuscitation of fishes after being frozen.

Stran 278 - India, indeed, the deaths, under the same plan of treatment, seem to have been still fewsr: for Dr. Burrell, surgeon to the sixty-fifth regiment at Seroor, out of sixty cases, makes a return of only four deaths ; and Mr. Craw, on the same station, asserts, that, on an early application for relief, the disease in his opinion ' is not fatal in more than one in 100 cases.
Stran 165 - ... most fascinating prospects around it, and become exhausted by its own abstraction. And it is to characters of this kind, perhaps more than to any other, that the amusements of a watering-place promise ample success ; where the general bustle and hilarity, and the voluntary forgetfulness of care, the novelty of new scenes, and new faces, and new family anecdotes, and the perpetual routine of engagements that fill up the time with what would otherwise be trifles and frivolities, reverse the mischievous...
Stran 323 - Of the larvae of the beetle," says Dr. Pickells, " I am sure I considerably underrate, when I say that not less than 700 have been thrown up from the stomach at different times since the commencement of my attendance. A great proportion were destroyed by herself to avoid publicity; many, too, escaped immediately by running into holes in the floor. Upwards of ninety were submitted to Dr. Thomson's...
Stran 560 - I consider the use of this medicine as the most certain means of curing the disease in its second stage; and when there has been little fever present, and a sufficient quantity of the bark has been given, it has seldom failed of soon putting an end to the disease.
