Էջ 56 - The left side was most powerfully convulsed at each renewal of the electric contact. On moving the second rod from the hip to the heel, the knee being previously bent, the leg was thrown out with such violence as nearly to overturn one of the assistants, who in vain attempted to prevent its extension.
Էջ 3 - ... they are destroyed. Examine the mind, the grand prerogative of man. Where is the mind of the fetus ? where that of the child just born ? Do we not see it actually built up before our eyes by the actions of the five external senses, and of the gradually developed internal faculties ?

Էջ 57 - The supra-orbital nerve was laid bare in the forehead, as it issues through the supra-ciliary foramen, in the eyebrow: the one conducting rod being applied to it, and the other to the heel, most extraordinary grimaces were exhibited every time that the electric discharges were made, by running the wire in my hand along the edges of the last trough, from the...
Էջ 58 - At this period several of the spectators were forced to leave the apartment from terror or sickness, and one gentleman fainted. ,•. 4.
