 spine, which he paid for former successes as a Cumberland wrestler." 



P. 33. Nov. 29 1834. The address burnt. No doubt at Thii-lwall's instance, 

 whose whole bearing in this business, as throughout life, is marked by dignity and

 the chair. A clergyman spoke at some length of the evils he feared in the movement, 

 and of the influence of Science in weakening belief in revelation. When he had 

 ended Sedgwick suddenly rose, took a Bible from the table, and holding it up 

 exclaimed in his most vehement manner : ' Who is the greatest unbeliever ? Is it
