It is generally fuppofed that what are 
called nervous affeCtions are almoft exclu- 
fively confined to the fuperior orders of 
fociety : fo far, however, from being the 
exclufive property of the rich and the 
Juxurious, they appear, in fome thzpe or 
other, to prevail in an equal proportion 
among the-humbleft claffes of the commu- 
nity. The nerves of the poor are fubje& 
to the fame morbid vibrations, and. their 
imaginations to as great a variety of ridi~ 
culous and tormenting caprices, as even 
thofe are liable to that move in the very

Cafes of this defcription, fo great a num- 
ber of which have come under obfervation — 
during the laft year, have been remarkable 
for the multiplicity and diverfity of their

fomething alive within them*: others, that 
they had no infide, as well asa great num- 
ber of corporeal deficiencies and com- 
plaints which were entirely abfent, and 
the prefence of which there was not the 
flighteft reafon for fufpecting. 
No man has greater opportunities of 
obferving the connection between prevail- 
ing difeafes and the various ftates of the ” 
weather, than the phyfician whofe huma- 
nity or profeffional duty calls him to the
