الصفحة 37 - I will indulge in my sacred fury; I will triumph over mankind by the honest confession, that I have stolen the golden vases of the Egyptians to build up a tabernacle for my God far away from the confines of Egypt. If you forgive me, I rejoice ; if you are angry, I can bear it : the die is cast ; the book is written, to be read either now or by posterity, I care not which : it may well wait a century for a reader, as God has waited six thousand years for an observer...

الصفحة 91 - Ohio report, which contains 151 marriages of cousins, followed by deaf and dumb, blind, idiotic, or insane offspring, would indicate the existence of 332 other marriages of cousins in the same population, not followed by such defects. The counties which furnish...
الصفحة 50 - ... their thought untold ; And many live, and are ranked as mad, And placed in the cold world's ban, For sending their bright far-seeing souls Three centuries in the van. They toil in penury and grief, Unknown, if not maligned ; Forlorn, forlorn, bearing the scorn Of the meanest of mankind. But yet the world goes round and round, And the genial seasons run, And ever the truth comes uppermost, And ever is justice done.
الصفحة 91 - ... requisite facts. Parents are often sensitive on this score; and it is a delicate matter for principals to attempt investigations which the friends of the beneficiaries suppose to be unauthorized by the regulations of their various institutions. I feel, however, that my researches give me authority to say, that over ten per cent, of the deaf and dumb, and over five per cent, cent, of the blind, and near fifteen per cent, of the idiotic in our State institutions for subjects of those defects, are...
