Excerpt from Lectures on Physiology, Zoology, and the Natural History of Man: Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons It is alleged that there is a party of modern sceptics, co-ope rating in the diffusion of these noxious opinions with a no less terrible band of French physiologists, for the purpose of demoral ising mankind!
