Strana 137 - Thus we are men, and we know not how; there is something in us, that can be without us, and will be after us; though it is strange that it hath no history, what it was before us, nor cannot tell how it entered in us.
Strana 137 - I find not, there is no organ or instrument for the rational soul; for in the brain, which we term the seat of reason, there is not anything of moment more than I can discover in the crany of a beast: and this is a sensible and no inconsiderable argument of the inorganity of the soul, at least in that sense we usually so receive it.

Brought again to her trial, she repeated her Old story, and added that she became pregnant merely for the sake of having a child...
Strana 132 - En., dued with a rare spirit of observation, acuteness, and the talent of deduction ; brought up in the bosom of nature, and by constant intercourse with her, become her favourite ; he has detected a number of phenomena in the whole circle of organic beings, which have hitherto been not at all, or but superficially observed.
