TRAGEDY OF LIFE:

BEING RECORDS OF

REMARKABLE PHASES OF LUNACY,

KEPT BY A PHYSICIAN.

BY JOHN H. BRENTEN.

OUR towns and cities are but so many dwellings of human misery, in which grief
and sorrow, innumerable troubles, labours of mortal men, and all manner of vices,
are included as in so many pens. Our villages are like molehills, and men as so
many emmets, busy, busy, still going to and fro, in and out, crossing one another's
projects, as the lines of several sea cards cut each other in a map. Now light and
merry, by and by sorrowful and heavy; now hoping, then distrusting; now patient,
to-morrow crying out; now pale, then red, running, sitting, trembling, sweating,
halting, &c.-BURTON.

IN TWO VOLUMES.
