Сторінка 321 - ... to establish a defence on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that, at the time of the committing of the act, the party accused was labouring under such a defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing; or, if he did know it, that he did not know he was doing what was wrong.
Сторінка 107 - ... can be the effect of nothing else than the wisdom and skill of a powerful ever-living Agent, who being in all places is more able by his will to move the bodies within his boundless uniform sensorium, and thereby to form and reform the parts of the universe, than we are by our will to move the parts of our own bodies.
Сторінка 107 - Bodies. And yet we are not to consider the World as the Body of God, or the several Parts thereof, as the Parts of God. He is an uniform Being, void of Organs, Members or Parts, and they are his Creatures subordinate to him, and subservient to...
Сторінка 49 - If the physical gravitation of the head of the child were the cause of the normal position with the head lowest, then this position ought to be found with more frequency and certainty when the gravitation of the head from any cause was rendered proportionally greater than natural ; with less frequency and certainty, when from other causes the gravitation of the cephalic extremity of the infant was rendered proportionately less than natural. The very contrary, however, of all this is the truth. In...

The organs of sense are not for enabling the soul to perceive the species of things in its sensorium, but only for conveying them thither; and God has no need of such organs, he being everywhere present to the things themselves.
Сторінка 111 - The transmission of impressions from one part of the nervous system to another, or from the nervous system to the muscular and glandular structures, has a nearer resemblance to the effects produced by the imponderable agents to which you have alluded than to anything else.
Сторінка 51 - ... of such a function. Those authors who, with Dubois, strive to prove that the position of the foetus is determined by its own motions, have first to prove that it could maintain any position whatever against gravity, without such constant efforts as voluntary muscles are incapable of, and of the actual presence of which no evidence can be furnished.
Сторінка 49 - Now this argument, when j ustly applied, is made to tell most decidedly in favour of the gravitation theory. The altered circumstances of a hydrocephalic foetus have been altogether misapprehended. The hydrocephalic head, although truly much larger and heavier in air, is probably lighter and more buoyant in water. In this question we have to do with hydrocephalic children only while immersed in liquor amnii. The larger the head is in these circumstances, the lighter and more buoyant it is, and the...
