Irngering awhile with diseases from which
those less gifted readily recover; and at last
dying, notwithstanding the utinoat efforts
to restore them. During their sickness,
they constantly manifested a passion for
books, and mental excitement, and were
admired for the maturity of their mind..—
The chance for the recovery of such precoc-
iou/children, is in my opinion small, when
attacked by a(seaae; and several medical
men have informed me that their own obser-
vations had led them to form the same
opinion; and have remaried, that in two
eases of sickness, if one of the patient's was
a child of superior and highly cultivated
mental powers, and the other one equally
sick, but whose mind had not been excited
by study. they should feel much less con-
fident of the recovery of the former than of
the latter. This mental precocity, results
from an unnatural development of one or-
gan of the body, at the expense of the con-
stitution, as is thus eeplaaned by two of the
most celebrated men of the medical pro -
died the nett evening. During his short
sickness he had no headach, and complain-
ed roily of hie stomach.
On examining his bead, the day after his
death, it was found to be considerably lar-
ger than that of a fol: -grown person, mea-
suring twenty-eight inches in circumfer-
ence. The lateral ventricles 'contained •
great quantity of transparent serum, which
bad distended the brain to a very great de-
gree, and produced much of the enlarge-
ment of the t.td. The appearance of all
the parts of the brain it is not necessary to
particularize. Many parts, especially those
at the base of the brain, were healthy,
and the small blood-ves.ela were generally
congested with blood.
The following interesting account of
this ebtld'e mental and moral faculties, was
furninhod by Dr. J. K. Iltitcbell, the family
physician. " When 16 months old, the
child spoke well, and. at 18 months, was
able to sing a variety of musical urs with
tolerable corr'Mtnees, and always exhibited
a strong predilection for music. His intel-
lectual {atxUtca generally were very re- fes.inn. "It is a fundamental law of the
specte.ae, and his powers of observation distribution of vital power.," says Bichat,
rather remarkable. But his memory, hntb "that when they are icer axed in one part,
of language and sentiments, was such ■e to
vacue surprise in those who took pains to
converse with him. The following exam-
ple of his powers of recollection may not
be amiss. A customer of hie father having
bees "ataeeat two years, ret■rned, and, mil
