Phenomena which deserve consideration are those of breath, shadow, reflection, sleep, swoon, sickness, wounds and death, Two facts, interesting in their analogies and contrasts, bear upon the subject, namely, the states of waking and sleeping, and those of life and death.

This performance will be only one of a series which have...
