ample and language, urged and encouraged Dr. Weilly to renew his labours, which, solely in obedience to his Imperial Majesty's wishes and completely despairing of succes, he recommenced; and as the whole party were making the last effort, the Emperor had the inexpressible satisfaction of seeing the blood flow from the puncture, and of hearing a faint groan issue from the lips of his patient. The emotions of his Imperial Majesty at this moment were indescribable, and in the fulness of his transport he exclaimed in French,"Good "God! this is the brightest day of my life!" and tears of joy sparkled in his eyes, to ratify the feelings of his heart. Every exertion was now redoubled, and as humanity loves to dwell upon the minutest circumstances of this affecting scene, I must not omit to relate, that when Dr. Weilley looked round for something to stop the blood with, the Emperor with vivid promptitude took out his handkerchief, tore it in pieces, with his own hand bound the sufferer's arm, and remained with him until he completely recovered, when he conveyed him to a place where proper care could be administered to him; at parting, he ordered him a liberal present of money, and afterwards, upon his return to his capital capital, as if grateful to him for so large a portion of felicity, settled a pension upon him and his family. The sensation of the patient, when he was informed of the exalted rank of his preserver, can be better felt than described. The poor inhabitants of that part of Poland, who were rude artists, fabricated four snuff boxes, on the lids of which they delineated, as well as they were able, this striking and exemplary event, which they presented to the Emperor and the gentlemen who assisted him in thi work of humanity." FINIS Booth and Ball, Printers, Norwich. WORKS by the same Author ETYMOLOGICON UNIVERSALE; OR, ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY. [ ON A NEW PLAN.] In which it is shewn, that Consonants are alone to be regarded in discovering the affinities of Words, and that the Vowels are to be wholly rejected; That Languages contain the same fundamental idea, and that they are derived from the EARTH, and the Operations, Accidents and Properties belonging to it, with Illustrations drawn from various Languages, The Teutonic Dialects, English, Gothic, Saxon, German Danish, &c. &c.-Greek, Latin, French, Italian, Spanish.-The Celtic Dialects, Galic, Irish, Welsh, Bretagne, &c. &c. The Eastern Languages, Hebrew, Arabic, Pérsian, Sanscrit, Gipsey, Coptic, &c. &c. Printed, In two Parts, at the University Press, Camb, 1811. Price 41. 43. 0. 1st. Pt. p. 1–520. 2nd. 521--1307. This Work is an improved state of the System, which the Writer exhibited in a former publication in quarto, called Etymologicon Magnum, in the year 1800. The plan of this Work may be considered as entirely New, if we regard the various and extensive purposes, which are exemplified as attainable by the adoption of a Principle, acknowledged, but imperfectly understood. It is destined to generalize the doctrine of Etymology and to perform for that imperfect Art, what the Science of Algebra has produced to Arithmetic.-- -In this Elementary Character R is the first Consonant and any other Consonant the second. Other Volumes are ready for the Press, in which the following Elementary Characters are examined, thro' the same Languages, as B,F,P,M,V,W, ) { C,D,G,K,Q,S,T,X.Z, that is, where B, &c. is the first Consonant in the word, and C, &c. the secondB,M, the first Cons.) ( N,the second Cons,-C, D, G, &c. the first Cons.) B‚F,P,M,V,W, the second Cons. |
