...words the doubts and questions which have been floating in many of our brains in regard to the effect of too much learning on the fair sex. The story is well told but we wish that some of the incongruities which mar its effect had been avoided. The "Religio Medici of Sir Thomas Browne" is a short sketch of the character and opinions of a strange figure of the 16th century as they are recorded in his own writings. The style and language of the sketch are excellent...
...brain, eyes, are perfect exhibitions of those objects. In the midst of the tumultuous city, here all is stillness and solitude, where medical science, taking her pupils by the hand, leads them into her secret chambers, unfolding the intricacies of every department. An Apollo Belvedere and a Venus de Medici show in one room imitations in plaster cast and in marble, models of art and of the just and fairest proportions of the human form...

BOSTONIAE sunt duo medici - non medici similia morbis adhibentes remedia, sed discipuli Aesculapii veri - Germani, viri optimi, probi atque honesti, artis peritissimi medicinae, quorum alterum Doctorem A., alterum Doctorem B., nominabimus. Licet ambo sint scurrae, tamen Doctor A. Doctori B. praestat. Infeliciter alter alteri invidet, neque alter occasionem alterius petulantibus vocibus consectandi praetermittit. Jam paucis diebus ante cum convivis aliis hospites amici fuerunt. Ridetur, editur, potatur, ut omnes non minus animo quam ventre delectentur. Sermonis cursu a Doctore B. rogatus, ut fabellam narraret, "Fabella digna, quam narrem," Doctor A. respondet, "mihi non est; mihi autem somnium proxima nocte mirum fuit...
