All former

scenes

of dear delight,

Connubial love-parental joy_

No sympathies like these his soul employ;

But all is dark within?

AS IT PROCEEDS FROM

THE DISPOSITION AND HABIT,
THE PASSION OF LOVE,

AND

THE INFLUENCE OF RELIGION.

DRAWN CHIEFLY FROM

THE CELEBRATED WORK

INTITLED

Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy;

AND IN WHICH THE

KINDS, CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES AND CURES

OF

THIS ENGLISH MALADY

" are traced from within
"Its inmost centre to its outmost skin."

"Can'st thou not minister to a mind diseased,
"Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
"Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
"And, with some sweet oblivious antidote,
"Cleanse the foul bosom of that perilous stuff
"Which weighs upon the heart ?”

SHAKESPEARE, Macbeth, A&t V. Scene III.
