| Description | A physical dissertation on drowning; in which submersion, commonly called drowning, is shewn to be a long time consistent with the continuance of life, from a variety of unexceptionable though surprising facts, related by the most eminent and judicious authors, and confirmed by incontestable evidence; which facts are reconciled and accounted for, from the strictest laws of the animal economy. With an appendix containing some methods for the recovery of those who hang themselves. With plates. Printed for P. Wilson, at Gay's Head in Dame Street, and I. Jackson, in Meath Street, Dublin. |
