Thus Liduine of Schiedam fell ill in 1395, and remained in that state till her death, thirty-three years subsequently.

At times when the rivers are high and the wind keeps back their waters they burst the dams and spread over a vast extent of country. The Zuider-Zee was so formed in 1170 and 1395, and covers a tract as large as the whole county of Essex. Twenty-six years later the river Maas broke its banks and flooded a wide district. Seventy-two villages were destroyed and 100,000 people lost their life.

See Muller's observations on this phenomenon, "Physiology of the Senses," Baley's translation, p. 1395. Sir David Brewster's Letters on Natural Magic, p. 39. Newton's explanation is as follows: "This story I tell you to let you understand, that in the observation related by Mr.
