Perhaps you may prevent it; I leave you to judge of the most proper method; 'tis certain no time should be lost; fear is his predominant passion, and I believe you may fright him from coming hither, where he will certainly find a reception very disagreeable to him." "September 6, 1721.
Agreeably to your desire, I shall point out whatever is most remarkable in these augmentations. The buildings, which, since the year 1721, contain this vast collection, formally made part of the Hotel Mazarin. The entrance is by the Rue de la Loi. It is at present divided into four departments, and is managed by a conservatory, composed of eight members, namely: 1.
About a thousand persons had died in a twelvemonth, we are told, and, as we may infer, chiefly from this cause. In 1721, this disease, after a respite of nineteen years, again appeared as an epidemic.
He's a volcano of sincerity, and never sends out ashes. It's all red-hot lava. Have you met Cynthia Clarke?" "No." "She's over there, echoing my Echo. Would you like ?" "Very much indeed." "Then I'll " An extremely pale man, with long, alarmingly straight hair and wandering eyes almost the color of silver, said something to her. "Watteau? Oh, no he died in 1721, not in 1722," she replied.
Bradley in 1721 actually observed Mars with a telescope "moved by a machine that made it keep pace with the stars;" and Von Zach relates that he had once followed Sirius for twelve hours with a "heliostat" of Ramsden's construction. But these eighteenth-century attempts were of no practical effect.
Laguerre, in his age, feeble and dropsical, attended Drury Lane on the 20th April 1721, to witness his son's performance in a musical version of Beaumont and Fletcher's 'Island Princess; but, before the curtain rose, the poor old man was seized with an apoplectic fit, and died the same night. He was buried in the Churchyard of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields.
These are probably the same seen by Roggewin in 1721, which he called Baumann's Islands; but Bougainville has appropriated the discovery, as made by him in 1766, and given them the name they now bear, on account of the superior sailing vessels built there, and the remarkable skill the inhabitants display in their management.
Quoted by Hufeland, Van Wy mentions 1256 pounds of fluid being drawn from the abdomen of a woman in five years. Kaltschmid describes a case of ascites in which, in 12 paracenteses, 500 pounds of fluid were removed. In 1721 Morand reported two cases of ascites in one of which, by the means of 57 paracenteses, 970 pounds of fluid were drawn off in twenty-two months.
Pellew maintained a high character through life, and his memory was long preserved among the older inhabitants of the village. He died in 1721.
"I live in a sort of solitude that wants very little of being such as I would have it," she wrote to her sister, Lady Mar, in August, 1721. As a matter of fact, the solitude was more imaginary than real, for round about there was a small colony of friends. She was, indeed, very rarely lonely. "My time is melted away in almost perpetual concerts," she told her sister.
