Nor were these all my miseries; in fact, they were but a sort of running base to a thousand other strange and frightful fancies; the mere skeleton to a whole body-corporate of horrors. I became dreamy, was haunted by what I had read, frequently finding a Hottentot, or a boa-constrictor, in my bed.
In spite of these changes in principles and spirit, the organs of communal government are almost everywhere the same. Commonly this board has a president, known in France and England as the mayor, in Germany as the burgomaster, who represents the body-corporate in all negotiations with the seigneur or the Crown or other communes.
The moral aspects of petty crime he never considers at all, nor does he, in fact, reflect upon anything as it is reflected on by the humblest peasant who goes to church, or who in any way feels himself connected as an integral part of that great body-corporate Society. The Old Fortune-Teller and her Brother.
This locker was big enough to admit the body-corporate of the skipper. It was not a particularly clean place, for a portion of it had been economized for the stowage of the charcoal, which the skipper preferred to wood. But he did not rebel at the blackness of the retreat he had chosen, for he wore his boating dress, which was hardly stylish enough for a dude or a dandy.
There is a tingling sensation in first walking under the shadow of those walls, uncouth as they are, and in feeling that you belong to them, that you are a member, as it were, of the body-corporate, subject to an actual code of printed laws, and to actual moneyed fines varying from a shilling to fifty cents!
In the preparing room are thirteen tables of the muscles in a human body, each muscle in its proper position. This society is a body-corporate for the practice of physic within London, and several miles about it. The president and censors are chosen annually at Michaelmas.
Could the world have been sued like a Body-Corporate, my father had brought an action upon the case, and trounced it sufficiently; but to fall foul of individuals about it as every soul who had mentioned the affair, did it with the greatest pity imaginable; 'twas like flying in the very face of his best friends: And yet to acquiesce under the report, in silence was to acknowledge it openly, at least in the opinion of one half of the world; and to make a bustle again, in contradicting it, was to confirm it as strongly in the opinion of the other half.
