cy, 90; his perversion of Cowper's his-
tory, 91; Dr. Johnson on the subject,

checking an erysipelatous complaint of
the face, 93; when he was sane, religion
was his solace and support, 94; religion
may, at an interval in the malady, ad-
minister consolation even to insanity,
95; but it is a strange objection to Cow-
per's religion, that it failed to support
him when irrational, 96; eleven distinct
errors alleged by the author of these

mates of human nature, 105, 6; falla-

theory, 106; instance of wilful misrepre-
