TILE WOUNDS OF C.ESAR.—At the last meeting
of the Academy of Medicine a curious paper was read,
on behalf of M. Dubois, of Amiens, entitled "In-
vestigations into the Death of Julius Caa3ar." M.
D übois, having looked up the various passages refer-
ring to this famous historic incident to be found in
Dion Cassius, Plutarch, Suetonius, Appian, &c., and
comparing them with one another, has fixed the spots
where the first four wounds were inflicted and the
names of the conspirators who inflicted them. The first
blow, struck by one of the brothers Casca, pro-
duced a slight wound underneath the left clavicle;
the second, struck by the other Casca, penetrated
the walls of the thorax towards the right; Cassius
inflicted the third wound in the face ; Decimus
Brutus gave the fourth stab in the region of the
groin. Contrary to the general opinion, Marcus
Brutus, though one of the conspirators, did not strike
the Dictator. After the first blows Caesar fainted,
and then all the conspirators hacked his body.
He was carried by three slaves in a litter to
his house. Anstistius, the physician, was caned in
and found 35 wounds, only one of which was, in
his opinion, fatal—that of the second Casca. It may
be remarked of this curious production of M. Dubois
that Shakspere, who seemed to know everything by
instinct, says—

"See what a rent the envious Casca made ;"
and though he mentions " the well-beloved Brutus"
as stabbing, he seems to have entertained some
doubt, for he speaks of Coesar's blood as rushing
out of doors after Brutus withdrew his steel, iu
order to be resolved "if Brutus so unkindly knocked
or no."
