17U L LE, R'S NOTICE of PAPER, CONTAININGI
some QUAINT and DAINTY CONCEITS.

/

Expect not that I should by way of preface enu-
merate the several inventions whereby the ancients
did communicate, and continue their notions to pos-
terity. First by writing on leaves of trees still remem-
bered, when we call such a scantling of paper a folio,
or leaf. Hence from leaves men 'proceeded to the bark
of trees, as more solid, still countenanced in the nota-
tion of the word hiber. Next they wrote in labels,
or sheets of lead, wherein the letters were deeply. en-
graven, being a kind of printing before printing; and
to this I refer the words of Job (an author allowed
contemporary with, if not senior to Moses himself.)
'" Oh, that my words were now written, oh, that they
were printed in a book."
To omit any other devices in after ages to signify
their conceptions, paper was first made of a broad
fiag (not unlike our great dock) growing in and nigh
Canopus in Egypt, which it seems was a staple com-
modity of that country, and substantial enough to
bear the solemn curse of the Prophet. " The paper
reeds by the brooks shall wither, be driven away, and
be no more."

Our modern paper is made of grinded rags, and
yet this new artificial loth still thankfully retain the
name of the old natural paper. It may pass for the
emblem of men of mean extraction, who by art and
industry, with GOD'S blessing thereon, come to high
preferment. " He raised' the poor out of the dust,
and lifted; the needy out of the dunghill, that he
may set him with his Princes, even with the Princes
of his people." One may find; if searching into the
pedigree of paper, it cometh into the world at the
dimgate, raked thence in rags, which refined by art
(especially after precious secrets are written therein),
is found fit to be choicely kept in the Cabinets of the
greatest Potentates. Pity it is that the first author
of so useful an invention cannot with any assurance
be assigned. - -
There are almost as many kinds of paper, as con-
ditions of persons between the Emperor and Beggar,
Imperial, Royal, Ciirdiftlal, and-iadoiifiwards to.that
coarse paper called Bairereficir,'uilifoft.only for chap-
men to wrap their waves therein.:. Paw porticipotes.

'leon • Bonapmte's mental sufferings in St. Helena

the iir is. "pure and temperate, and Europeans. enjoy
their health, and retain tke vigour of their constitu-
tion, as in their native country. _ _ .

• " Schirrus or cancer of the stomach is generally
an obscure disease; I know of no certain diagnosis of
it ; nausea, vomiting, and obstinate costiveness, are
also* characteristic of other diseases of the
.chylo-
pectic Viscera. Nevertheless, in the case of Napoleon
Bonaparte, I did entertain a notion, that some nuirbid
alteration of structure iu •the stomach • had taken
place. My attention was first drawn to this when I
learned that his father had died of schirrus of the
pylorus ; and on the '27Th and 28th of April, when he
began' to vomit the dark coloured of e.risive fluld, I
had little doubt but that ulceratioii,liad taken place
in the stomach.
The history Napoleon Bonaparte hi al self gave me
of his illness, together with cot respond ing informition
I had from persons composing his family,'Convinced
me that he •had beea' longer affected with the.dijease
than Was imagined. I was infra:Med that during the
whole of the year .Is2o. Ttehad nausea and vomiting
occasionally, and. ft equent'aecesfriens of fever.- He
lost altogether his natural appetite, and his county-
mince became remarkibly pallid. Even so far back
as the latter end of the year 1817 he was alllcted
with pains in the stomach, nausea, and vomiting,
especially after taking food.
•
" lam therefore inclined to think that the disease was
then in its incipient stage, because flour that time all
the symptoms progressively increased till he died.—
The anomalous accessions el feier, and other consti-
tutional derangements he had been so longsairecied
with, were, in my opinion, hectic symptoms; and I
firmly believe that the sharp febrile attack he had on
the 17th of March, although supposcd to bethecom-
mencement of the cii:.cat-e, nothing mote than
aggravated paroxysm of hectic. 'Every piglet-Woody
is aware how irregular fits tihectieare, add how they
vary from one another,' seldom continuing to return
in the same manner. In Napoleon Bonaparte's care,
the pulse was never very frequent ; I co&d not, how-
ever, find out how it beat when lie was in good health ;
its standard may hive,heen,loal: There litefe4 dis;.
eases in 'Which the pulse.is'i betted diagnosis'. than in
hectic fever ; yet, in some patients, although we find
the health and streng; h wasting daily, the, puleoests
as quietly and regularly as in perfect health.'
