About this ebook

The curious case which I am about to place before you, is referred
to, very pointedly, and more than once, in the extraordinary Essay upon
the drugs of the Dark and the Middle Ages, from the pen of Doctor
Hesselius.

            This Essay he entitles "Mortis Imago," and he, therein, discusses the Vinum letiferum, the Beatifica, the Somnus Angelorum, the Hypnus Sagarum, the Aqua Thessalliæ,
and about twenty other infusions and distillations, well known to the
sages of eight hundred years ago, and two of which are still, he
alleges, known to the fraternity of thieves, and, among them, as
police-office inquiries sometimes disclose to this day, in practical
use.
