At home all day. Nothing material. Read part of the 6th volume Universal Magazine wherein I find the following reason for the causes of apoplexies:
“An apoplexy is produced by an overcharge of the small blood vessels in the head, which breaking, and, in the course of the circulation the blood making repeated pushes through the fractured pipe, the brain at length becomes to be so compressed by its extravasation as to be no longer able to perform the due secretions of the animal spirits, when immediate death ensues, except any relief can be Given by opening a vein.”
In the evening read the second book of Paradise Lost.
