Excerpt from The Accidents of Human Life: With Hints for Their Prevention, and the Removal of Their ConsequencesThe design of this little volume, is to do something to wards the removal of the ignorance complained of, by communicating to general readers, and especially to young persons, such information as I have been able to collect on the subject of bodily accidents in general, whether arising from fire, water, journeying, heat, cold, amusements, violent exertion, or other cause, together with the best methods I could think, or hear, or read of, for avoiding those accidents, and alleviating or removing their consequences.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
