Note 92 — AN INQUIRY INTO THE CAUSE OF ANIMAL LIFE. IN THREE LECTURES, DELIVERED IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Reading edition
A fever was excited in Cinna the poet, in consequence of his dreaming that he saw Cæsar, the night after he was assassinated, and was invited to accompany him to a dreary place, to which he pointed, in order to sup with him. Convulsions and other diseases, I believe, are often excited in the night, by terrifying or distressing dreams.
Plutarch's Life of M. Brutus.
