Times are now greatly altered in Ireland; all the actors in the recorded enormities are gone to answer for their own deeds; and it may be hoped, that both Proteftants and Catholics, forgetful of former animofities, and regardless of each other's fpeculative opinions, will, without turbulence, under a due fenfe of the common duty and advantages of Chriftian charity, cultivate their mutual intereft by focially co-operating in every measure for promoting the profperity of their country.

The Author of this Effay confines his enquiries to that peculiar fpecies of fever which is ufually called the jail or hofpital fever. He firft fhews, from indifputable authority, that this difeafe may be produced in confequence of a number of men being confined in a fmall space. After having established this fact, which indeed is univerfally allowed, he proceeds to explain the nature of the contagion, and how it is generated, and lastly, how it is rendered active. He thinks that contagion is an excretion from the lungs, in confequence of fever; that it is only foluble in phlogisticated air; and, confequently, that it can only be conveyed in that menftruum. He fuppofes alfo, that the infectious matter is precipitated out of its folution by the addition of dephlogisticated or pure air; that this precipitate is inoffenfive and inactive, and when in that ftate, forms the fomes of the fever; that this fomez, by being re-diffolved in phlogifticated air, becomes again active, and capable of producing feSuch is the fummary of the Author's theory. His practice in preventing the spreading of the contagion is, to precipitate the infectious matter. To effect this, he recommends many judicious methods of ventilation, which feem to merit the attention of those who have the care of crowded jails, fhips, hofpitals, &c. vers. APP. REV. July, 1788.
