Abstract

The Cold now approaching and threatning, easily puts us in mind of the rigour and severity of the last unparallel'd Winter , wherein Men, Beasts, Vegetables, and most part of what had any life in it, felt its cruel assault; some proving able to withstand, and other forced to suffer under it's so unusual and rude a season.
