Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Charles Brockden Brown, Vol. 2 of 2: Together With Selections From the Rarest of His Printed Works, From His Original Letters, and From His Manuscripts Before Unpublished In the year, Mr. Brown saw the desolation of his native city by that pestilence which is known by the name of yellow fever. His fathers family, his brethren and himself were among those who fled in time to avoid its influence and to escape the necessity of witnessing those scenes of loathsome misery which distinguished that disease. But in 1798, Charles, by remaining in New York until too late to fly, either with safety or propriety, was made an inmate of the disease, beheld it in its most horrid forms, and saw expiring, the victims of its irresistible power, men as much distinguished for their talents and acquirements as for every virtue which can dignify our nature. The city of New York had been visited several years in succession by the pestilence, but its inhabitants flattered themselves each year that the afflictions of the foregoing would not be renewed. Many however removed with their families each summer into the country. Among this number was the writer, and Mr. Brown had frequently been his guest at Perth Amboy on such occasions. At this period he was pleasantly situated with his friends Smith and Johnson, and when the rumour of the yellow fever having again broke out in certain quarters of the town reached him, he was persuaded that as their neighbourhood was free from infection, they were safe.
