Excerpt from Observations on Health and Disease, and on the Physical Economy of Human Life, in Natal
However, we have been shut out from all this, and although the abstract definition of life must always con sist of the same major, minor, and conclusion, as when it was first developed, its character and condition in man has changed, re¿ecting the consequences of the fall in characters quite as legible, as do the moral correspondencies of good and evil, the first knowledge of which also marked this most eventful era in the early history of the world. The comparative conditions of health and disease have been superadded to human experience, and the word life, now includes no idea of continued enjoyment, free from unnatural vicissitudes, but, in popular language, expresses nothing more than a mere state of being, the necessary and consequent antithesis to what is understood by death.
