alarming , in proportion to the number of teeth which come at the same time . Were they all to appear at once , children would fall victims to the pain and excessive irritation , but Providence has so wisely and
benevolently disposed them that they usually appear one after another , with a distance of time between each tooth or each pair of teeth , The first incisor that appears is generally in the lower
jaw , and is followed by one in the upper jaw . Children have in their first teeth twenty , viz . eight incisores , four canini , and eight grinders : these are shed , or drop out between the age of seven and twelve , and are
succeeded by what are called the permanent or adult teeth , which are of a firmer texture , and have longer fangs , and which , as we have observed , are thirty-two in number . There is in the tongue a small bone nearly of the figure of the
lower-jawbone , and which , though not generally classed with those in the head or trunk , may be described in this place : this bone lies immediately between the root of the tongue and the upper part of the wind-pipe , and carries upon
it a valvular cartilage , for shutting the passage and preventing any thing from getting down this tube , while its legs extend along the sides of the throat , keeping the wind-pipe and gullet extended , in the same sort of
way as a bag might be extended by two fingers . This bone is the centre of the motions of the tongue , being the origin of those muscles which compose chiefly the bulk of the tongue —of the motions of the wind-pipe and
the root of the tongue , mid it joins both together—of the motions of the gullet , for its legs surround the upper part of the gullet , and join it to the wind-pipe : it also forms the centre for all the motions of the throat in
general : for muscles come down from f j'e chin to this bone ; to move the woat backwards . _ IM ^ I ^ M . — tmm

was not the first crime of this precocious villain , who had long announced a cruel disposition ; he made it his sport to mutilate the limbs of his companions , and he was seen to put burning coals into the shirt of a little child . This monster had a most
interesting appearance ; his face , his voice , his manners expressed gentleness . During the trial he shewed the firmness and presence of mind of a
man . However , in consideration of his youth , the punishment of death was commuted for twenty years' imprisonment and six hours wearing the iron collar .
