In the year 1896 Author gave to the Public a monograph in which he endeavored to expose and unsettle, if not dispel, some popular delusions-as he regarded them about sleep. Of these is the notion that sleep is merely a state of rest of practical intertia of soul and body, or, at most, a periodical provision for the reparation of physical waste in the sense that a well, exhausted during the day, fills up in the hours of the night. He also tried to give some reasons for his conviction that no part of our lives is consecrated to nobler or more important uses than that usually spent in sleep, or contributes more if so much to differentiate us from beasts that perish.
