Begun in 1707, the journal is continued by Logan in English with patient case histories, 1713-14. Other volumes include "An Ironical Panegyrick on Drunkenness," n.d., Speeches in the House of Commons, 1640, and a Biographical Memoir of Arnold of Brescia, Rienzi, Savonaroloa, Ximenes, and Fra Paolo, n.d.
