Sudden change exposed him to cold, and an incautious transition from a warm lecture-room to the evening air was attended with debilitating effects. Regarding his illness of less consequence than the delivery of his lectures, he exerted himself for several days, when prudence required an entire cessation from labour. This was the fatal step ; cold produced...
