    Intelligence . —Law Report : Lawrence v . Smith . 315

    Untitled Article

    dissolve the injunction which had been granted in this case , to restrain the defendant from printing , publishing and disposing of a book under the above title . He stated , that Mr . Lawrence was a professor of surgery , &ud lecturer to the Royal College of Surgeons : the defendant was a respectable bookseller m

    the Strand . The injunction ? Va $ granted on the ground of piracy , 'llie Lectures in contention were delivered by the pJaintiff , at the College of Surgeons , and he afterwards printed them ; the defendant had put them together , and published them in one vohune , and this was the piracy complained of . What he ( the

    learned counsel ) had to contend for was , that the plaintiff had no copyright in the work , foi' it was a publication denying Christianity and revelation , which was contrary to public policy and morality . He would not have his Lordship take it on his ipse dlvit that they were so , but those Lectures had undergone criticism uy persons in the habit of performing

    that duty ; they were reprobated by the writers of the Edinburgh Medical Review , the Quarterly Review , by the Lecturer on Christianity in the Lhiiversity of Oxford , and by the Rev . Mr . Whitrleld , of Rath , as being irreligious , and of such a tendency that public policy ought not to tolerate them . The object of the publication was to send out to the world the

    doctrine , that when man dies , his soul dies with him ; denying the immortality of the soul . He would admit that the Lectures were most abjy and eloquently written , which only tended to give the poison they contained greater influence over weak minds- It was impossible that he could express his opinion of the mis ^ - chievous teudeiicv of the Lectures better

    than it was expressed in the Edinburgh JSIedioal Review—that they could not believe that the plaintiff would have attempted to have brought his pupils into a state of total darkness ; for what was the doctrine of the plaintiff?—that a man

    had no more soul than an oyster , or aaiy other fish or insect . The learned counsel then quoted several passages from the Lectures , to piove , that the death of the soul was announced U > them in as strong terms as it could he pronounced ; it was no accidental doubt that was expressed

    In them , Init u was a positive assertion , and read at the Royal College of Surgeons . He not only denied that the race of man sprang from Adam and Eve , but went so far as to say there was uo truth in the deluge . Having called his Lordship ' s attention to the passages , it would be for him to decide whether the plaintiff could have a copy light in such a work ,
