[Footnote 90: See Thucydides, l. ii. c. 47 - 54, p. 127 -
133, edit. Duker, and the poetical description of the same
plague by Lucretius. (l. vi. 1136 - 1284.) I was indebted
to Dr. Hunter for an elaborate commentary on this part of
Thucydides, a quarto of 600 pages, (Venet. 1603, apud
Juntas,) which was pronounced in St. Mark's Library by
Fabius Paullinus Utinensis, a physician and philosopher.]
