This trial account reflects contemporary anxiety about ether, which was used for the first time in 1846. Narcissa Mudge claimed she was raped by her dentist, Dr. Beale while unconscious from ether during a procedure. Beale was convicted. This account of the trial is written by someone who characterizes the dentist as an innocent victim. He argues that Mudge's accusation was based on false memory, a side-effect induced by ether. His case is supported by the testimony concerning the effects of ether by a group of dentists and other authorities. Bibliography of Early American Law 13774.

As result among Harvard alumni, Union military losses were 10% compared with a 21% casualty rate for the Confederate Army. The battle of Gettysburg (PA) had the highest amount of Harvard alumni serving in the Union Army who were killed in action (i.e. 11), in addition 3 Harvard alumni Confederates also died in this battle. Secondly, seven Crimson warriors made the supreme sacrifice for the Union at Antietam (MD) with 5 more were killed in the battles of Cedar Mountain (VA) and Fredericksburg (VA).

To that end an Historical Committee was chosen, consisting of five members of the Association ; and the duty of selecting an historian was dele gated to it. Subsequently the committee made choice of the undersigned. For the honor conferred upon me I heartily thank my comrades, although I think that their choice might have been better placed. Th^re are many in the regiment more competent to perform the duty than myself; yet I can say, however, that I believe there is no one more earnestly desirous that the story of the great trials, hardships, and almost unexampled heroism of those three eventful j*ears from 1861 to '64 shall be told to the public of to-day and succeeding generations. Neither is there one more anxious that justice be done to each and every member of the regiment. In commencing my work, I issued a circular, asking the assist ance of comrades, and also calling for diaries, memoranda, and material of any kind, from which to construct my story.

    Daniel Webster (1782-1852), c. 1870 Francis Carpenter (1830-1900) [after a painting by Joseph Ames, ca. 1855] Oil on canvas 36 ¼ x 29 1/2” (92.1 x 74.8 cm) Gift of John Seelye, 1999 Hewes Number: 140 Ex. Coll.: Gordon Lesley Ford (1823-1891), to persons unknown, to donor c. 1989. Exhibitions: Brooklyn Art Association, 1872. Daniel Webster, the great orator and statesman, began his first term in the United States Congress in 1813, the year before he was elected to membership in the recently founded American Antiquarian Society. At his death, Webster was remembered in the annals of the Society for his scholarship and intellect: ‘Mr. Webster was one of the earliest members of this Society. The services, which, as a statesman, he rendered to his country and the world will be those which most frequently commemorate him. But, at the same time, students and mean of letters will remember that, with all the vigor of his mind, he was a laborious student, and that his labors as a statesman have been permanent and invaluable gifts to English literature.’1 Webster was born in Salisbury, New Hampshire, and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1801. He practiced law in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, married Grace Fletcher2 in 1808, and, after delivering several rousing orations on democracy and patriotism, became interested in politics. Webster served two terms as a United States Congressman and, at age forty-five, was elected to the United States Senate where he earned fame for his battles against excessive tariffs, his support for states rights, and his well-honed political instincts.
