Like an animal in a state of hibernation, waiting for the external aid of spring to warm it into life and power, so does the negro continue to doze out a vegeto-animal existence in the wilderness, unable to extricate himself therefrom -- his own will being too feeble to call forth the requisite muscular exertion. ❋ E.

"Generally speaking, the French grapes, when ripe, contain such proportions of sugar and the vegeto-animal principles as are well adapted for producing the vinous fermentation; but when the summer is cold or damp the proportion of sugar is less, and the predominance of the mucilage (it is from this mucilage that vinegar is formed) renders the liquor weak. ❋ Unknown (1863)
The town of Kingston, in the Island of St. Vincent, is so situated says Report Armstrong, "as to have all the elements necessary for the production of this vegeto-animal poison, heat, moisture, decayed and decaying vegetable matter, with as large a proportion reptiles, insects and other animal matter as is found in other tropical countries; yet strange to say, the town of Kingston is one of most healthy spots in the West Indias. ❋ Charles Earl (1851)
