THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP

About the Book:-In the year 1896 Author gave to the Public a monograph in which he endeavored to expose and unsettle, if not dispel, some popular delusions-as he regarded them about sleep. Of these is the notion that sleep is merely a state of rest of practical intertia of soul and body, or, at most, a periodical provision for the reparation of physical waste in the sense that a well, exhausted during the day, fills up in the hours of the night. He also tried to give some reasons for his conviction that no part of our lives is consecrated to nobler or more important uses than that usually spent in sleep, or contributes more if so much to differentiate us from beasts that perish. About the Author:- John Bigelow Sr. (November 25, 1817 – December 19, 1911) was an American lawyer, statesman and a historian who edited the complete works of Benjamin Franklin. He graduated in 1835 from Union College, where he was a member of the Sigma Phi Society and the Philomathean Society and was admitted to the bar in 1838. From 1849 to 1861, he was one of the editors and co-owners of the New York Evening Post. Bigelow began his political career as a reform Democrat, working with William Cullen Bryant in New York. In 1848, his antislavery convictions led him to leave the party, and he joined the Free Soil Party. In 1856, he led other former Democrats into the newly formed Republican Party and wrote a campaign biography of John C. Frémont, who won the Republican presidential nomination that year. In 1860, after the Republican Party's nominee, Abraham Lincoln, was elected president, Lincoln appointed him American Consul in Paris in 1861.
