At the same instant there came, apparently from the air immediately above his bed, a sharp, ringing, tinkling sound, which I can only compare with the noise made by a bicycle alarm, though it differed from this in having a distinctly throbbing character. I have never, before or since, heard any sound which could be confounded with it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
