In the London journals of January, 1824, the following anecdote from a
Carlow paper bears the above title:--“A young lady, who died in this
town, had been some time previous to her death attended by a gentleman
of the medical profession. On the evening of her decease, as this
gentleman was sitting in company with a friend of his, and in the act of
taking a glass of punch, he imagined he saw the lady walking into the
room where himself and his friend were sitting, and, having but a few
hours before visited her, and found her in a dying state, the shock that
his nerves experienced was so great, that the glass which held the punch
fell from his hands, and he himself dropped on the floor in a fainting
fit. After he had perfectly recovered himself, and made inquiry about
the lady, it was ascertained that a few minutes before the time the
medical gentleman imagined he had seen her in his friend’s apartment,
she had departed this life.” Perhaps this vision may be illustrated by
others.
