I understood him to be Mr.Perceval, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer.

I further saw the murderer laid hold of by several of the gentlemen in the room.
Upon waking I told the particulars above related to my wife; she treated the matter lightly, and desired me to go to sleep, saying it was only a dream.

I soon fell asleep again, and again the dream presented itself with precisely the same circumstances.

After waking a second time and stating the matter again to my wife, she only repeated her request that I would compose myself and dismiss the subject from my mind.

Upon my falling asleep the third time, the same dream without any alteration was repeated, and I awoke, as on the former occasions, in great agitation.
