T O T H E KING S I R, T HIS work had no other claim to the honour with which it is diftinguifhed by y o u r m a j e s t y, than as it illuftrates one part of fcience hitherto imperfeftly underftood, and as it contains the foundation of another part of fcience, on which the lives and happinefs oI millions muft depend. It gave me an heart-felt fatisfačtion, to obferve how much this con- fideration recommended it to royal patronage. When refpeči:, reverence, and gratitude rile to a certain degree, and the occafion is public and folemn, the freedom of language is reftrained : and I fhould be guilty of an abufe of that gracious condefcenfion, with which i am honoured, were 1 to attempt to exprefs by words the fentiments of my heart. But, for the fake of thofe, who, placed at a diftance from the royal pr esence, may be more able to ferve the public, than I have been, let me be per-mitted to fay, that, although to acquire knowledge, and to communicate it to others, has been the pleafure, the bufmefs, and the ambition of my life; yet, fince I have had the honour to be a fervant in your royal house, I have feit an additional incitement to affiduity, being convinced that an unremitting endeavour to be ufeful to fociety, is the readieft, and the moft certain way to the favour of our sovereign. That the peculiar blelTmg of this country, the influence of a k i n g who fmcerely wifhes to encourage every improvement, a king who takes a part with all his fubje&s in their happinefs, and in their diftrefs, may be long preferved to us, is the fervent prayerof, SIR, YOUR MAJESTY’S moft faithful Subjekt, and moft dutiful Servant WILLIAM HUNTER. ■ ' " ’ o', s O C1 - ' t-:" - ii- v : i . v->- ■ c« /&vyV^';.v"- • ■-■ ::*r - - ■ o; :; 1 . ■ ■ . . . PROOEMIUM P R E F A C E QUOD omnes fere homines, in ftudiis fcientiarum verfati, diu multumque defiderarunt, linguam fcilicet per univerfum terrarum orbem cognitam atque perceptam, id nobis ex parte aliqua fup-peditat tabularum aenearum fculptura, ad veras rerum formas exhibendas adprime accommodata. Imo hujufce artificii ea eft utilitas, ut in naturae explicatione faepenumero plus valeat quam quaevis verborum copia, aut vis dicendi. Quodcunque enim oculo fideli inde fubjicitur (fpe&et modo aliquis argumenti haud ignarus) animo con-feftim arripitur, memoriaeque alte impreffum haud prorfus excidit. Lentior fermonis mora, et vis hebetior. Proinde ex quo tempore hoc artificium ufibus hominum communiter inferviit, via brevior faciliorque patefa&a eft ad inventa quaelibet tum divulganda, tum confervanda; et rerum fimul naturalium cognitio, ab exiguis profeda initiis, paulatim eo ufque increvit, ut feculi hujufce, omnium ornatiffimi, fummum fere ornamentum jam tandem extiterit. Caeterarum artium incrementa, aequis faltem paffibus, comitata eft anatomia. Etenim non pauci recentiorum, viri excellentis ingenii atque judicii, labore plurimo, nec minori folertia, corporis humani tum fabricam tum oeconomiam perveftigarunt. Ex his plurimi artem hanc graphicam ancillantem fibi adhibuerunt; praecipuifque inde repertis fuis feliciter illuftratis, effecerunt, ut ars anatomica, hominum generi, fi qua alia, utilis et fruduofa, intelle&u fimul facilior fieret, fimul cultu jucundior. Reftabat tamen pars una humani corporis, eaque five ilruclurae fuae perelegantis, five muneris officiique ratione,primas tenens, adifciplinae hujus profefforibus non fatis explorata. Reftabat fcilicet uterus humanus. Abfit vero, ut viris hifce egregiis vitio detur, quod rem quafi negle&am habuerint, cujus penitius perfpiciendae copia rara erat et infrequens. Pauciffimis enim contigerit necefie eft, ut tot cadavera fecuerint, quot ad conditionem uteri gravidi, variis temporibus variam, perveftigandam, nedum demonftrandam, fufficerent. De aliis itaque filendum, ubi laudare nefas. Quod ad auftorem attinet, anno ille primum MDCCLI. felici ufus eft occafione id in humano corpore explorandi, quod in brutis jam olim quaefiverat. Mulier quaedam, graviditatis fuae menfibus prope exa&is, repentinam obierat mortem. Cadaver, adhuc integrum, cultro fubječhim eft. Operi favit tempef-tas. Cera, vafis rite inje&a, voto refpondit. Repertus eft piftor, vir ille in fuo genere adprime folers. Partes fingulae, multis coram adftantibus, exploratae funt atque excuffae, ut omnis rei veritas firma fatis audoritate comprobari poffet atque ftabiliri. Sub his aufpiciis, aliquot menfium fpatio decurfo, decem primae tabulae perfede delineatae fuerant; partes ipfae identidem publice expofitze ; et ea quae de fingulis animadverfa fuerant ac notata, palam dida. Audoris inde animum fubiit, fe rem difciplinae hujufce fautoribus haud ingratam fadurum, 11 hiftoriam uteri gravidi anatomicam ederet, his decem tabulis illuminatam. Confilium placuit. Opus in manus artificum, maxima laude florentium, traditum eft; et pecunia collatitia a plurimis pro more repraefentata. Alterum interea cadaver in manus incidit, quod quidem, coeli licet tempeftas minus jam anatomiae a^ica effet, haud nuiio in pretio habendum fuit; quandoquidem huic acceptae referuntur figurae aliquot, ab hoc inftituto haud alienae, dignaeque adeo vifae, quae operi, fup-plementi loco, adjicerentur. Dum autem fuper his operam navabat fculptor, en tertium cadaver, quam opportune! Etenim illud non modo quaedam, prius obfcura, luci dedit, fed novis etiam figuris adornandis materiam aptiffimam fubminiftravit. Cum audor huic fe accingebat negotio, animo deftinavit decem tabulas, modo didas, in lucem proferre, jadum quafi aliquod fundamen, cui alia plura, de hac parte anatomiae, poftea adjicere ac fuper-. ftruere fperabat, fi quando per otium ipfi liceret hanc rem altius in- veftigare. rHE art oß engraving fupplies us, upon many occafions, with zuhat has been the great defideratum oß the lovers offcience, an univerjal lan~ guage. JVay, it conveys clearer ideas of moß natural obječts, than words can expreß; makesßronger impreßßons upon the mind; and to every perjon converjant with the fiubječl, gives an immediate comprehenßion oß what it From the time when this art came more generally into uße, it has been much more eaßy both to communicate and to preßerve dißcoveries and im-provements; and natural knowledge has been gradually rißing, tili it is at length become the difiinguifhing charačlerifiic oß the moß enlightened age oß the world. Anatomy has, at leaß, kept pace in improvement with the other branches oß natural knowledge. Many oß the moderns, through much labour and patience, as well as ingenuity and judgment, have thrown conßiderable lights upon the firučture and operations oß the human body; and they have parti-cularly by engravings, made theßudy oßthat art, in which humanity is ßo much interefied, both more eaßy and pleaßant. Moß oß the principal parts oß anatomy have, in this manner, been ßucceßßully illußrated. One part liowever, and that the moß curious, and certainly not the leaß important oß all, the pregnant wornb, had not been treated by anatomißs with proportionableßucceßs. Lei itnot, however,be objeäed to them^that they ne-glečled what in ßact it was rarely in their power to cultivate. Few, or none oß the anatomißs, had met with a ßußficient number oßfubječts, either ßor inveßigating, or ßor demonßrating the principal circumßances oß utero-geßation in the humanßpecies. But let what cannot be praißed, in others, be pcßfed over in ßüence. With refpečl to the preßent undertaking, in the year 1751 the author met with the firßßavourable opportunity oß examining, in the human ßpecies, what beßore he had been ßudying in brutes. A woman diedßuddenly, when very near the end oß her pregnancy; the body was pro-cured beßore any ßenßible putreßadlion had begun; the ßeaßon oß the year was ßavourable to dijßeötion; the injeÜion oß the blood-veßfels proved ßucceßsßul; a very able painter, in this way, wasßound; every part was examined in the moß public manner, and the truth was thereby well authenticated. In the courße oßßome months, the drawings oß the ßrß ten plates were finßhed, and ßrom time to time theßubjeä was publicly exhibited, withßuck remarks as had occurred in the examination oß theßveralparts. Many lovers oß this ßudy approved oß the author s propoßal to publißi the anatomy oß the gravid uterus, illußrated by thoße ten plates: the work was immediately put into the hands oßour beß artifts; andßubßcriptions were received. In the mean time a ßecondßubjedl was procured; which, though the wea~ ther happened to be very unßavourable, ajßorded aßewßupplemental figures, oß importance enough to be taken into the work. And beßore the engravings were finßhed, a third fiubječt occurred very opportunely, which cleared up fome dijßiculties, andßurnißedßome ißeßul additionalfigures. The original plan having been only to publißi the firß ten plates, as a ground-work ßorßarther improvements in this branchoß anatomy, to be added whenever good opportunities ßiould be ojßered, the author now began to en-tertain hopes oj being able to give a much more compleat work. He ßoreßaw that veftigare. Jam vero majora quaedam animo complečti, et etiam fpem fovere aufus eft, fore ut opus aliquod exaedificare poffet, quod ad per-fečtionem abfolutionemque propius perveniret. Praevidit enim, in hac urbe, tanta hominum multitudine referta, annorum aliquot fpa-tio, occafionem omnia ea quae ad gravidum uterum pertinent, obfer-vandi viro, hoc agenti, haud fortaiTe defuturam ; unde libi facultas dari poffet aliquod quafi fyftema condere, variafque illas mutationes, fingulis graviditatis menfibus proprias, figuris exprimere. Ejufmodi fere eft hocopus; quod, longo tempore promiffum, tandem aliquando in medium prodit. Ut id fane ad exitum perduci poffet, moras trahere neceffe fuit, praeter opinionem diuturnas. Quoties autem auctor fecum reputat has moras operi minime infruduofas fuiffe, abunde fentit, quo fe confoletur. Quod autem hoc argumentum illuftrandi uni alicui mortali tam pulchra occafio toties obtigerit, in caufa fuerunt tum varii cafus, tum amicorum multorum gratiftima fubfidia. Tabularum harum ultima e manu artificis vix excefferat, cum datum fuit delineare embryonem mole minorem, quam quem antea vidiffe au&ori unquam contigerat; et haud ita pridem conceptus in tuba fallopiana, res haec animadverfione egregie digna, figurarum numerum adauxit. Hae figurae, et fi qua alia, ejufdem argumenti, occurrent, vel in tabula his adjicienda, vel cum uteri gravidi defcriptione anatomica, quam aučior fecum meditatur, data occafione, in publicum aliquando proferentur. Hačienus quidem ipfi id otii non conceffum eft, quod ad hanc operis partem abfolvendam effet fatis. Quod fi cafu aliquo improvifo impeditus fuerit, quo minus id, quod cupiat, poffit exfequi, perfuafum fibi habet, haud defuturum aliquem, huic muneri obeundo parem. Multi enim funt, qui au&orem de his rebus publice differentem fepe fepius audierint; multi quos ille opinionis acfententiae fuae participes fecerit. FIGURARUM fere anatomicarum duplex eft et diverfa ratio. Ab altera fimplex rei imago, qualis oculo vifa eft, talis delineatur. Altera, una cum vifis, etiam excogitata exhibet; nec tam ad oculum artificis, quam ad ingenium memoriamque accommodatur. Prioris generis exempla apud Bidloo extant; pofterioris apud Eufiachium. Fieri non poteft, quin figura ifta, quae fit ex fideli naturae imitatione, et ex rei unius contemplatione enafcitur, in quibufdam fepe partibus indiftinda aut minus perfeda effe videatur. Altera autem, ex ingenio nata, quae autem non fit, nifi per laborem, et obfervationem et experientiam multiplicem, id uno intuitu videndum exhibet, quod fortaffe non nifi ex rerum varietate colligendum fuerat. Porro haec eft ea, qu^ et meliorem ordinem, et compendium facilius, et majorem perfpicacitatem admittit. Alteram quidem contemplans oculus, elegantia ac concinnitate naturae oblečiatur: in altera, geometrici cujuf-dam diagrammatis, accurati quidem exa<5tique, fed nudi, fed inornati fimilitudinem agnofcit. Illa rem quamlibet fpeftatori, tanquam prae-fentem, fubjicit, et dat percipere: haec tantummodo defcribentis vice fungitur, remque delineatam in animi confpeßu ponit. Prior autem pofteriori in hoc praeftat maxime, quod ea, quae revera vifa funt, exhibens, fpeciem quandam veritatis prae fe fert; et fit prope modum aeque nefcia fallere, ac illud ipfum quod affimulatur. De hoc opere, quod naturae ipfius fpeciem proponit, alii fortaffe aliud judicium ferent. Nifi enim auctorem fallat vana fpes fua atque opinio, multi funt apud quos ille nec cenfebitur operam inutilem pofuiffe, nec inepte erogaffe pecuniam; apud quos fcilicet figurarum magnitudo, elegantia, ac varietas aliqua in laude ponentur. Contra, non deerunt, quibus magna pars fumptus fupervacanea omnino atque infruftuofa fuiffe videbitur. Contendent fcilicet operis hujus utilitatem ad plures potuiffe pertingere, fi figurae omnes in formam ardiorem contractae fuiffent; fi fculptura manu minus delicata fuiffet elaborata; fi aliquot etiam figurae, utpote aliis non abfimiles, omnino omiffae. t at, in the courje offome years, by diligence he might procure in this great City, fo many opportumties of Jludying the gravid uterus, as to be enabled to ma e up a tole'rable fyflem; and to exhibit, by figures, ali the principal c anges that happen m the mne months of utero-gefiation. Such is the wor zv ic , at lengthis offered to the public. The execution of it has tndeed taken up more time, than what was atfirfi expetied: but it gives the author no Jmallfatisfatiion to refleti, that the delay of public ation has con-tnbuted not a little to the value of the work. That one perfon fhould have had fo many opportumties of illufirating this fubjeti, has been owing to fortunate circumfiances, as well as to the affifiance of many fnends. Even fince the lafi piate was finifhed, he had an oppor-tunity of making a drawing of a younger embryo than he had before feen\ and he has likewife made fome figures from a very curious cafe, which he lately met with, namely a conception in the fallopian tube. Thefe, and what-ever may hereafter occur, he will offer to the public upon fome future occa-fion; probably m the way of a fupplemental piate, or with the anatomical defcription of the gravid uterus, which he propofes to publifh at füll length. Hehas not hitherto had leifure to finifh that part of the work, But if he fhoidd be pi eventedfrom doing it, by any unforefeen accident, it will be in the power of many gentlernen of the profefjion to do it for him, as he has confiantly explamed his obfervations on this fubjeti in his public letiures. AK ATO M IC A L figures are made in two very different way s; one is tke fempleportrait, in which the objeti is reprefented exatily as it was feen; the other is a reprefentation of the objeti under fuch circumfiances as wer e not aölually feen, but conceived m the Imagination. Bidloo has given us fpecimens of the firfi kind; Euftachius of the latter. That figure which is a clofe reprefentation of nature, and which is finifhed from a view of one fubjeti, will often be, unavoidably,fomewhat indifiinti or defetiive m fome parts .* the other, being a figure of fancy, made up per-hapsfrom a vanety of fiudies after Nature, may exhibit in one view, what could only be feen in feveral obječls ; and it admits of a better arrangement, of abridgement, and of greater precifion. The one may have the elegance and harmony of the natural objeti; the other has commonly the hardnefs of a geo-metrical diagram : the onefhews the oltfeti, or gives perception; tlie other only defcribes, or gives an idea of it. A very effential advantage of the firfi is, that as it reprefents what was atiually feen, it carnes the mark of truth, and becomes almofi as infallible as the objeti itfelf With regard to this work, which is a faithful reprefentation of what was atiually feen, thejudgement of the public will probably be divided. Many will approve of the labour and expenfe which have been befiowed upon it, and commend the largenefs, elegance, and variety of the figures. Others will think that a great part of the expenfe might have been fpared, and the work thereby rendered of more general ufe, if the figures had been madeto afmaller fcale, if . tlie engraving had been lefs finifhed, and if fome of the figures, which are very Jmilar to other s, had been omitted. Cum autem figurae, de quibus agitur, ea mente atque confilio fingi foleant, ut ab iis, quantum fieri poteft, explicetur tam vera natui a partium [nempe earum habitudo et ftručluraj quam forma externa, pofitura, ac nexus ; magnitudo illis aliqua concedatur ne-ceffe eft; aliter enim partes, ut aiunt, componentes haud fatis diftin&e delineari poffunt. Quod fi magnitudo rei propria fculpturae quo-dammodo apta fit ac conveniens, ea ipfa, utpote quae obfervatu dig-nxiiima eft, haud dubio eligenda eft praecipue. His de caufis figurae omnes, quotquot hic proferuntur, adjuftum naturi modum perfečbe iunt, paucis tantum exceptis, quae in formam naturali anguftiorem coguntur, Anatomicalfigures being intended to fhew, as much as poffible, the true nature, that is, the pe culiar habit and compofition of parts, as well as the out ward form, fituation and connetiion of them, fhoidd certainly be large ; other-wife the fmaller component parts can not be difiintily reprefented; and if the natural fue of the objeti be tolerably fit for an engraving, that mufi be of all others the very befi, as it has the advantage of ßiewing fuch an important cir-cumfiance. Upon thefe confiderations, ali the figures in this work were made of the natural fue, except afew which were reduced in fize, and one or two of minute objetis which, on that account, were magnified. For coguntur, nec non una atque altera ex rebus minutiffimis, quas auclor idcirco ampliandas curavit. lifdem edam de cauns confiat hujufcemodi figuris deberi accurationem quandam atque elegantiam. Profedlo in pidlura faepe fit, ut oculi leviffima adumbratione oblenientur; maxime ubi vel ipfum tabulae argumentum adeo pervulgatum eft, ut vis imaginandi facile excitetui, id, quodcunque defuerit, flatim adimpletura (ficuti iis in tabulis, ubi hominum effigies, aut aliae res, pariter notae, exhibentur) vel uni partes rerum minutiores aciem pene oculorum fugiunt, ut ea in tabula chorographica, quae, propter diflantiam fuam, parum cernuntur. Sed in anatomia, ut et in rei naturalis hiftoria, argumentum tabulae fpedatori vel omnino effe incognitum ponitur, vel non fatis exploratum; partefque minimae, pariter cum majoribus, ftudium di-ligentiamque requirunt. Operam quidem dare, ut fumma arte elaborentur eae figurarum partes, per quas nihil, aut parum exprimitur, nifi quod prius fit expreffum, hominis effiet vehementer et opera tua et pecunia abutentis. Harum igitur figurarum pars maxima ultra mediocritatemperfedia eft; aliquot fumma expolitione atque artificio ornatae; leviora, vel ea quae prius fuerant aliqua ex parte llluftrata, leviter tačla; ea vero quae fecunda vice proferuntur, lineis fere exterioribus adumbrata. Cuilibet homini, cui judicium fit paulo feverius, in proclivi erit id audlori vitio dare, quod opus hoc haud fatis jufto ordine, procef-ferit, nec formam preflam fatis atque concinnam induat. Ouod fi ille difficultates, quotquot autftorem circumvenerint, contemplatione fuerit complexus, conamina haecce, qualiacunque fint, animo magis aequo excipiet. In plurimis aliis operibus, ad rem anatomicam quae fpec-tant, veniam fibi haud facile impetrat vel defecftus aliqua ex parte, vel materies confufe permifteque difpofita. Quivis enim, fi modo laborem pati decreverit, primum quideimexercitatione et experientia intimam argumenti fui cognitionem adipifei poterit; deinde autem operis cujufdam, perfecli undique omnibufque numeris abfoluti, formam atque imaginem animo effingere ; et denique ex variorum cadaverum contemplatione rem inftitutam pro arbitrio fuo ad exitum perducere. / Humani autem corporis uterum gravidum otiofe fecare paucis datum eft. Pauci funt, quibus, in omni vitae fpatio, nifi femel, aut etiam fortaffis iterum hoc fuerit indultum. Ponamus quidem talem oc-cafionem, fauftam omnino atque felicem, cultori cuipiam anatomiae effe oblatam ; neceffe eft ut continuo et fine mora de ratione ille in-ftituti fixum aliquod certumque deftinet; et uno eodemque tempore duo confilia, inter fe non bene convenientia, profequatur. Primum enim, ut ipfe rem penitus perfpediam habeat, cadaver fua manu fecet neceffe eft ; ita tamen inftituenda eft inveftigatio, ut artifici fimul ad-ftanti, praecipuas partes commode delineandi plena fit copia. Proinde vix fieri poteft, quin confilium, optime fufceptum, immutari oporteat, variifque rebus accomodari quae de improvifo et praeter ex-petftationem poffint occurrere. Ut autem id rite perfici poffit, opus eft longi temporis mora; partes interea aeri externo, inter pingendum, expofitae plurimum detrimenti capient; praecipue fi vir talis negotio obeundo praefit cui curae eft, ne fičti quidpiam, aut ex memoria deprompti, ipft rei veritati inducatur, et ut nihil ibi locum habeat, nifi quod ex naturae ipfius obfervatione, re alia nulla intercedente, arreptum fuerit. Si audior tot opportunitates, hanc ornandi provinciam, fibi profpex-iffet futuras, quot ipfi bona fua fortuna indulferit, figuras ille quidem aliquas emendatiores reddere potuiffet; alias aliis melius accommodare, et ita earum feriem in minorem numerum cogere. Figuras quidem nonnullas, jam delineatas, duafque tabulas, a fculptore prorfus perfedtas, apud fe prudens detinuit; ne operis fcilicet moles atque impendium plus aequo increfcerent. Et profeflo plures, eadem ratione induHus, detinuiffet, nifi ipfi mentem fubiiffet, longum fortaffe fore tempus, priufquam aliquod figurarum fyftema, hoc fuo minus imperfečlum, in lucem fit exiturum. Potius igitur duxit culpae in periculum incurrere, eo quod rem nimis copiofe, quam quod parcius ac negligenter tra&averit. Operi, nimiae jam magnitudinis, nimiique fumptus, internam foetus anatomiam adjicere, fupervacaneum fore vifum eft; praefertim cum alii ifto munere funt funčli; et cuilibet, id qui de integro meditatur, haec omnia cognofcendi atque tradiandi haud facile defutura eft occafio. For the reajon already given itßiould feem obvious that anatomical figures ought to be likewife well finijhed. In many fubječls of painting, indeed, the Jlight manner of producing an ejfeä, without labour, is very agreeable; par-ticularly when, either the fubječl is fo well known, that a mere hint is enough to the imagination, which eafily fupplies ali that is wanting; as, in defigns where human figures, and other well known obječls are introduced; or, when the fmaller parts of obječls are not to be feen diftintty, as the obječls, efpeci-ally the more dijlant ones, in a landfcape. But in anatomy, as in natural hiftory, thefubječt is fuppofed to be new, or only imperfeäly known; and the fmaller parts are to befiudied with care, as well as the larger mafjes. In thofe parts of anatomicalfigures, indeed, which are mere repetitions, or near-lyfo, the labour and expence of firiifhing may well befaved. Accordingly in this work the gre ater part is tolerably well finijhed, forne very highly and deli-cately; matters of lefs moment, or approaching to repetitions are exeeuted in a jlight rnanner; and what is merely a repetition, is commonly put down m bare out-lines. Any judicious perfon, who examines this ivork with care, will naturally think that the plan mig fit have been more regulär and more compačt: but it is prefumed that he will be lefs dijfatisfied with the authors bejl endeavours when he Jhall confider the drfficulties which lie in the way, and render the fubječl almofi unmanageable. In many other works of anatomy, imperfečli-ons, and particularly a want of method, are not readily excufed. For, if the author will but take the pavns, he may firfi of ali make himfelf mafier of his fubječl by repeated difječhons and experiments; he may, at his leifure, lay down afiudied plan for a compleat and regulär work; and with his own con-vemence he may exeeute his plan from a variety of dead bodies. But, opportunities of dijječling the human pregnani uterus at leifure, very rarely occur. Indeed, to mofi anatomifis, if they have happened at ali, it has been but once or twice in their whole lives. Upon fiuch occafions there-fore, even when attended with the mofi favourable circumfiances, the anatomiji mufi fix upon a plan, without lofs of time, and at once carry on two fehernes which are hardly compatible; that is to fay, he mufi difjed for his own information, in the firfi place, and yet condučt the inquiry fo as to have good drawings made of the principal appearances: and it is more than probable that he mufi alter any plan that he might have propofed, ancl adapt it to a variety of circumfiances in the fubječl that could not be for efeen ; and much time mufi be lofi, and the parts mufi be confiderably injured by long ex-pofure to the air before the painter; efpecially if the work be conduäed by an anatomiji who will not allow the artifi topaintfrom memory or imagination, but only from immediate obfervation. IJ the author could have forefeen the numerous opportunities which have fallen to his Jhare, he might have eafily improved fome of the figures ; and by adapting them better to one another he might have compleated the feries in a fmaller number. He has atiually kept back feveral drawings which had been made, and two plates which had been engraved, that the work might not be overcharged; and would have withheld more, for that reafon, if he had not thought that it would probably be long before a more perfečl fyfiem of figures would be ojfered to the public. This confideration induced him to nfk the being cenfured rather for having done too much, than too little. In a work which was already become too large and expenfive, it was thought proper to omit the internal anatomy of the child, efpecially as that part has been executed by others, and opportunities of fiudying it may be eafily pro-cured. In The In artem typographicam fumptus, major folito fa<5lus eft, non quidem folam ob elegantiam, qua opera celeberrimi artificis Joannis Baf kerville ornantur omnia; fed praecipue chartae, qua ille utitur, atra-mentique ratione habita. Talis eft enim chartae hujufce laevor, atra-mentumque tam cito arefcit, ut folia, literis licet pleniffima, tabulae cu-jufque interpofitae nitorem integrum atque illaefum confervatura iint.

Harum autem laudum in partem plurimum merito fuo evocandus eft frater ausioris folertiffimus Joannes Hunter; nam in plurimis cadaveribus fecandis partem ille laborum fuftinuit: cujus quidem viri acumen et diligentia in hujufce-modi perveftigationibus adeo omnium fermone celebrantur, ut de illo fi fileretur adjutore, operis ipfxus pretio atque exiftimationi parum effet confultum.

'The additional expenje of Air. Baskerville’j art was not incurred for the Jake of elegance alone; but princip ally for the advantage of his paper and ink, which render a leaf of his Prefs-Work an excellent prefervalive of the plates between which it is placed. If it be allowed that the author has fpared neither labour, nor time, nor expenfe in improving an important part of anatomy, this is ali the merit which he can claim. In moft of the diffeäions he was affißed by his brother Mr. John Hunter, whofe accuracy in anatomical refearckes is fo well known, that - to omit this opportunity of thanking him for that affzflance, would be in forne meafure to difregard the future reputation of the work itfelf. He owes like-wife much to theingenious artißswho made the drawings and engravings; and particularly to Mr. Strange, not only for having by his hand fecured a fort of immortality to two of the piate s, but for having given his advice and affißance in every part with a ßeady and difmtereßed frkndfiip.

R The fame bone cut through at its conjunčtion with the fmall brauch oj the ifchium. Where the letter P fiands, is reprefented, in dotted out-lines, the figure of that part of the os pubis which was cut ofif\ and the mark * is upon the fymphyfis in the fame out-lines. S Theflefhy part between the os coccygis and the anus. T The anus confiderably opened. U The lower part of the rečlum laid open by the fečlion. In tracing the gut from the anus upwards, we fee from this figure that ii iakes a bend backwar ds, to get at the infide of the os coccygis. V Her e the rečlum ma.de a turn to the left fiele, and its furrounding cellular membrane only was feen in the fedion. WW 7 he rečlum laid open by the fečlion, where it runs before the firfi bone of the coccyx, and the three lowermofi pieces of the facrum. X Her e the rečlum lay intirely in the right fide, and, was not opened by the fečlion. Y The rečlum cut through, by the fečlion, where itpajfed jrom the rightfide, aerofs the fecond bone of the facrum, and was continue d into thefigmoide flexureofthe colon. 7^ The vena cava. a The right iliac artery. b Here the left iliac vein was cut through : but tke brittle wax with which it was filled had fallen out, and the vein was feen indiflinöily. c The fečlion of the perinaeum. d The infide of the lower part of the right labium, e The infide of the lower part of the right nympha, f The flriäure at the beginning of the vagina, or remains of the li^men. g The extremity of the meatus urinarius. — h h The cavityof the vagina. 1 The compound fubfiance of the vagina and rečlum, the latter of which is con-ßderably the thickeß. k The forepart of the vagina united with the urethra and bladder. II The mouth of the womb in the vagina, direäed töwards the os coccygis. Though the bottom of the womb, in this c aß, was direäed towards the right fide, its mouth lay fo much on the right fide, that it wa$ not touched in making the middle fečlion of all the parts. mm The fubfiance of the womb and vagina blended, at the os tinese. n n The edge of the biffečled womb backwards. oo The edge of the womb forwards. This fečlion was not in the middle, but con- fiderably on the rightfide. It had been ma.de to prepare the fubječl for fome of the preceding figures.. p The mouth of the tuomb internally. q The infide of the womb lined with the membranes. 7 he bottom of the womb is not reprefented in this figure; both becaufe it was not very material here, and becaufe it was becomefo flaccidand tender, that it couldnot be well kept out, in its natunalfituation, before the painter. The membranes were almofl entirely feparatedfrom the womb, of themfelves, when this figure was made. In the upper part the decidua was full of fmall veins, even where it parted of iifelf from the womb; but near the mouth of the womb, hardly any fach v eff eis appeared. r The meatus urinae. f The lower part of the bladder, placed between the neck of the womb and the upper part of the vagina. The upper part of the bladder, which was fituated behind the fymphyfis of the pubes, had been cut away before this fečlion was made; and we chof to leave the figure imperfe čl, ratherthan venture to delineate fromfancy. F I G. I. FIG. LT T E R I pars anterior et extima, pröut fe videndam praebuit, ' omnino ficcata, exhibens faciem vaforum uterinorum, qualem illa prae fe ferunt, eo loci ubi placenta utero adhaeret. Venae cera flava impletae, ab arteriis, magnitudine, colore lucidiori, anaftomofibus pluribus, facile dignofcuntur. Arteriae enim, minores, pauciores, flexuofae, coloris magis luridi hic loci funt. Arteriae omnes convolutae ; pauciores autem videbantur, quia multi earum ramuli, cera flava, venis prius injefla, impleti fuerint. Hujus exemplum unum eft ad literam A. Venas profundius fitas, per uterum ficcatum cernere non licuit; indiftindae igitur, nulloque ordine, ita uti vifae funt, delineantur. F I G. II. Facies interna placentae, cujus vafa per funiculum umbilicalem cera funt repleta. A Cannula aenea in arteriarum alteram umbilicalium inferta, per quam utraque arteria cera viridi implebatur. B In vena cannula, per quam cera caerulea illi injeda fuit. C C Amnion, in parte quadam placentae, laxum reličlum. D D Placentae, qua amnion fublatum eft, fuperficies intima chorio produfto cooperta. Hoc in loco rami primi vaforum umbilicalium confpiciuntur. Arteriae colore lucidiori facile poffunt dignofci. Hic arteriae quidem lucidiores, ut in figura, apparebant; tunicis fcilicet earum pellucidis colorem -cerae injectae viridem lucidiorem tranfmittentibus : In funiculo autem umbilicali aliter fe res habet; quippe vena, in medio pofita, undique glutinofa funiculi fubftantia fuit inteda; unde cera caerulea ad livorem propius accedens vifa eft.

Placenta cera flava ubique turgida, quae fubftantiam ejus cel-lulofam adeo implevit, ut in facie interna ubique per chorion tranfluceret. Cera ubique quafi in grana abiit, quod inde cava naturalia impleverat, indicium certum exhibens : fi enim pla- centam, vafis effufa imple viffet, in mallas majores, irreguläres formatam, fe ad confpečlum dediiTet. Cera in hanc fpongiofam, five cellulofam partem, injefta, placentae craffitudo naturali duplo major evaferat. F I G. III. Mulieris, die fecundo poft partum extindae, uterifuperficiei internae pars. Decem his tabulis jam delineatis, eas ftatim in lucem edere propofui; et fimul hancce tertiam figuram, quafi fupplementum, addere, utpote folum quod tunc temporis potui. Difcrimen exhibet inter fuperficiem uteri (A, B, C) cui membranae adhaeferant, et fuperficiem (Z), E, F) cui placenta fe immiferat; illam quidem laevem et unius formae; hanc autem orificiis magnis venarum refertam. Ubi primum haec orificia fub examen venerant, omnia grumis coagulati fanguinis referta comperi, in cavum uteri nonnihil extantibus. Utero vero aliquamdiu in aqua macerato, coagula haec magis albida evaferunt; nonnulla exciderunt; et aliqua etiam extrada funt, ut venarum orificia clarius monftrari poflent. Ita fe res habuit, cum figura haec delineabatur. A View oj the outfide of the forepart of the wornb, as it appear-*/1 ed when quite dry; exhibiting a Jpecimen of the uterine veffels, at the part where the placenta adhered. The veins were Jilled with yellow wax, and are readily difiinguifhed by the largenefs, light colour, and Jrequent anaftomofes, from the ar-teries, which are here Jmaller, lefi numerous, ferpentine, and of a darker colour. The arteries zuere all convoluted; but they did not appear to be fo numerous, becaufe many of the branches ivere filled with the yellow wax, which had been thrown into the veins. This is feen, in one in-Jlance, at the letter A. The deeperfeated veins could not be difiindly feen through the dried fubfiance of the womb, and are therefore reprefented with the fame ob-fcurity and confufion which appeared in the obje čl itfelf. FIG. II. 1 he infide of the placenta, which was inječled by the umbilical vef Jels öfter it was taken out of the womb. A A brafs-pipe tied into one of the umbilical arteries, by which the two arteries were filled with green wax. B A pipe in the vein, by which it was filled with blue wax. C C The amnion lefi loofe upon one part of the placenta. D D The internal furface of the placenta, where the amnion was remov-ed, covered by a continuation of the chorion: upoji this are [ee?i the firfi branche s of the umbilical veffels. The arteries are fufficiently difiinguifh-able by their lighter colour. They appeared fo from being filled with a lighter colour ed green wax, andfrom the tranfparency of their coats: but on the navelflring it was the contrary; becaufe the vein, being the moft central, was covered with a gre ater thicknefs of the gelatinous fubfiance of the firing, and therefore did not allow the darker-coloured blue wax to be fo wellfeen. E Part of the decidua lefi at the edge, and turned over the infide of the placenta, fo a s tofhew its outer furface (which had adhered to the womb) fiull ojfinali veffels, inječled with yellow wax from the uterine veins. The body of the placenta was uniformly filled with the yellow wax. This had fo compleatly filled all the cellular fubfiance of the placenta that upon the infide it appeared every where through the chorion. And the wax was every where manifefily gr anulate d; fo that it had plainly filled natural cavities •* for if it had filled the fubfiance of the placenta by common extravafation, it would have formed itfelf into irregulär and large majfes. From this inječlion of the fpungy or cellular part, the placenta had acquired at leafi double its natural thicknefs. F I G. III. Aportion of the internal furface of the womb, from a woman who died two days afiter delivery. When thefe ten plates were finifhed, I intended to have publifked them immediately; and this third figure was added, as the only fupple-ment which I could grue at that time. It fhews the dijference belween the furface of the womb (A, B, C,) where the membrane s had adhered, and that furface (D, E, F,) to which the placenta had beenfixed. The firfi was much more finooth and uniform; the latter was full of large venous ori-fices. At the firfi examination, all thefe orifices were found filled up with plugs ofi coagulated blood, which proječled fome way into the cavity oj the womb. The part bemgfieepedfome time in water, they became whiter, and many oj them Jell out, or were pulle d out, to fhew the orifices ofi the veins more clearly. In this fiate the drawing was made. -L .y .-ayjtway/c tiuxms. TAB. X.. Fig. 1.A/ird mtfc//w?r el nti/niti,yirüt^ je///m tlmmjy eo /&0/, ////i u/m? a//////'/yS ■ Fig‘. H.

The decidua is torn, and turned fomewhat afide, to Jhew the fmooth and opake decidua reflexa. A A The rough, external furface of the decidua, wlnch exfoliatedfrom the womb. B The outfide of a fmall portion of the placenta, the reß of which was fituated on the back-part of this obječt. CCCCC The internal cribriform furface of the decidua, which, in thefirfi months of pregnancy, does not adhere to the membranes which itenclofes. DDDD The lacerated edge of the decidua which had been continued mto the edge EEE of the fame membrane. F The decidua reflexa fpread over the outfide of the chorion. G G The angle of reflečtion at the edge of the placenta, where the inner layer of the decidua is turned over the chorion ; much in the fame manner as the inner lamella of the pericardium is refleded, to cover the outer furface of the heart. H The termination of the decidua at the cervix uteri. F I G. II. A vertical feäion of the fame. A A A The feäion of the placenta ; which, we muß fuppofe, had adhered to the upper and back-part of the womb. B B The feäion of the anterior portion of the decidua. C C The feäion of the poßerior portion of the decidua. D The termination of the decidua at the cervix uteri. EE The cavity of the amnion, in which the embryo hangs by a ßender navel flring, from the infide of the placenta. F The feäion of the three membranes, which are not only contiguous, but adhere to one another, viz. the amnion, the chorion and the decidua reflexa. G G The angle, at the edge of the placenta where the inner layer of the decidua is refletted over the outfide of the chorion. H Here thofe three membranes are a little feparaled, to ßiew their courfe at the placenta. F I G. III. An abortion of about eight weeks. A fmall ftrap of the decidua is cut out, and turned up, to fhew the cavity belween it and the other membranes. A The cut flip of the decidua. B The part of the conception where there is no decidua; viz. oppofite to the pajjage through the cervix uteri. CCC The external furface of the decidua. D The decidua reflexa covering the chorion and amnion, which proječl and fili up the cavity of the decidua. F The outfide of the upper part of the placenta. F I G IV. The fame, when the decidua had been opened by a crucial incifion, and the four angle s had been turned off, and then a round pie ce of the decidua reflexa diffeäed off, and turned to one fide, to fhew the loofe veffels on the outfide oj the chorion. A, B. See fig. III. CCCC The infide of the four angles or flaps into which the decidua was reduced by a crucial incifion. DDD The decidua reflexa, covering the other membranes. EE The angle, at the edge of the placenta where the interior lamella of the de- cidua is continued over the outfide of the chorion, forming the decidua reflexa. F A round portion of the decidua reflexa diffeäed from the outfide oj the cho- rion and turned afide. G The chorion, with its fhaggy veffels, laid bare. Thefe veffels adhered firmly to the decidua reflexa, andparts ofthem were cut ojf with that membrane. FIG. V. An abortion of the fame age, confifling of the chorion only, with its veffels and contents; that is, without the decidua, or uterine part of the fecundines. A A A The larger and more crouded branches of thefiiaggy veffels which fhoot from the external Jurface of one part of the chorion, to mix with the decidua, or uterine part, to form the placenta. B B That portion of the chorion which afterwards becomes the uniform tranjparent membrane. It is covered with fewer and more delicate floating veffels, which lofe themfelves in the decidua reflexa. The embryo is feen through it. C The veficula umbilicalis on the outfide ofthe amnion, feen through the chorion; with a whitifh thread, (the remains of an artery and vein) leading from it, towards the navel of the embryo. F I G. VI. The fame opened. The membranes, which were at the fore-pai t, being cut from the placenta, and turned up, the embryo is diflindly feen: A The veficula umbilicalis, from which B, the remains of an artery and vein, in the form of a white thread, pafs to C, the navel of the embryo, with Jome turns of the inteflines lodged in the beginning of the navel ßring. FIG I. O V U M, fcilicet chorion, cum omnibus ejus contentis, quintam, ut licet conjicere, circiter hebdomadam. Liters, antea ufitatae, ad dignofcendas partes, minime defiderantur. Maculas quae maxime fufcae funt, fanguinis coagulati reliquias parvas repraefentant. In medio, globi inftar, confpicitur amnion, per quod fcetus indiftinčle apparet.- Ovum ipfum haud paululum mole fua complanatum expaflumque fuit, coram pičlore in patella dum jacebat. F I G. II. Idem ovum praeparatum, magna fatis parte chorii abfciffa, amnioque cum foetu inclufo, ut partes circa umbilicum ejus confpicerentur, in latus Teflexo, vitri optici ope, ut partes minores magis diftin&e poffent con-fpici, amplificatum fuit. Vafa hirfuta fluitantia, ex facie externa chorii exeuntia, per fe fatis patent. A A Spatium inter chorion et amnion. Hoc refertum erat gelatina tenera, adeo pellucida ut vix cerni poflet; unde arteriae venaeque ramofe, fan-guine rubro impletae, in facie interna placentas diftin&e per eam con-fpiciebantur. B Amnion liquore pellucido colorifque experte, puriffima veluti aqua fontana, diftendebatur; per quem foetus partes minores apparebant. C Veficula umbilicalis humore diftenfa: neque amnio illa, neque chorio connexa fuit; gelatina autem tenera circumdata, umbilico foetus per arteriam et venam, quafi per pediculum, adnexa; quibus quidem vafis tanta inter fe vicinitas fuit, ut vas unum fanguine rubro impletum, et ramos in veficulam umbilicalem folam emittens, viderentur. Caput foetus trunco ejus longius fuit; brachia et crura non nifi perpaululum emicuerant; vifcera abdominis nondum fuerant veflita; pars eorum magis fufca hepar fuit: fune umbilici nondum orto, foetus faciei interne chorio et amnii, quae eo loci contigua erant, medio abdomine, adne$e~ batur. F I G. III. Ovum integrum, quartae hebdomadas, ut licet conjicere. Ovi pars fupe-ri°r, latior et plana, facculus fuit, textura tenera, per deciduam folam formatus: huic ad angulos fuperiores foramen dentatum utrinque fuit, ubi tubas intraffe conjicere licebat; et ad ovi partem inferiorem portio crafTa anguftaque ex membranis omnibus contentifque eorum conftitit. F I G. IV. Ejufdem ovi, fečlione a vertice ad imum du6la aperti, facies interna. Ovum totum adhuc fundi uteri formam triangularem retinebat. Pars lata fuperior, deciduae faciem internam lasviorem, cribro fimilem, oftendit; et pars angufta inferior, omnium membranarum fe&ionem cavumque in confpe&u ponit. Foetus primordia omnino foluta fuerant. Amnion a chorio (ejunda fuerat, et in cavo ejus fluitabat. Ex duobus ab eodem centro circulis albis, interior eft chorii fe&io; cujus in facie externa ftratum fpongiofum, cui vafa ex chorio fe immittunt, cernitur: circulus albus exterior, ad partem iuferiorem, deciduam, placentam obtegentem, et ad partem fuperiorem deciduam reflexam reprsfentat. F I G. V. Ovum integrum tertiam circiter hebdomadam. A A Seta in cavum ovi trajeda per foramen ad utrumque angulum fuperiorem, quod fcilicet tubas fallopianas extremitatem elTe conjicere licet. BB Easdem fetae per foramen majus exeuntes ad angulum inferiorem, quod cervici uteri exadverfum effe ponimus. C Hydatis, molis admodum exiguae, per deciduam fefe projiciens, et filamenta gracilia ramofa ex fuperficie fua emittens: chorion effe, vix dubitandum. F I G. VI. Idem ovum, maxima parte parietis anterioris exciffa A A, B B, C. Vide fig. V. Manifeftum eft deciduam, hocce in ovo, membranam fuiffe denfam, texturze glutmofae, quas toti cavo triangulari fundi uteri, tanquam veftimentum,’ adhaefe-rat; conflabat etiam tubas in facie ejus interna fuiffe terminatas; chorion inter duphcem ejus membranam fitum fuiffe, vel fubftantia ejus circundat.um; parique patiu cum incremento chorii, procedente uteri geftatione, cavum decidua coarctaiie, lamellam ejus interiorem (five deciduam reflexam) diflendens donec tandem deleto cavo, lamella illa interna faciei interiori decidua fuiffet contieua irogreiius hic, de quo agitur, mutationis planius intelligetur, fi proxima his hguiae inter fe conferantur, ordine earum inverfo, primo fcilicet nonam, deinde octavam, et podremo feptimam.
