not the moft fatisfattory evidence, that I have 
‘been under no illufion, and that this fevered 
‘ head fully contained all the organs of ba it 
‘is originally compofed. 
‘ I pradtifed nearly the fame method with re- 
‘gard to the head reproduced. It would be 
‘fuperfluous to enumerate the organs com- 
‘pofing it; for I could only repeat what has 
« jut been faid of thofe we difcover in the origi- 
‘nal head cut off. This decollation, indeed, fre- 
“ quently gives place to various monftrofities of 
‘the parts reproduced; but the eflence of my 
‘ difcovery is not affe&ted by them.

‘head, and to compare it with that reproduced. 
‘Many other precautions have alfo been ufed ; 
“and although I omit them-here, they fhall be 
‘ mentioned at large in my work.
