438 Remarkable Disease of the Lungs and Kidneys. 



ing, with the exception of the straps, the identical Daniel's 

 lite-preserver now under consideration. In referring the 

 reader to the plate*, we shall nierely add the following ex- 

 tract from the book in question, entitled ' Certaine waies 

 for the ordervntr of Souldiers in Battel-rav, &c. &c. gather'd 

 and set foorthe by Peter Whitehorne, Student of Graies 

 Jnne, London, 1562. 



*How to make a Girdell for Souldiers or Fishers, where- 

 by they may goe in the water and passe over a rivtr with- 

 oiUe eyther Brid'ie or Bote. 



* This girdel ought to be made accordinge to the fation 

 of the figure nexte following, and of such lethe r that must 

 be dressed in Ivkc sorte as the same is whcrwiih foote-bals 

 jire made, wherunto a pype must be faslcn'd lyke unto a 

 beggcpype, so that the girdell when it is girle about a soul- 

 dier upon his armur may be blowen full of wvude, by helpe 

 whereof he may then safely passe over a river goinge through 

 the same how dope soever it be, wher he shall not sinke in 

 the water forther (ban from the girdell stcde douncwards, 

 which for men of warre is very commodious, and a moste 

 necessary thing,' 



After perusing the above passage, copied verbalini from, 

 the original black letter, I derm it unnecessary to ofier any 

 apology to the readers of your very interesting iNlagazine, 

 for questioning the justice of this gentleman's claims c>\\ 

 the society as the inventor of the life-preserver. In admit- 

 ting, then, that Mr. Daniel has conferred an important obli- 

 gation on mankind, in having rescued from unmerited ob- 

 j^curity a most valuable machine for the preservation of his 

 fellow -creatures, 1 think he is placed precisely at that 

 point in the scale of merit to which his services entitle 

 him.
