WINSLOW, James Benignus, in Biography, an emi- 

 nent anatomift, was born in 1669 at Odenfee, in the ifle of 

 Funen, and having ftudied a year under Borrichius, was 

 fent with a penfion from the king of Denmark to feek im- 

 provement in the principal univerfities of Europe. In 1698 

 he became a pupil of the celebrated anatomift Duverney at 

 Paris, and during his refidence in this capital, he abjured 

 Proteftantifm, and was confirmed by Bofl^uet, afluming in 

 addition to his own baptifmal name that of his converter, 

 Benignus. Haller denominates Winflow " fimple and fu- 

 perftitious," and of courfe his converfion to the Catholic 

 faith afforded no great occafion for triumph. This event, 

 however, detached him from his family and native country, 

 and was the means of fixing his abode in France, where the 

 patronage of Boftuet was highly favourable to his advance- 

 ment, and ferved to obtain for him the degree of doftor in 

 1705. In 1707 Duverney recommended him to be an eleve 

 of anatomy in the Academy of Sciences. He afterwards 

 read leftures of anatomy and furgery for Duverney at the 

 royal garden ; and in 1 743 was promoted to the profeflbr- 

 Ihip in this inftitution. In the meanwhile, he communicated 

 feveral papers on anatomical and phyfiological fubjefts to 

 the Academy of Sciences, by which body, as well as by 

 the Royal Society of Berhn, he was admitted into the num- 

 ber of aflbciates. His great work, mentioned by Haller 

 as fuperfeding all former compofitions of anatomy, and en- 

 titled " Expofition Anatomique de la StruAure du Corps 

 Humain," firft appeared at Paris in 1732, 4to. It was fre- 

 quently reprinted, and tranflated into various languages ; 

 and is ftill regarded as of ftandard authority. Winflow 

 planned, but never finiflied, a larger work, of which this was 

 merely an abridgment, and he was alfo the author of dif- 

 putations and treatifes on particular topics. He died in 

 1760 at the advanced age of 91. Haller. Eloy. Gen.
