GREAT LONG-LEGGED SPIDER. 
1 HE curious Spider which we have here 
figured exa£lly the size of nature, was caught 
at Mr. Morley's, Number 91, Drury Lane, 
on the 29th of August 1798. This gentleman, 
being a subscriber to our work, very obhgingly 
furnished us with the original ; from which the 
present most accurate representation has been, 
produced. 
It was caught, late in the evening, in Mr.. 
'Morley's kitchen, which is in the upper part 
of the house ; and was, at first, from the swift- 
ness of it's motion, and in the imperfe6i light 
where it appeared, supposed to be a Mouse, 
The body, however, is of no extraordinary 
magnitude ; being only five-eights of an inch; 
long, and two-eights broad : but the eight legs,, 
particularly the two in front, are of prodigious 
length. The entire inse61;, from point to point 
of the hind and fore legs, is full five inches and 
a half ; of which, the fore-legs are each three: 
iachesj. and the hind-legs two and a quarter..
