THis curious Juth&r after a fliort account of the ge- 
neration of the different parts of the body, out of 
a leeming homogeneous matter, divides the Brain, taken 
in a large lenfe for the ^hoX^head, into its outward and 
inward parts, thefe latter being the fubje<3: of his firfi 
" book^: in whi^h he begins with the Crajfa meninx, which 
he makes to be double, the fibres of each membrane obli- 
quely interfering one another, defcribes its cohasfions, 
linus's , Veffels , and ufes both publique and private, and 
explains how it becomes fo exquifitely fenfible, and 
whence it has its motion in thofe parts where it is mova- 
ble. Hence he takes an occafion for a very curious di- 
greflion about the motion of the Heart, and Arteries^ 
thefe latter he afferts to be moved by the blood, and 
brings an experiment to prove it, and alfo makes ufe of 
it to confute the pulfifick faculty of Galen, and the A- 
nimal fpirit of Willis, which by the annular fibres of 
their middle coat, is to dilate and contra<3: them.

particular in the diftribution of the ^^^/j" of it, and will j
