IT did happen fo that a ctxmn Dr. of Phyfick did Ac- 
1 commodate me with a Book called Novelles la 
Repullique des Lettres, and shewing me on the 5-51 fag. 
an Excfi^dJ: in Latm^ of a Letter Written by Mr. 
Dakn Farms to the Writer of the Ni?W/fj, wherein the 
Author or the Letter amongft the reft fays thus. 
At length it has happened beyond expe(9:ation, viz, 
by way or a Magnifing-Glafs, fo good (without praife 
be it laid ) that none better can be made, becauft it 
dath hardly exceed the (m^^lieft vifible Point in bignefi, 
&c. 
When he is (peaking about the fmall An imafs in the 
Seed of the Male, he lays thus 
Befides thefe, we diicovered fome fmall Animals, of 
the fame lhape, as are in the Pools in the Month of 
May^ &c. like the Spawn of Frogs tnat is in fmall Wa- 
ters; and this Body doth hardly exceed theBgnefs of a 
fmall Co? n^grain, the Tail t>emg Four or Five times as 
big as the B )dy ; thefe do move themfelves with a 
ftrange quicknets, &c. and make with the beating of 
their Tad, fmall Babbles, which? hey alfo did pull 
along. 
How flioulJ we have believed,that in them, a Human 
Body was Lockt up, &c Yetnotwithftanding we have 
ften it with our own Eyes : For when we did Con- 
template every thing with great Curiofity, one did ap- 
pear that was (bmewimt bigger, CS'c. that had palfd of 
the Skm, wherein it was Locked up.
