Thefe Figures are clofely Drawn after the Original 
Schemes, and I am apt to flatter my felf they will be'''''^ 
acceptable to the Inquifitive, It is feme fatisfaftion that 
I find the A^er/ej- here fo agreeable to a Figure which I 
Drew and Publifhed not long fince, irom the Arteries of a 
FcBtus Injefted with Wax. But this Figure of the Veins 
differs fo much from any extant, as would incline one to 
fufpeft all of the fubjeft hitherto publiftied are Fiditious, 
not excepting even thofe of Vefalim, But lirft of the Ar- 
teries. 
That the Arteries are the Veffels which convey Blood 
from rhe Heart to all pans of the Body, is well known ^ 
and we fee by Fig. the ift that the common pra£tice of 
Nature in diftriburing thefe Veffels, to iupply the parts 
with Blood, is from the next adjacent Trunk, till rbeir 
Afcending and Defending Trunks become Conical, as vv cli 
as their collateral Branches : Not that all the Trunks and 
Ramifications of Arteries are Uniform, and become Coni- 
cal in the fame manner ^ nor do all of Them pafs directly 
to the parts to which convey Blood ^ nor do all parts 
receive Arteries from their neighbouring Trunks, 
The Trunks of the Carotid.^ Vertebral and Sdenick Arte- 
ries are not only L ^Ptor-'^d m theii profiTcfv in the Adult 5
