Ethiopian f, and Angolans ; For every parent knows* 
when the child has thefe parts longer than ordinary, 
and cut or burn them off, while girls are very young, 
and at the fame time never entertain she lead; notion 
of the exigence of any other nature befidcs the true 
female, in thofe children, who are thus deprived of

The learned De Graafe was well acquainted with 
this, and gives his approbation of the operation, as 
highly neceffary, as well as decent: “ eflque kujus 
“ partis chirurgia orientalibus tam necefj'aria quant 
tc decora .” 
It has been faid too, that this girl in town has not 
the lead: appearance of breads 5 but thofe, who re- 
port this, mud furely have never feen the breads of 
the women of any other nation but our own. On 
the contrary, die has as large breads as any French 
girl of her age, and as good a nipple; whatever care 
they take to fqueeze and comprefs them with her 
apparel. Befides die is a thin girl, and fmall of her 
age ; and really among our own young women, 
when they are fpare, and fmall in dature, it will be 
hard to find any with breads more confpicuous than, 
if fo much as, hers. 
I have confider’d this fubjecd more at large in my 
Critical Inquiry into the Nature of Hermaphrodites, 
which the curious may fee ; and am, in the mean 
time. Sir,
