Dear Sir ; 
Read Jan. 12, N the i6th of December 1763, 
I/6 4 ' Dr. Wollafton, Dr. Blanfhard, 
Dr. Hunter, Dr. Petit, the Rev. Mr. Egerton Leigh, 
and Mr. Hunter, met at my houfe; that we might 
together infpedt a Mummy, which I had received 
from the Mufeum of the Royal Society. 
Our intention was; to examine the manner, in 
which this piece of antiquity had been put together ; 
to compare it with the accounts given of thefe prepa- 
rations by ancient authors ; and to fee, whether 
there were any traces left of the fofter parts; and, if 
fo, by what means they had been preferved. A greater
