This they will eafily do in forming the round ones, but 
the flat bottles are attended with confiderable difficulty. 
The right way to make them, I believe, would be to blow 
them in moulds of various fizes ; the workman fhould 
likewife form the bottoms of the bottles perfectly flat, 
that they may ftand upright and fteady. Bottles of this 
form being provided for the larger preparations, we grind 
the upper furface of them oil a plain plate of lead, about 
a quarter of an inch thick, and two feet in diameter, 
fir ft with fine emery arid water, then with powdered rot¬ 
ten ftone, or putty firft wet with water and at laft dry ; 
l'o that the furface may be reduced to an exaft horizontal 
plane, and of as fine a poliih as piate-glafs. This will 
foon be done, as the manoeuvre requires but little dexte¬ 
rity ; and the anatomiit Ihoukl be provided with a confi¬ 
derable number of thefe glaffes prepared as above directed. 
To the top of each bottle a piece of piate-glafs, cut by a 
diamond, is to be adapted lb as completely to cover, but 
not project over, the edge of the bottle. When thefe two 
fmooth furfaces are put upon each other, with a drop of 
water between, the attraction of cohefion is fo confidera¬ 
ble, that it requires great force to feparate them.” 
Many preparations of the lymphatics, and .other parts 
preferved in bottles, do not require any firings to fuf- 
pend them ; particularly when fixed on pafteboard or pa¬ 
per : fuch as require fufpenfion flioold be tied to firings 
fixed to the preparation below, and to fmall holes drilled 
in the fubftance of the glafs at the bottom of the neck; 
or to fmall bits of glafs that may be fixed on the infide 
of the fame part. The preparation is thus fufpended in 
limpid proof malt-fpirit, the bottle being almoft complete¬ 
ly filled ; the upper and poliflied furface t of the bottle, 
?.nd the plate of glafs, are to be wriped clean and dry; a 
drop of folution of gum arable is to be put on the po- 
lilhed furface of the bottle, the top ftrongly and fteadily 
prefled upon it, fo as to bring the two lurfaces into as 
clofe contaCl: as poflible; after which the bottle is to be 
placed in a cool airy place to dry. A piece of wet ox- 
bladder, freed from fat, and foaked in water till it becomes 
mucilaginous, is then to be placed over the top, the air 
prefled out from between it and the glafs; after which it 
muft be tied with a packthread dipped in the folution of 
gum arabic. The bladder, being cut off neatly under the 
laft turn of the thread, is then to be dried, the firing 
taken cautioufly off, and the top and neck painted with 
a compofltion of lamp-black mixed with japanners’ gold 
fize: this foon dries, and leaves a fine fmooth glofly fur¬ 
face, from which the dirt can at any time be as readily 
wiped off as from a mirror. By this method large bot¬ 
tles are as eafily and effectually fecured as fmall ones; 
and it is found to anfwer as well as the hermetical fealing 
of glaffes, which in large veffels is altogether impracti¬ 
cable. If the bottoms have any inequalities which pre¬ 
vent them from ftanding fteady, they may be eafily made 
perfectly flat by grinding them with emery on the plate 
above-mentioned. The tops, if well gummed, will even 
remain perfectly fixed on the glaffes without the bladder: 
though in the common upright ones it may be advifable 
to put it on as a defence. Our author informs us, that, 
fince his making this difeovery, he has ufed glafs fau¬ 
cets with flat tops gummed on. In thefe veffels the 
preparations, by reafon of their horizontal pofture, ap¬ 
pear to great advantage. Thus he has exhibited very 
early abortions in their membranes, and fome other pre¬ 
parations that cannot be fufpended or viewed conveni¬ 
ently in the perpendicular direction. Some very delicate 
preparations, particularly thofe intended to be viewed 
-v-ith the microfcope, thofe of the ampullulae laCteae of 
Lieberkuhn, and of the valves of the abforbents, may 
be preferved either in fpirits or dry in tubes clofed in the 
manner juft mentioned, and will appear to great advan¬ 
tage. Some of the dry ones may all'o be advantageoufiy 
placed in fquare oblong boxes, made of pieces of plate 
or white glafs neatly gummed together, with narrow flips 
of white or coloured paper, and the objefts may be con-

venientiy viewed in this manner. With refpeft to the 
ftcpper-bottles, which are very convenient for holding 
final! preparations, our author advifes the ftopperstobe per¬ 
fectly well ground; that they may pafs rather lower down 
than the neck of the bottle, for the convenience of dril¬ 
ling two holes obliquely through the inferior edge of the 
fubftance of the ftopper, oppoiite to each other, for the 
purpofe of fixing threads to hold the fubjeft; for, if 
the threads pals between the neck and ftopper, a fpace 
will be left; or, if the ftopper be well ground, the neck 
of the bottle will be broken in endeavouring to prefs it 
down. On the other hand, if any fpace be left, the 
thread, by its capillary attraction, will raife the fpirits 
from the bottle, and caufe evaporation, which will like¬ 
wife take place from the chink between the ftopper and 
neck.
