-
-After that long and particular Detail of my self, and of my various
-Adventures in so many different and remote parts of the Globe, as I have
-lately entertain’d the Public with, I little thought any private
-Occurrence, in so small a Spot as the Island of _Great Britain_, could
-have rous’d my Attention, and broke in upon that Repose, in which I
-hop’d to have spent the Remains of a declining Life. But small and
-inconsiderable as it is, I consider it is my own Country; the Thought of
-which, together with that inextinguishable Thirst after Truth and
-Knowledge, in regard to my self, and an ardent Inclination of
-communicating it to others, have prevail’d upon me once more to be
-expos’d in Print, in order to express my Abhorrence of a late diabolical
-Imposture: propagated, not so much by the Knavery of some, as by the
-Ignorance and Stupidity of others. I need not say I mean the Rabbit
-Affair; with which, for some Weeks past, the Minds of the People of this
-Island have been so seriously and so surprizingly employ’d; so as scarce
-to leave them any Leisure for Things of a more sublime Nature, and of
-vastly greater Consequence and Importance.
-
-And tho’ I verily believe this to be the real and only Cause, why the
-Perusal of my Travels has been so neglected of late, which, by the Decay
-of the Sale, has sensibly affected a worthy and honest Bookseller; yet I
-declare to the World, that my Motives for entering the Lists against Mr.
-_St. André_ (a Person to me wholly unknown, and unheard of till I saw
-his Name in the News-Papers, upon that unfortunate Accident, which befel
-him, when he fancied he was poyson’d) are, that little Skill which, by
-my Education and Experience, I have attain’d in Surgery and Anatomy, and
-that great Ignorance in both, which he has betray’d upon this Occasion.
-
-For tho’ that Gentleman’s Candor is very great in shewing such a
-remarkable Alertness, at confessing that he has been impos’d upon in
-this Paltry Business; and tho’ perhaps, by that he may flatter himself,
-that he shall escape all further Censure, yet I shall be at the Pains of
-Convincing the World that he is mistaken, even in this also; and that,
-had he not been most profoundly deficient in that discerning
-Penetration, with which all true Surgeons make Enquiries of this sort,
-he might have discover’d this Imposture at the very first Sight, and not
-have drawn in so many Persons of distinguish’d Sense and Figure, to be
-gull’d and deluded by so coarse and palpable a Fraud.
-
-For, to begin with his Narrative; a true Surgeon, one, I mean, orderly
-and properly educated in that worthy Profession, would never have
-suffer’d his Curiosity to be at all alarm’d by seeing a Letter from
-_Guildford_, which mention’d a Woman’s _being deliver’d of five
-Rabbits_: Suppose one were to see a Letter from _Battersea_, importing
-that a Woman there had been deliver’d of five Cucumbers, or indeed a
-hundred Letters, would that lead a Man of Sense to believe any Thing,
-but, either that the People who wrote those Letters had been grossly
-impos’d upon themselves, or intended to impose upon him. Either of these
-two Things may, and do happen every Day; but it was never known, that
-ever any Creature brought forth any one Creature of a Species in all
-Respects different from it self, much less five or seventeen such
-Creatures; for which therefore, a Man of common Sense, much more a
-penetrating and quicksighted Anatomist, should look upon all such
-Letters with the utmost Contempt.
-
-Yet it was the Sight of two or three such Letters (and those flagrant
-with most conspicuous Tokens of Imposture) which induc’d Mr. _St.
-André_, at this time of the Year, to take two Journeys to _Guildford_,
-in order to enquire into the Truth of what, in Nature, it was impossible
-should be true. However, to _Guildford_ he came for the first time;
-where I shall attend him a while, and watch his Motions, perhaps to a
-better Purpose than he did those of the Rabbit-bearing Woman: For tho’,
-with all his Skill he was not able to detect her Fraud, I hope with very
-little of mine to display his Ignorance.
-
-In the first Place, how stupid must he have been, not to suspect a
-Trick, when _Howard_, upon being sent for, came and acquainted him,
-_that the Woman was actually in Labour of the fifteenth Rabbit_. This
-puts me in Mind of what, above six and Forty Years ago, I learn’d at
-School; where the Sagacity of old _Simo_ in the _Andria_ of the
-_Terence_ appears, to the utter Shame of our modearn _St. Andrians_: The
-old Gentleman had Reason to suspect Fraud from the known Character of a
-crafty Knave he had to deal with; and whose Business it was to make him
-believe, that a certain Lady was just then in Labour: Accordingly, as
-they approach her House, she contrives to be in one of her Labour Pains,
-and cries out so loud that the old Man must needs hear it: upon which, I
-remember, he says, with much Humour and Judgment, _Hui, tam cito?
-ridiculum. Postquam ante ostium me audivit stare, approperat. Non sat
-commode divisa sunt temporibus tibi, Dave, hæc._ For thus, had he been
-credulous enough to go to _Guildford_ to inquire into this Cheat, he
-would have said, in plain _English_, upon the like Occasion, _What a
-pox, is she so quick? this is the damn’dest Joke that ever was: the
-Moment she hears I am arrived, she falls into one of her Labour Pains:
-ah_, Howard! _this was not well tim’d of you by any means_.
-
-But, to return from this Digression, if the Woman was _actually in
-Labour of the fifteenth Rabbit_, why should Mr. _Howard_ leave her, and
-stay with Mr. _St. André_ till they call’d him again, when she was said
-to be in one of her Labour Pains? Here a wise Man would have smelt a Rat
-instead of a Rabbit: And much more, when this Woman in Labour Pains, and
-who had been in Labour some time then, nay fourteen times before, was
-_found dress’d in her Stays, and sitting on the Bed-side_; and that not
-for want of Help to put her to Bed; for there were _several Women near
-her_. A Man must have a spritely Genius for swallowing Imposture that
-was not stagger’d at such an Appearance. This sure it was that prompted
-Mr. _St. André_ to wave all such Reflections, and proceed _immediately
-to examine her_; when, tho’ by his own Confession, he _did not find the
-Parts prepar’d for her Labour_, (which was another plain Indication of
-the Roguery) yet he was weak enough to _wait for the coming on of fresh
-Pains_, and, _in three or four Minutes after, to think he deliver’d her
-of the intire Trunk, strip’d of its Skin, of a Rabbit about four Months
-Growth_ (he meant to have said, of an Animal of the Size and Figure of a
-Rabbit of four Months Growth) _in which the Heart and Lungs were
-contain’d, with the Diaphragm intire_. Well, what does my Gentleman
-then? He _instantly cut of a piece of them, and tried them in Water_; in
-which they swam, and when they were _press’d to the Bottom, rose again_.
-Now, it being notoriously the Property of the Lungs of a _Fœtus_ to
-sink, and of a Creature which has been some time brought forth alive to
-swim, in Water; what but an absolute Prepossession in favour of this
-filthy Miracle, or a consummate Ignorance in these Matters could have
-hinder’d any sober Inquirer from being determin’d in relation to this
-Cheat, by the foregoing Trial? Yet Mr. _St. André_ never boggles at
-this, nor at the Impossibility of the Trunk of such a Creature’s
-(suppos’d but just before to be alive) being stript of its Skin, by the
-contractive Faculty of the Womb; nor at the Woman’s being _chearful and
-easy, and walking by her self from the Bed-side to the Fire the Moment
-she was deliver’d_: But goes on _conjecturing_ in a yet more absurd
-manner, that these Creatures, (as big as Rabbits of four Months Growth,
-which must be within a Trifle as big as full grown ones,) were bred in
-the _Fallopian Tubes_; and came into the _Uterus_ one after another,
-where they lay and kick’d, till they were press’d to Death, and flead,
-and all their Bones broken, in such a manner, that they were sensibly
-heard to snap, by the violent convulsive Motions of it.
-
-I take the Liberty to inform my Readers, upon this Occasion, that the
-_Fallopian Tubes_ are a Passage of Communication, of scarce three Inches
-long, between the _Ovaria_ and _Uterus_; thro’ which the _Embryo_, after
-Conception, is convey’d from the one to the other. And tho’ at that End
-next the _Uterus_ they open, somewhat like the Mouth of a Trumpet, yet,
-when stretch’d to the utmost, the general Canal of them scarce exceeds
-the Thickness of ones Finger: And therefore the Impossibility of any one
-such Creature being contain’d there, much less of eighteen, as this
-Gentleman suppos’d, must appear to every one of a common Understanding.
-He tells us, no Blood nor Water issued from the _Vagina_ after this
-Delivery, and that her Pulse was regular. Monstrous! that none of these
-Indications should open Mr. _St. André_’s Eyes. If he thought at all,
-what could he be thinking of? It is notorious, that in Births of dead
-Children, Women suffer much more Pain than in those of Living ones; so
-as to be, during the Operation, in high Fevers, with irregular Pulses,
-and left in great Weakness afterwards. Yet this Woman is deliver’d of
-fifteen dead Rabbits, such as of four Months Growth, without any
-Alteration in her Pulse, without the least Inflammation or Laceration in
-her _Vagina_, walking from the Bed-side, sitting down in a Chair by the
-Fire, as well as if nothing had happen’d; and skilful Mr. _St. André_
-swallowing this foul Imposture, without the least Squeamishness or
-Reluctance.
-
-In the _Rectum_ of this Animal, which remain’d affix’d to the Body, Mr.
-_St. André_ finds _five or six Pellets, much of the same Colour and
-Consistence of the common Dung of a Rabbit_. Strange! that this should
-not alarm him! (it being notorious that the Excrement of a _Fœtus_ is
-always liquid) but this he swallows likewise; as he does _the Skin
-roll’d and squeez’d up like a Ball_, which he delivers her of some time
-after: And not long after that, of _the Head, with the Fur on, Part of
-one of the Ears being torn off_. Upon all which Occasions, I mean those
-of the Womb’s having the Faculty of skinning a Rabbit all but the Head,
-of rolling this Skin up like a Ball, and tearing off a Piece of an Ear;
-this Gentleman speaks as familiarly as if they were common Cases, which
-wanted not in the least to be accounted for, or wonder’d at.
-
-In the Intervals between these notable Deliveries, Mr. _St. André_
-diverted himself and his Company, _by examining the several Rabbits,
-which were kept separate, in distinct Pots, with Spirits of Wine, in the
-Order that they were brought away_. Here likewise, I will do my self the
-Honour to attend him. And now, methinks, I see him expatiating, in a
-very genteel adroit manner, upon the general Resemblance, but particular
-and significant Difference between them and natural Rabbits.
-
-“_The first_,” says he, “_does not appear to be a perfect Rabbit, in all
-its Parts_.” (Here one would suppose, the Difference lay in some one or
-two, at most, minute, not easily observable, Circumstances, in which
-this Creature varied from a Rabbit: But, on the contrary, it seems ’twas
-a perfect Cat in all its Parts, one or two only excepted.) “_Three of
-the Feet being like the Paws of a Cat; the Stomach and Intestines like
-those in the same Animal; as also the Shape and Figure of the_ Thorax.
-Observe, _the Lungs and Heart, how entirely they are out of their
-natural Situation; and squeez’d out between the upper Ribs, and_
-Vertebræ _of the Neck_ (doubtless by the convulsive Motion of the
-_Uterus_) _to which Parts_, observe how _strongly they grow and adhere.
-The Lungs of this Creature, had they been plac’d in their natural
-Cavity, would not have fill’d above a sixth Part of it. The Bones of
-this Creature are likewise all so different in Substance and Structure
-from those of common Rabbits_, that o’ my Conscience, _the Head and one
-Paw only excepted_, I think it has not the least Resemblance of them.
-_All the other thirteen Animals_ I pronounce _to be in every particular,
-like well-form’d, common, natural Rabbits, from the size of two Months
-Growth to four. These have been all broken to pieces much in the same
-manner; but when these several parts are put together in their proper
-order, they manifestly make up and appear to belong to the
-abovemention’d Animals._ I confess _the_ Viscera _are wanting in four or
-five of them_; but that is not very material; that Defect is amply
-supply’d by this _one remarkable Circumstance, which is, that most of
-these Animals_ (for Rabbits I will not call them) _as far as I can
-judge, are Females. The Flesh of these Creatures, particularly of that
-which I extracted, has the Smell of Rabbits just kill’d; and the
-Substance of their Bones are, in all respects, like the Bones of_ Fœtus
-_Rabbits_. (How particular, how dilucid, and exact is this part of his
-Lecture!) _From all these Considerations_ (and many more too tedious and
-impertinent to be recited) with greater Assurance than Knowledge, _I am
-fully convinc’d, that, at the same time that the external Appearance of
-these Animals is exactly like such Creatures as must inevitably undergo
-the Changes that happen to adult Animals, by Food and Air, they carry
-within them the strongest Marks of_ Fœtus’_s, even in such Parts as
-cannot exist in an Adult, and without which a_ Fœtus _cannot possibly be
-suppos’d to live. This, I think, proves in the strongest Terms possible,
-that these Animals are of a particular kind, and not bred in a natural
-way; nor will there be any Doubt remaining (even with the least knowing
-in these Matters)_ when these things come to be clear’d up by _the
-Anatomy of these præternatural Rabbits_ (a præternatural Anatomist Thou
-art without Dispute) _which I shall publish with all convenient Speed,
-with their Figures taken from the Life, and compar’d with the Parts of
-Rabbits of the same Growth_ (he would have said _the same size_) _that
-the Differences before-mention’d may be fully understood_.”
-
-This therefore the publick has still just Reason to insist upon from Mr.
-_St. André_; for, however he may pretend to be impos’d upon by others in
-the Delivery of these Supposititious Rabbits, the learned anatomical
-Observations, recited above, are purely the Result of his own Skill and
-Judgment; and cannot with any Colour of Reason, be plac’d to the Account
-of Fraud and Imposture in others. Especially _those Facts_ which he has
-the Assurance to say _were verified, before his Majesty on_ Saturday,
-Nov. _the 26th, by the anatomical Demonstration of the first, the third,
-fifth and ninth of these Animals_.
-
-However, not content with having sufficiently plac’d his Reputation at
-stake in this audacious manner (for such I must call it) on the wretched
-Observations abovemention’d, _out he sets for_ Guildford _again, being
-resolv’d to bring the Woman to Town if there was any Prospect of more
-Rabbits_. What could this Creature, this Animal have in his Head to
-hinder him from concluding that a Woman in such a Condition (were it
-possible any Woman could be in such a Condition) should not be mov’d out
-of her Bed; much less out of her House, and much less from _Guildford_
-to _London_. Yet since he is resolv’d upon another Expedition, I am
-resolv’d once more to attend him thither, and observe his Motions.
-
-And here he is again so keen upon this vile false Scent, that tho’ he
-finds Mr. _Howard_ standing at his Door, who tells him that he hop’d all
-was over, because that he did not perceive in the _Uterus_ any Motion as
-usual, yet he visited her several Times that Day, proceeded in every
-Respect, with the same Sagacity as before; and towards eight a Clock
-that Evening, deliver’d her of a Piece of one of the Membranes of a
-_Placenta_ (admirable!) roll’d up like Parchment. This shews how well he
-is acquainted with the Texture of those Membranes. And his Deficiency in
-that Point was further confirm’d by a second Delivery of (what he took
-to be) _another Piece of Membrane, in Structure, Shape and Size, exactly
-like the former_.
-
-Thus I have touch’d upon, and I hope abundantly expos’d the profound
-Observations contain’d in Mr. _St. André_’s short _Narrative_. Whenever
-he appears in Print again, upon this Occasion, as I find he threatens to
-do, I shall again be ready to guard the Public against being deluded by
-his pretended Discoveries. And, tho’ it is not my Nature to insult any
-Man upon Account of his Misfortunes, whether brought upon him by his own
-Folly, or the Malice of others; yet give me Leave to say, it is, of the
-two, a much more eligible Evil, that the Presumption of one ignorant
-Empiric, should undergo a public Chastisement, than the Understandings,
-of so many of his Majesty’s Loyal Subjects, be corrupted by such sham
-Demonstrations.
-
-But, after all, as I am a no less strict Lover of Justice, than an
-indefatigable Searcher after Truth; now my Resentment of Mr. _St.
-André_’s ill Conduct in this Affair, is somewhat cool’d by the Liberty I
-have taken in censuring and exposing it, I shall offer something, by Way
-of Abatement of that severe Construction, the World will be apt to pass
-upon his Judgment in this Affair.
-
-In the _first_ Place, I have the Charity to believe he has been
-egregiously impos’d upon, in Relation to the Character he has publish’d
-of Mr. _Howard_, whom he stiles, _a Man of known Probity_; whereas that
-Name is as notorious at _Guildford_, and the Parts adjacent, for
-denoting a Whisker, as ever mine was at _Redriff_, for establishing a
-Truth. _Secondly_, it must be consider’d that the Pleasure of being
-talk’d of, and heard to talk, in all Companies public and private, as
-the very second Discoverer (Mr. _Howard_ being indisputably the first)
-of this extraordinary and præternatural Production, must needs swell the
-Mind of a raw Practitioner with Vanity, and make him run blindfold into
-a Series of Absurdities; no one of which, at another Time, would have
-found any Admittance within the Bar of his Judgment. And _Thirdly_, The
-Nature of Climates, together with the several Makes, Capacities and
-Tempers of the Inhabitants of different Countries, are the Reason why
-Things may appear puzzling and perplexing in one Place, which in another
-would be accounted for, with the greatest Ease and Certainty imaginable;
-and why that, which is here a Cause of the highest Ridicule, in a
-contrary Part of the Globe, would be the Occasion of raising a Man’s
-Character to the most exalted Pitch of Dignity and Reputation.
-
-For Example, had a Native of the Kingdom of _Lilliput_, happen’d to be
-in this our Island, when the Story of the Rabbits was first vented at
-Court; and had such a one been dispatch’d to _Guildford_, in Order to
-enquire into the Truth of that Matter; upon the first View of those
-Pellets, against which Mr. _St. André_ had no Objection, he, with his
-fine Microscopic Eyes, would have instantly discover’d every particular
-Herb the Creature had fed on that Meal. And what Mr. _St. André_ calls
-_a dirty-colour’d_ Mucus, _such as is constantly found in the Bowels of
-all_ Fœtus _Animals, and such as in those that void their Excrements in
-Pellets, is commonly hard and dry_, our _Lilliputian_ would have
-distinguish’d to have been nothing but a Parcel of mere Rabbit’s Dung,
-which to him would have appear’d as coarse and large as a Scavenger’s
-Load, fresh taken from a Butcher’s Lay-stall would do to us. And that
-which, _in the middle of the Gut_ Ilium _of the Cat_, Mr. _St. André_
-thought was _like a very small Fish Bones_, the more quicksighted little
-Man would have demonstrated to have been nothing more than the Bones of
-a Herring, which that Creature had devoured a few Hours before it was
-thrust into the _Vagina_ of _Mary Toft_’s _Uterus_. Tho’, as Arts are
-very much improv’d with us, I question whether a very ordinary
-magnifying Glass, such as Children use to divert themselves with, might
-not have made the Discovery as well.
-
-But, if I am rightly inform’d, as to the Nature of Mr. _St. André_’s
-Education, I am strangely surpriz’d that He, of all People, should
-appear so unacquainted with the Materials of which the Strings of a
-Fiddle are compos’d.
-
-Again, tho’, in any of the _European_ Nations, those that pretend to any
-Skill in Anatomy or Midwifery would be scouted to Eternity for only
-questioning, or going to make Inquiry, whether it was possible for a
-Woman to be delivered of eighteen Rabbits, from two to four Months
-Growth; or a _Fœtus_ of that Size, but just dead, and whose _Flesh smelt
-like that of a Rabbit newly kill’d_, should be voided in Fragments and
-Bits; or that the same Woman, notwithstanding all these Deliveries,
-should be, during the whole time, perfectly healthy and well, feeding on
-nothing but Beef, Red-herring, &c. or that a Piece of Hog’s Bladder
-could be part of the _Chorion_, or Membrane of the _Placenta_; yet give
-me leave to say, that in the Kingdom of _Balnibarbi_, these things would
-appear in quite another Light. There, tho’ a _Virtuoso_ should only
-endeavour at a Demonstration of this kind, spend many Years in the
-Attempt, and all his Labours prove abortive at last, yet would his
-Suppositions be sure to meet with so kind a Reception from the publick,
-as to procure, at least, his being adopted, _nemine contradicente_, into
-the Academy of Sciences there; (of which I profess my self an unworthy
-Member.) Nay, it is ten to one but he would be taken up into the
-floating Island, and appointed Anatomist extraordinary to the Court of
-_Laputa_.
-
-Such is the Use I am always determin’d to make of this my Knowledge of
-the World and Mankind. As I will not suffer any upstart Pretender, of
-what Profession soever, to monopolize and vend his Absurdities within
-this my native Country, without such Animadversions as may serve to warn
-the publick against him: So, on the other side, if he happens to have
-any Merit which would shine and be distinguish’d in other Regions of the
-Earth, I shall be ready to do Justice in that Point also, by letting him
-know in what part of the World he may be sure to find a proper Reward.
-
-But I can’t conclude, without seriously lamenting the great Detriment
-like to accrue to our Nation by the Stir which has been made about this
-foul Imposture, both by the Actors and Examiners of it; and that as well
-in regard to the Warreners and Poulterers, (who complain that the
-Consumption of Rabbits, within this Metropolis, is become, by two
-thirds, less than it was formerly;) as in relation to those obscene and
-indecent Images, which for more than these nine Days last past, beyond
-all Example, have fill’d the Minds, and furnish’d out the Conversation
-of People of all Ranks, Ages and Conditions. And whether Ideas of this
-Nature are fit to be put into the Heads of rude Boys, Boarding-school
-Girls, and Old Maids, I leave every discreet and prudent Matron to
-judge.

-Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
-law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,

-States without permission and without paying copyright
-royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
-concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
-and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
-specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
-eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
-for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
-performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
-away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks
-not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the
-trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

-
-1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
-immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
-prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
-on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
-  This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
-  most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
-  restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
-  under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
-  eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
-  United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
-  are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
-either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
-obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
-additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
-will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
-posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
-beginning of this work.
-
-1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
-
-1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.
-
-1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
-compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
-any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
-to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
-other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
-version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
-(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
-to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
-of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
-Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
-full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
-
-1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
-performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
-unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
-access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-provided that
-
-* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
-  the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
-  you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
-  to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
-  agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
-  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
-  within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
-  legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
-  payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
-  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
-  Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
-  Literary Archive Foundation."
-
-* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
-  you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
-  does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-  License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
-  copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
-  all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
-  works.
-
-* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
-  any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
-  electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
-  receipt of the work.
-
-* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
-  distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-
-1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
-are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
-agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
-mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
-volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
-locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
-Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-After that long and
-particular Detail of my
-self, and of my various
-Adventures in so many
-different and remote parts of the
-Globe, as I have lately entertain’d
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_2'>2</span>the Public with, I little thought
-any private Occurrence, in so small
-a Spot as the Island of <em>Great Britain</em>,
-could have rous’d my Attention, and
-broke in upon that Repose, in which
-I hop’d to have spent the Remains of
-a declining Life. But small and inconsiderable
-as it is, I consider it is
-my own Country; the Thought of
-which, together with that inextinguishable
-Thirst after Truth and
-Knowledge, in regard to my self, and
-an ardent Inclination of communicating
-it to others, have prevail’d
-upon me once more to be expos’d in
-Print, in order to express my Abhorrence
-of a late diabolical Imposture:
-propagated, not so much by
-the Knavery of some, as by the Ignorance
-and Stupidity of others. I
-need not say I mean the Rabbit Affair;
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_3'>3</span>with which, for some Weeks
-past, the Minds of the People of this
-Island have been so seriously and so
-surprizingly employ’d; so as scarce
-to leave them any Leisure for
-Things of a more sublime Nature,
-and of vastly greater Consequence
-and Importance.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>And tho’ I verily believe this to
-be the real and only Cause, why the
-Perusal of my Travels has been so
-neglected of late, which, by the Decay
-of the Sale, has sensibly affected
-a worthy and honest Bookseller; yet
-I declare to the World, that my Motives
-for entering the Lists against
-Mr. <em>St. André</em> (a Person to me wholly
-unknown, and unheard of till I
-saw his Name in the News-Papers,
-upon that unfortunate Accident,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_4'>4</span>which befel him, when he fancied
-he was poyson’d) are, that little
-Skill which, by my Education and
-Experience, I have attain’d in Surgery
-and Anatomy, and that great
-Ignorance in both, which he has betray’d
-upon this Occasion.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>For tho’ that Gentleman’s Candor
-is very great in shewing such
-a remarkable Alertness, at confessing
-that he has been impos’d upon in
-this Paltry Business; and tho’ perhaps,
-by that he may flatter himself,
-that he shall escape all further Censure,
-yet I shall be at the Pains of
-Convincing the World that he is
-mistaken, even in this also; and that,
-had he not been most profoundly deficient
-in that discerning Penetration,
-with which all true Surgeons
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_5'>5</span>make Enquiries of this sort, he
-might have discover’d this Imposture
-at the very first Sight, and not
-have drawn in so many Persons of
-distinguish’d Sense and Figure, to
-be gull’d and deluded by so coarse
-and palpable a Fraud.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>For, to begin with his Narrative; a
-true Surgeon, one, I mean, orderly
-and properly educated in that worthy
-Profession, would never have suffer’d
-his Curiosity to be at all alarm’d by
-seeing a Letter from <em>Guildford</em>, which
-mention’d a Woman’s <em>being deliver’d
-of five Rabbits</em>: Suppose one were
-to see a Letter from <em>Battersea</em>, importing
-that a Woman there had
-been deliver’d of five Cucumbers, or
-indeed a hundred Letters, would
-that lead a Man of Sense to believe
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_6'>6</span>any Thing, but, either that the People
-who wrote those Letters had
-been grossly impos’d upon themselves,
-or intended to impose upon
-him. Either of these two Things
-may, and do happen every Day;
-but it was never known, that ever
-any Creature brought forth any one
-Creature of a Species in all Respects
-different from it self, much less five
-or seventeen such Creatures; for
-which therefore, a Man of common
-Sense, much more a penetrating
-and quicksighted Anatomist,
-should look upon all such Letters
-with the utmost Contempt.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Yet it was the Sight of two or
-three such Letters (and those flagrant
-with most conspicuous Tokens
-of Imposture) which induc’d
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_7'>7</span>Mr. <em>St. André</em>, at this time of the
-Year, to take two Journeys to
-<em>Guildford</em>, in order to enquire into
-the Truth of what, in Nature, it
-was impossible should be true. However,
-to <em>Guildford</em> he came for the
-first time; where I shall attend him
-a while, and watch his Motions,
-perhaps to a better Purpose than he
-did those of the Rabbit-bearing Woman:
-For tho’, with all his Skill
-he was not able to detect her Fraud,
-I hope with very little of mine to
-display his Ignorance.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>In the first Place, how stupid
-must he have been, not to suspect
-a Trick, when <em>Howard</em>, upon being
-sent for, came and acquainted him,
-<em>that the Woman was actually in Labour
-of the fifteenth Rabbit</em>. This
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_8'>8</span>puts me in Mind of what, above six
-and Forty Years ago, I learn’d at
-School; where the Sagacity of old
-<em>Simo</em> in the <em>Andria</em> of the <em>Terence</em> appears,
-to the utter Shame of our modearn
-<em>St. Andrians</em>: The old Gentleman
-had Reason to suspect Fraud
-from the known Character of a crafty
-Knave he had to deal with; and
-whose Business it was to make him
-believe, that a certain Lady was just
-then in Labour: Accordingly, as
-they approach her House, she contrives
-to be in one of her Labour
-Pains, and cries out so loud that the
-old Man must needs hear it: upon
-which, I remember, he says, with
-much Humour and Judgment, <i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">Hui,
-tam cito? ridiculum. Postquam ante ostium
-me audivit stare, approperat. Non
-sat commode divisa sunt temporibus
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_9'>9</span>tibi, Dave, hæc.</span></i> For thus, had he
-been credulous enough to go to
-<em>Guildford</em> to inquire into this Cheat,
-he would have said, in plain <em>English</em>,
-upon the like Occasion, <em>What a pox,
-is she so quick? this is the damn’dest
-Joke that ever was: the Moment she
-hears I am arrived, she falls into one
-of her Labour Pains: ah</em>, Howard!
-<em>this was not well tim’d of you by
-any means</em>.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>But, to return from this Digression,
-if the Woman was <em>actually in
-Labour of the fifteenth Rabbit</em>, why
-should Mr. <em>Howard</em> leave her, and
-stay with Mr. <em>St. André</em> till they
-call’d him again, when she was
-said to be in one of her Labour
-Pains? Here a wise Man would
-have smelt a Rat instead of a Rabbit:
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_10'>10</span>And much more, when this
-Woman in Labour Pains, and who
-had been in Labour some time then,
-nay fourteen times before, was <em>found
-dress’d in her Stays, and sitting on the
-Bed-side</em>; and that not for want of
-Help to put her to Bed; for there
-were <em>several Women near her</em>. A Man
-must have a spritely Genius for swallowing
-Imposture that was not stagger’d
-at such an Appearance. This
-sure it was that prompted Mr. <em>St.
-André</em> to wave all such Reflections,
-and proceed <em>immediately to examine
-her</em>; when, tho’ by his own Confession,
-he <em>did not find the Parts prepar’d
-for her Labour</em>, (which was
-another plain Indication of the Roguery)
-yet he was weak enough to
-<em>wait for the coming on of fresh Pains</em>,
-and, <em>in three or four Minutes after, to
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_11'>11</span>think he deliver’d her of the intire Trunk,
-strip’d of its Skin, of a Rabbit about
-four Months Growth</em> (he meant to
-have said, of an Animal of the Size
-and Figure of a Rabbit of four
-Months Growth) <em>in which the Heart
-and Lungs were contain’d, with the
-Diaphragm intire</em>. Well, what does
-my Gentleman then? He <em>instantly
-cut of a piece of them, and tried them
-in Water</em>; in which they swam, and
-when they were <em>press’d to the Bottom,
-rose again</em>. Now, it being notoriously
-the Property of the Lungs
-of a <em>Fœtus</em> to sink, and of a Creature
-which has been some time
-brought forth alive to swim, in Water;
-what but an absolute Prepossession
-in favour of this filthy Miracle,
-or a consummate Ignorance in these
-Matters could have hinder’d any sober
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_12'>12</span>Inquirer from being determin’d
-in relation to this Cheat, by the
-foregoing Trial? Yet Mr. <em>St. André</em>
-never boggles at this, nor at the
-Impossibility of the Trunk of such
-a Creature’s (suppos’d but just before
-to be alive) being stript of its
-Skin, by the contractive Faculty of
-the Womb; nor at the Woman’s
-being <em>chearful and easy, and walking
-by her self from the Bed-side to the
-Fire the Moment she was deliver’d</em>:
-But goes on <em>conjecturing</em> in a yet more
-absurd manner, that these Creatures,
-(as big as Rabbits of four Months
-Growth, which must be within a
-Trifle as big as full grown ones,)
-were bred in the <em>Fallopian Tubes</em>;
-and came into the <em>Uterus</em> one after
-another, where they lay and kick’d,
-till they were press’d to Death, and
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>flead, and all their Bones broken, in
-such a manner, that they were sensibly
-heard to snap, by the violent
-convulsive Motions of it.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>I take the Liberty to inform my
-Readers, upon this Occasion, that
-the <em>Fallopian Tubes</em> are a Passage of
-Communication, of scarce three Inches
-long, between the <em>Ovaria</em> and
-<em>Uterus</em>; thro’ which the <em>Embryo</em>,
-after Conception, is convey’d from
-the one to the other. And tho’ at
-that End next the <em>Uterus</em> they open,
-somewhat like the Mouth of
-a Trumpet, yet, when stretch’d to
-the utmost, the general Canal of
-them scarce exceeds the Thickness
-of ones Finger: And therefore the
-Impossibility of any one such Creature
-being contain’d there, much
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_14'>14</span>less of eighteen, as this Gentleman
-suppos’d, must appear to every one
-of a common Understanding. He
-tells us, no Blood nor Water issued
-from the <em>Vagina</em> after this Delivery,
-and that her Pulse was regular.
-Monstrous! that none of these Indications
-should open Mr. <em>St. André</em>’s
-Eyes. If he thought at all, what
-could he be thinking of? It is notorious,
-that in Births of dead Children,
-Women suffer much more
-Pain than in those of Living ones;
-so as to be, during the Operation, in
-high Fevers, with irregular Pulses,
-and left in great Weakness afterwards.
-Yet this Woman is deliver’d
-of fifteen dead Rabbits, such as
-of four Months Growth, without any
-Alteration in her Pulse, without the
-least Inflammation or Laceration in
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_15'>15</span>her <em>Vagina</em>, walking from the Bed-side,
-sitting down in a Chair by
-the Fire, as well as if nothing had
-happen’d; and skilful Mr. <em>St. André</em>
-swallowing this foul Imposture,
-without the least Squeamishness or
-Reluctance.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>In the <em>Rectum</em> of this Animal,
-which remain’d affix’d to the Body,
-Mr. <em>St. André</em> finds <em>five or six Pellets,
-much of the same Colour and Consistence
-of the common Dung of a Rabbit</em>.
-Strange! that this should not
-alarm him! (it being notorious that
-the Excrement of a <em>Fœtus</em> is always
-liquid) but this he swallows likewise;
-as he does <em>the Skin roll’d
-and squeez’d up like a Ball</em>, which
-he delivers her of some time after:
-And not long after that, of <em>the
-Head, with the Fur on, Part of
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>one of the Ears being torn off</em>. Upon
-all which Occasions, I mean those of
-the Womb’s having the Faculty of
-skinning a Rabbit all but the Head,
-of rolling this Skin up like a Ball,
-and tearing off a Piece of an Ear;
-this Gentleman speaks as familiarly
-as if they were common Cases,
-which wanted not in the least to be
-accounted for, or wonder’d at.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>In the Intervals between these notable
-Deliveries, Mr. <em>St. André</em> diverted
-himself and his Company, <em>by
-examining the several Rabbits, which
-were kept separate, in distinct Pots,
-with Spirits of Wine, in the Order
-that they were brought away</em>. Here
-likewise, I will do my self the Honour
-to attend him. And now,
-methinks, I see him expatiating, in
-a very genteel adroit manner, upon
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_17'>17</span>the general Resemblance, but particular
-and significant Difference between
-them and natural Rabbits.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>“<em>The first</em>,” says he, “<em>does not appear
-to be a perfect Rabbit, in all its Parts</em>.”
-(Here one would suppose, the Difference
-lay in some one or two, at
-most, minute, not easily observable,
-Circumstances, in which this Creature
-varied from a Rabbit: But, on
-the contrary, it seems ’twas a perfect
-Cat in all its Parts, one or two
-only excepted.) “<em>Three of the Feet
-being like the Paws of a Cat; the
-Stomach and Intestines like those in
-the same Animal; as also the Shape
-and Figure of the</em> Thorax. Observe,
-<em>the Lungs and Heart, how
-entirely they are out of their natural
-Situation; and squeez’d out between
-the upper Ribs, and</em> Vertebræ
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_18'>18</span><em>of the Neck</em> (doubtless by the
-convulsive Motion of the <em>Uterus</em>)
-<em>to which Parts</em>, observe how
-<em>strongly they grow and adhere. The
-Lungs of this Creature, had they
-been plac’d in their natural Cavity,
-would not have fill’d above a sixth
-Part of it. The Bones of this Creature
-are likewise all so different in
-Substance and Structure from those
-of common Rabbits</em>, that o’ my Conscience,
-<em>the Head and one Paw
-only excepted</em>, I think it has not the
-least Resemblance of them. <em>All
-the other thirteen Animals</em> I pronounce
-<em>to be in every particular, like
-well-form’d, common, natural Rabbits,
-from the size of two Months
-Growth to four. These have been
-all broken to pieces much in the
-same manner; but when these several
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_19'>19</span>parts are put together in their proper
-order, they manifestly make up
-and appear to belong to the abovemention’d
-Animals.</em> I confess <em>the</em> Viscera
-<em>are wanting in four or five of
-them</em>; but that is not very material;
-that Defect is amply supply’d
-by this <em>one remarkable Circumstance,
-which is, that most of these Animals</em>
-(for Rabbits I will not call them)
-<em>as far as I can judge, are Females.
-The Flesh of these Creatures, particularly
-of that which I extracted, has
-the Smell of Rabbits just kill’d; and
-the Substance of their Bones are, in
-all respects, like the Bones of</em> Fœtus
-<em>Rabbits</em>. (How particular, how
-dilucid, and exact is this part of
-his Lecture!) <em>From all these Considerations</em>
-(and many more too tedious
-and impertinent to be recited)
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_20'>20</span>with greater Assurance than
-Knowledge, <em>I am fully convinc’d,
-that, at the same time that the external
-Appearance of these Animals
-is exactly like such Creatures as must
-inevitably undergo the Changes that
-happen to adult Animals, by Food
-and Air, they carry within them the
-strongest Marks of</em> Fœtus’<em>s, even in
-such Parts as cannot exist in an Adult,
-and without which a</em> Fœtus
-<em>cannot possibly be suppos’d to live.
-This, I think, proves in the strongest
-Terms possible, that these Animals
-are of a particular kind, and not bred
-in a natural way; nor will there be
-any Doubt remaining (even with the
-least knowing in these Matters)</em>
-when these things come to be
-clear’d up by <em>the Anatomy of these
-præternatural Rabbits</em> (a præternatural
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_21'>21</span>Anatomist Thou art without
-Dispute) <em>which I shall publish with
-all convenient Speed, with their Figures
-taken from the Life, and compar’d
-with the Parts of Rabbits of
-the same Growth</em> (he would have
-said <em>the same size</em>) <em>that the Differences
-before-mention’d may be fully
-understood</em>.”</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>This therefore the publick has
-still just Reason to insist upon from
-Mr. <em>St. André</em>; for, however he may
-pretend to be impos’d upon by others
-in the Delivery of these Supposititious
-Rabbits, the learned anatomical
-Observations, recited above,
-are purely the Result of his own
-Skill and Judgment; and cannot
-with any Colour of Reason, be
-plac’d to the Account of Fraud and
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_22'>22</span>Imposture in others. Especially <em>those
-Facts</em> which he has the Assurance to
-say <em>were verified, before his Majesty on</em>
-Saturday, Nov. <em>the 26th, by the anatomical
-Demonstration of the first, the
-third, fifth and ninth of these Animals</em>.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>However, not content with having
-sufficiently plac’d his Reputation
-at stake in this audacious manner
-(for such I must call it) on the
-wretched Observations abovemention’d,
-<em>out he sets for</em> Guildford <em>again,
-being resolv’d to bring the Woman to
-Town if there was any Prospect of more
-Rabbits</em>. What could this Creature,
-this Animal have in his Head
-to hinder him from concluding
-that a Woman in such a Condition
-(were it possible any Woman
-could be in such a Condition)
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_23'>23</span>should not be mov’d out of her Bed;
-much less out of her House, and
-much less from <em>Guildford</em> to <em>London</em>.
-Yet since he is resolv’d upon
-another Expedition, I am resolv’d
-once more to attend him thither,
-and observe his Motions.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>And here he is again so keen upon
-this vile false Scent, that tho’ he
-finds Mr. <em>Howard</em> standing at his
-Door, who tells him that he hop’d
-all was over, because that he did
-not perceive in the <em>Uterus</em> any Motion
-as usual, yet he visited her several
-Times that Day, proceeded in
-every Respect, with the same Sagacity
-as before; and towards eight
-a Clock that Evening, deliver’d her
-of a Piece of one of the Membranes
-of a <em>Placenta</em> (admirable!) roll’d
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_24'>24</span>up like Parchment. This shews how
-well he is acquainted with the Texture
-of those Membranes. And his
-Deficiency in that Point was further
-confirm’d by a second Delivery of
-(what he took to be) <em>another Piece
-of Membrane, in Structure, Shape and
-Size, exactly like the former</em>.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Thus I have touch’d upon, and
-I hope abundantly expos’d the profound
-Observations contain’d in Mr.
-<em>St. André</em>’s short <em>Narrative</em>. Whenever
-he appears in Print again, upon
-this Occasion, as I find he threatens
-to do, I shall again be ready to
-guard the Public against being deluded
-by his pretended Discoveries.
-And, tho’ it is not my Nature to
-insult any Man upon Account of his
-Misfortunes, whether brought upon
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_25'>25</span>him by his own Folly, or the
-Malice of others; yet give me
-Leave to say, it is, of the two, a
-much more eligible Evil, that the
-Presumption of one ignorant Empiric,
-should undergo a public Chastisement,
-than the Understandings, of
-so many of his Majesty’s Loyal Subjects,
-be corrupted by such sham Demonstrations.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>But, after all, as I am a no less
-strict Lover of Justice, than an indefatigable
-Searcher after Truth;
-now my Resentment of Mr. <em>St. André</em>’s
-ill Conduct in this Affair, is
-somewhat cool’d by the Liberty I
-have taken in censuring and exposing
-it, I shall offer something, by
-Way of Abatement of that severe
-Construction, the World will be apt
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_26'>26</span>to pass upon his Judgment in this
-Affair.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>In the <em>first</em> Place, I have the Charity
-to believe he has been egregiously
-impos’d upon, in Relation
-to the Character he has publish’d
-of Mr. <em>Howard</em>, whom he stiles, <em>a
-Man of known Probity</em>; whereas that
-Name is as notorious at <em>Guildford</em>,
-and the Parts adjacent, for denoting
-a Whisker, as ever mine was at
-<em>Redriff</em>, for establishing a Truth.
-<em>Secondly</em>, it must be consider’d that
-the Pleasure of being talk’d of, and
-heard to talk, in all Companies
-public and private, as the very second
-Discoverer (Mr. <em>Howard</em> being
-indisputably the first) of this extraordinary
-and præternatural Production,
-must needs swell the Mind of
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_27'>27</span>a raw Practitioner with Vanity, and
-make him run blindfold into a Series
-of Absurdities; no one of which,
-at another Time, would have found
-any Admittance within the Bar of
-his Judgment. And <em>Thirdly</em>, The
-Nature of Climates, together with
-the several Makes, Capacities and
-Tempers of the Inhabitants of different
-Countries, are the Reason why
-Things may appear puzzling and
-perplexing in one Place, which in another
-would be accounted for, with
-the greatest Ease and Certainty
-imaginable; and why that, which
-is here a Cause of the highest Ridicule,
-in a contrary Part of the
-Globe, would be the Occasion of
-raising a Man’s Character to the
-most exalted Pitch of Dignity and
-Reputation.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'><span class='pageno' id='Page_28'>28</span>For Example, had a Native of
-the Kingdom of <em>Lilliput</em>, happen’d
-to be in this our Island, when the
-Story of the Rabbits was first vented
-at Court; and had such a one
-been dispatch’d to <em>Guildford</em>, in Order
-to enquire into the Truth of
-that Matter; upon the first View of
-those Pellets, against which Mr. <em>St.
-André</em> had no Objection, he, with
-his fine Microscopic Eyes, would
-have instantly discover’d every particular
-Herb the Creature had
-fed on that Meal. And what
-Mr. <em>St. André</em> calls <em>a dirty-colour’d</em>
-Mucus, <em>such as is constantly
-found in the Bowels of all</em>
-Fœtus <em>Animals, and such as in those
-that void their Excrements in Pellets,
-is commonly hard and dry</em>, our <em>Lilliputian</em>
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_29'>29</span>would have distinguish’d to
-have been nothing but a Parcel of
-mere Rabbit’s Dung, which to him
-would have appear’d as coarse
-and large as a Scavenger’s Load,
-fresh taken from a Butcher’s Lay-stall
-would do to us. And that which,
-<em>in the middle of the Gut</em> Ilium <em>of the
-Cat</em>, Mr. <em>St. André</em> thought was <em>like a
-very small Fish Bones</em>, the more quicksighted
-little Man would have demonstrated
-to have been nothing
-more than the Bones of a Herring,
-which that Creature had devoured
-a few Hours before it was thrust into
-the <em>Vagina</em> of <em>Mary Toft</em>’s <em>Uterus</em>.
-Tho’, as Arts are very much improv’d
-with us, I question whether
-a very ordinary magnifying Glass,
-such as Children use to divert themselves
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_30'>30</span>with, might not have made
-the Discovery as well.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>But, if I am rightly inform’d, as
-to the Nature of Mr. <em>St. André</em>’s
-Education, I am strangely surpriz’d
-that He, of all People, should appear
-so unacquainted with the Materials
-of which the Strings of a Fiddle are
-compos’d.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Again, tho’, in any of the <em>European</em>
-Nations, those that pretend to any
-Skill in Anatomy or Midwifery
-would be scouted to Eternity for only
-questioning, or going to make Inquiry,
-whether it was possible for a
-Woman to be delivered of eighteen
-Rabbits, from two to four Months
-Growth; or a <em>Fœtus</em> of that Size,
-but just dead, and whose <em>Flesh smelt
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_31'>31</span>like that of a Rabbit newly kill’d</em>,
-should be voided in Fragments and
-Bits; or that the same Woman, notwithstanding
-all these Deliveries,
-should be, during the whole time,
-perfectly healthy and well, feeding
-on nothing but Beef, Red-herring,
-&amp;c. or that a Piece of Hog’s Bladder
-could be part of the <em>Chorion</em>, or
-Membrane of the <em>Placenta</em>; yet give
-me leave to say, that in the Kingdom
-of <em>Balnibarbi</em>, these things
-would appear in quite another Light.
-There, tho’ a <i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">Virtuoso</span></i> should only
-endeavour at a Demonstration of
-this kind, spend many Years in the
-Attempt, and all his Labours prove
-abortive at last, yet would his Suppositions
-be sure to meet with so kind
-a Reception from the publick, as to
-procure, at least, his being adopted,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_32'>32</span><i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">nemine contradicente</span></i>, into the Academy
-of Sciences there; (of which I
-profess my self an unworthy Member.)
-Nay, it is ten to one but he
-would be taken up into the floating
-Island, and appointed Anatomist extraordinary
-to the Court of <em>Laputa</em>.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Such is the Use I am always determin’d
-to make of this my Knowledge
-of the World and Mankind.
-As I will not suffer any upstart Pretender,
-of what Profession soever, to
-monopolize and vend his Absurdities
-within this my native Country,
-without such Animadversions as may
-serve to warn the publick against
-him: So, on the other side, if he
-happens to have any Merit which
-would shine and be distinguish’d in
-other Regions of the Earth, I
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_33'>33</span>shall be ready to do Justice in that
-Point also, by letting him know in
-what part of the World he may be
-sure to find a proper Reward.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>But I can’t conclude, without seriously
-lamenting the great Detriment
-like to accrue to our Nation
-by the Stir which has been made about
-this foul Imposture, both by
-the Actors and Examiners of it; and
-that as well in regard to the Warreners
-and Poulterers, (who complain
-that the Consumption of Rabbits,
-within this Metropolis, is become,
-by two thirds, less than it
-was formerly;) as in relation to
-those obscene and indecent Images,
-which for more than these nine Days
-last past, beyond all Example, have
-fill’d the Minds, and furnish’d out
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_34'>34</span>the Conversation of People of all
-Ranks, Ages and Conditions. And
-whether Ideas of this Nature are fit
-to be put into the Heads of rude
-Boys, Boarding-school Girls, and
-Old Maids, I leave every discreet
-and prudent Matron to judge.</p>

-  United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
-  are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the

-  the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
-  you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
-  to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
-  agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
-  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
-  within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are

-  does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-  License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
-  copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
-  all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
-  works.
-
-* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of

-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE

-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a

-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO

-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
-mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
-volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
-locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
-Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to
-date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and
-official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
