We ſhall conclude this hiſtory of the eye with a paſſage from the celebrated Dutch anatomiſt, Antonius Nuck concerning the aquous humour which ſuſtains the uvea tunica. This profeſſor, in an anatomical lecture at Leyden, publicly demonſtrated that the aquous fluid copiouſly flowing out of the eye of a dog, which had been wounded for the purpoſe, in ſix hours time the ball of the eye recovered from its flacid ſtate and was replete with the aquous humour, without any medicinal application; and it is the ſame with the human eye, nature having made proviſion ſpeedily to repair the loſs of this fluid, from any wound in the outermoſt coat of the eye, by the help of certain lymphatic ducts inſerted into the ball of the eye, and proceeding from glandules formed to ſeparate this water from the blood for that purpoſe.

Locusts do not touch mabele, and therefore there is no excuse for not putting in more.

We advanced into the main hall, already aroar with a saturnalia of sozzled gestures and gibbering.

Let the priest in surplice white/That defunctive music can/ Be the death-divining swan/ Lest the requiem lack his right.
