the opening was then closed ; and the animal foon put himself
in motion, though lowly. I cannot express the joy we felt on
this occasion.'

On the next day, however, we are told that the Doctor re-
peated the experiment on five other animals; but that none of
them recovered. On opening their chefts, it was found that
their lungs were filled with water, even in their minutest rami-
fications. On this occasion, Dr. Hoelman was convinced that
the failure of the instrument was to be ascribed to its extremity
not reaching, or coming into contact with, the water.

“Although our expectations,' says Mr. W. have not been
answered, I have requested leave of the Doctor to inform

you

of
these trials. I do this, partly to shew you that we zealously con-
€úr with you in profecuting the objects of your inftitution; and
partly in hopes that these trials may lead the way to something
more perfect.'

In the Appendix to our 47th Volume, 1772, page 521, we
gave an account of an apparatus constructed by M. de la Cha-
pelle, to which he gives the name of a faphandre; by means of
which the most timorous person, ignorant of the art of swim-
ming, may keep himself in an erelt position in the water,
and may, as it were, walk across the deepest rivers ; the water
rising no higher than the pit of his stomach. Mr. Van Engelen,
one of the members of the Amsterdam society, having read with
much pleasure the treatise published by the inventor, in which
this instrument is particularly deferibed, was convinced of its
great fuperiority to the cork jacket, or other inventions of the
fame kind. The society warmly recommends the use of this ap-
paratus, not only for the purpose of preventing accidents, but
likewise that of facilitating the extraction of drowned bodies.
As the instrument costs but little, and may be contained in a
very finall box; they propose that veffels and even boats should
be provided with them, and that, in cities and villages, a suffi-
cient number should be deposited in the most convenient places.

We shall only further observe, with respect to this publication,
that befides the relation of cases, and of various particulars
respecting the proceedings of other inftitutions formed in Eng-
land, France, Italy, and other parts of Europe, this number
contains three plates, in which the various instruments or ar-
ticles to be employed in the recovery of drowned persons, are
accurately delineated.
