REMARKS.
Sir Charles Clarke, who was kind enough to accompany me to the museum of St. George’s Hospital very lately, and who greatly admires the present drawing of his preparation[[28]], assured me, that a small embryo hung pendulous from the yet visible rudiment of an umbilical cord. That embryo, however, is not now to be seen. Sir Charles also stated that the case which furnished this specimen was that of an unmarried female, who acknowledged herself to be pregnant, and who died from a natural disorder. On examining the uterine system after death, with a view to ascertain the state of the parts under the presumed condition of impregnation, the appearances portrayed in this plate presented themselves to view,—certainly of sufficient interest to be preserved.
Sir Charles does not recollect any account being published of the Case; nor any other particulars.
