It would have been much more to the Credit of this Author to have subscribed to this Doctrine at once, without endeavouring to maintain, in so uncertain a Manner, any Thing that had the least Hint towards allowing a Perforation in the Clitoris, or a virile Nature to a Woman, and so suddenly to quit and contradict his former Opinion, in his Histories and Animadversions on them, which must be very obvious to any one that will allow himself Time and Liberty to consider the Animal Oeconomy, and the Laws of Nature, as far as they respect human Bodies. _Dr DOUGLAS._ The Explanation of the Figures in the following large Plate, which this most consummate Anatomist has favoured me with, are sufficient to shew, that these Sort of Subjects are, in his Opinion, Females in all Respects. The first Figure he had delineated from the _Angolan_ in a most accurate Manner; and the other two were done some time ago, as appears by his Explanation; of both which he had given Copies to the ingenious Mr _Cheselden_, which he has in his Book of Anatomy. In making these Figures, the Doctor, according to his accustomed Accuracy, avoids the Omission which _De Graaf_ is guilty of; for though the latter’s Dissection and Description of the Subject that came before him are very satisfactory, in proving it Female, yet inasmuch as he has not shewed any Part of the Orificium Vaginæ in his Figure, it is not so much to the Purpose as those of Dr _Douglas_. This Woman was carried from _Angola_ in _Africa_, amongst other Slaves, to _America_, from whence she was brought to _Bristol_. She is about six and twenty Years old, has no Beard on her Chin, nor any Thing masculine in her Countenance; her Arms above the Elbow are thick and fleshy, as many Womens are, but soft; her Breasts are small, her Voice effeminate in the common Tone of speaking, and it was reported she has often been lain with by Men; and as to the Parts of Generation, they are so justly described in the following Explanation, that the Reader is referred to that. [Illustration: _A View of the external Parts of Generation in the ~African~ Woman, that was brought lately from ~Angola~, exactly delineated from the Life, and well engraven._] FIG. I. 1. The _Regio Pubis_, with _Pili_ upon it. 2. A Tumour or Swelling between the _Inguen_, and the upper Part of the _Labium Vaginæ_. 3. _Nympha Luxurians_, or as this Part is commonly called, tho’ very improperly, _Clytoris, magnitudine aucta_, that is, the true _Nympha Muliebris_, which is enlarged to an uncommon Length and Bigness, in which we may observe it’s _Cutis Rugosa_, or wrinkly Skin, which terminates in a _Præputium_, here turned back to shew it’s large _Glans_, in which there is not the smallest Perforation or Opening.
