The Examination of any more Authors upon this Topick would amount to more Pains than at present are necessary, and besides, Repetitions could hardly be avoided if any more were called in Question, since we find Authors were so fond of running in the same Path with one another; therefore the Remarks that have been made on those already mentioned may, I hope, be sufficient (together with the rest that has been said) to answer the End of this Treatise, which is no more than to illustrate the Cause of the first Rise of the Notions of Hermaphrodites among Men; to shew how credulous our Ancestors have been of these Chimera’s, and how fond of encouraging their Progress tho’ in the meanest Manner of arguing; to prove, by comparing all the Opinions of Authors, that no hermaphrodital Nature can exist in human Bodies; and, in fine, that those Subjects hitherto so accounted, were only Females in all Respects, superstitiously, and through Ignorance, mistaken for those Kind of Creatures, or for Men; which, with some other Disorders of the Pudenda of either Sex, gave rise to the several Divisions that afterwards sprung up concerning them; as far from Truth (or even rational Conjecture) as any other Error that ever was received by Mankind. And this will still be further illustrated by the following Description of a Fœtus, with a very large Clitoris, that came to my Hands some time since, which I have taken due Care of for this Purpose. This Subject was an abortive Fœtus of about six Months Growth, in which (though so young) the Pudenda are conspicuous enough, and the Clitoris sufficiently large to prove every Thing that has been said upon the Subject; and to serve as a Standard, wherewith to confront any fabulous Reports that may hereafter spring up in the World, which I have endeavoured to describe in the most faithful Manner that I am capable of. But before we proceed to this Description, it will be of great Use towards the Design of this little Work, to insert the following Observation; which I had the Honour to lay before the _Royal Society_ on _Thursday_ the 30th of _April_ 1741, and which, I hope, will add no small Force to what has been already said upon it. All female Fœtus’s, during the greatest Part of the Time of Gestation, have the Clitoris as large in Proportion to their Sizes, and sometimes larger, than the _Angolan_ Woman before-mentioned, which is evident from several then shewed together to the Society; this, I am inclined to believe, is Nature’s common Rule all over the World. Now it is impossible that so many Hermaphrodites should be found at once, since we have so very few Instances among the _European_ Nations of those so reputed; though, as is before observed, they are common enough in _Africa_ and _Asia_, in all those Places especially that are nearest the Equinoctial Line; where the Nonnaturals themselves conduce much to the general Relaxation of the Solids, and consequently, this unseemly Accretion of that Part.
