Menstruation; Miscarriage

In sending you the last of the series of engravings on stone which I
  have executed under your directions for your work on Abortion, &c.,
  I cannot omit stating, that I have endeavoured, to the best of my
  abilities, to copy in every instance and every minute particular the
  anatomical preparations which you placed before me and explained to
  me as I proceeded in my designs. The figures, in every case, have
  been drawn of the natural size, and are perfect facsimiles of the
  originals.

  It gives me great pleasure to learn that they have given you
  satisfaction, and I am not a little flattered at having been assured
  by several medical gentlemen of eminence, who have seen my drawings,
  that the manner in which they are executed, and the work altogether,
  meet with their unqualified approbation.

                                I have the honour to be,
                                        Dear Sir,
                                                Your obedient servant,
                                                      JOSEPH PERRY.

  To DR. GRANVILLE,

                 SPECIMENS OF VERY EARLY MISCARRIAGES.


Fig. 1. Ovulum bigeminum lanuginosum.

            (Four weeks after menstruation.)

      This twin Ovulum has lost its outer shell or _cortex_, within
      which it originally made its way from the Ovarium into the womb.

      The mossy or filiform vessels which, like an efflorescence,
      surround the present surface of the Ovulum, are, as yet, deprived
      of that extremely delicate membrane, which at a more advanced
      period of utero-gestation will cover them, and dipping amongst
      them, (after the fashion of the inner membranous envelope of the
      brain,) will separate them into vascular groups or cotyledons,
      having a single principal trunk in each, and many short and
      tortuous branches besides, constituting the placenta.

      The slit visible in one part of the Ovulum leads to a small cavity
      from which the embryo escaped. In the second cavity to the left,
      which is still intact, the embryo is visible when the Ovulum is
      placed before a strong light.


Fig. 2. Ovulum semi-lanuginosum.

            (Three weeks and a half after menstruation.)
