_Exitus Urinæ patet unicus, unicus alvo, Observant numerum cætera membra suum. Misit ad Ignotos tenuis Fortuna Parentum, Neu pereat tantæ Fama stupenda rei. InterIora Latent, neqVeVnt abstrVsa VIDerI: eXIgVo totVM CorpVs In ære patet._ _J. Mynde sc._] Another account of them by an eye-witness in London is in a manuscript volume among those of Sir Hans Sloane, Bart. in the British Museum, intituled, _A short History of human Prodigies and monstrous Births, of Dwarfs, Sleepers, Giants, strong Men, Hermaphrodites, numerous Births, and extreme old Age, &c._ The name of the writer was James Paris du Plessis. In p. 39. under the Title _Two Sisters conjoined_, he gives a drawing of them, and the following description: “These two monstrous girls were born at Szony in Hungary in the year 1701. They were born conjoined together at the small of the back. I asked the father and mother, if they could not be separated one from the other? but they answered, No; because the urinary and fœcal vessels and passages were so united, as to have but one issue for the urine, and another for the excrements, betwixt both. They were brisk, merry, and well-bred: they could read, write, and sing very prettily: they could speak three different languages, as Hungarian or High Dutch, Low Dutch, and French, and were learning English. They were very handsome, very well shaped in all parts, and beautiful faces. Helen was born three hours before her sister Judith. When one stooped, she lifted the other from the ground, and carried the other upon her back; neither could they walk side by side. They loved one another very tenderly. Their clothes were fine and neat. They had two bodies, four sleeves; and one petticoat served to the bodies, and their shifts the same. When one went forward, the other was forced to go backward.” A later and more particular account is contained in p. 41, _& seqq._ of a book very seldom met with in this country, being printed at Vienna in 1729. intituled, _Gerardi Cornelii Drieschii Historia magnæ Legationis Cæsareæ, quam Caroli VI. auspiciis suscepit Damianus Hugo Virmondtius_, &c. The following extract, tho’ long, will not probably be thought unentertaining.
