Prudence Maples, wife of Mr. William Maples, B living on Horn’s creek, in South-Carolina, in the 49th Bof her age, and going with her 19th child, was about Bears ago in the county of Lunenburg, in Virginia, de a perfect in all its members as to B bcr and f,ze » t 0 which was grown exactly half of another W' a b?y ; not an exciefcence, for it had. half a head and Jn of the fame size as the perfeft child, with the members, fiitfias one eye, one ear, one cheek, hal f a nose and motif!*,. &c. and what was very extraordinary, the skull was as opea as if a perfect head had been fawn through from the crown to its bate; by which means the brain was entirely open w view, and its motions were plainly discovered on every pul sation of the heart. This was catily leen, as the half head and neck of the impeifett child did. r.ot adhere to the perfect one ; but the jnntlion began at the shoulder of the imperfefl, to the left bi east or rather fide of the perfe‘l one, and conti nued down as low as opposite the hip of the one, and the thigh of the other. The unfinifhed child was of the fame length with the finilhed one, and therefore the foot of the former extended as much below that of the latter, as the head of the latter was above that of the former. Thus far thii birth must be an objed of curiosity to eve r y one ; but will ic not afford matter of enquiry* to thole in the ooftetric line, when it is added, that both the perfed and impeded child, appeared to be equally sensible of pain, and expired at the fame moment*after having lived abour twenty-four hours > G E O K G I A.
