300. A head, no hellebore can cure. I was yesterday engaged in an assembly of virtuo- sos, where one of them produced many curious ob- servations which he had lately made in the anatomy of an human body. Another of the company com- municated to us several wonderful discoveries, which he had also made on the same subject, by the help of very fine glasses. This gave birth to a great variey of uncommon remarks, and furnished discourse for the remaining part of the day. N275. SPECTATOR. 101 The dif...ferent opinions which were started on this occasion, presented to my imagination so many new ideas, that by mixing with those which were already there, they employed my fancy all the last night, and composed a very wild extravagant dream. I was invited methought, to the dissection of a beau's head, and a coquette's heart, which were both of them laid on a table before us. An imaginary operator opened the first with a great deal of nicety, which upon a cursory and superficial view, appeared like the head of another man ; but upon applying our glasses to it, we made a very odd discovery, namely, that what we looked upon as brains, were not such in reality, but an heap of strange materials wound up in that shape and texture, and packed together with wonderful art in the several cavities of the skull.
