Excerpt from De Colubri Natricis Generatione: Commentatio Qua Orationem Ad Suscipiendum Munus Professoris Extraordinarii Medicinae Die V. Julii 1834, Illustris Ictorum Ordinis Concessu in Auditorio JuridicoImposita mihi seribendi necessitate, edam nonnullas de coluhrorum generatione ohservàtiones quas quamvis imperfectas, tamen ipsa rei dignitate commendatum iri'existimo. Quae observationes cujus generis sint, quidque vel satis com probatum iis, vel nondum recte erutum sit, ingenue fatehor. Nihil me impe divit fetuum disseeandorum raritas, quae, frequentissimis apud nos colubris, nulla erat. [mo dissecanti mihi innumera allata sunt ova eoluhrorum, ita ut rem di¿icilem et subtilein tractare ac retractare ad libitum possem. Sed maxime mihi ohstitit overum aetas, quae juste proveelior esset. Nempe nulla accepi ova ex matris ventre excisa, quae tamen ipsa fetum jam tum temporis memorabilem continent. Nullos equidem juniores fetus disseeui, quam qui ovis recenter positis inessent, quare diversarum partiam incrementa qaum exami narem, nee primum eorum exordium inspicere, nec ullra certos fines transire potni. Sieut autem initium generationis non vidi, ita ne finem quidem ejus ultimum observavi. Scilicet pullos ex ovis eommodum exelusos non dissecui. Quam rem ne quis nimis magni momenti haheat, monendum est, 'pullos me examinasse hujusmodi, qui. 'et formam et colorem naturalem prae se ferrent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
