    . TREATISE O F A Letter to the Learned Dr. William Briggs, Fellow of the College of Phyficians, and Royal Society, and Phyfieian in Ordinary to His Majefty. WHEREIN A General View being firfi taken of the Frame of the Humane Body the Mechanifm of Vital, and other Mufcular Motions, is Exa¬ min'd, both in a Bhyfical and Anatomical manner. By his Friend, Dr. CONNOR, Fellow of the Royal Society, and one of the College of Phyficians SIR I Have receiv'd your Letter, wherein you defire me to give Mr. <Brou?ne what fmall account I can of the JHecbanifm of Mufcular Motion; to be, as you mention, an Ornament to his Treatife of Mufcles. Mr. Browne himfelf did write to me before to the fame purpofe : I was defirous to be excus'd from appearing in Print in another Perfons Book, having nothing extraordinary to fay that would be an Ornament to his Worf^ or a Reputation to my felf. ? I might, Sir, very juftly excufe my felf to you, having fhew’d your felf fo well vers’d in the Structure and Motion of Mufcles, in your ingenious Diflertation of the Eye; for Mr. Browne would have more reafon to apply himfelf to you, than to me, becaufe what you would have me fay of Mufcular Motion muff be imperfect and deficient; not only becaufe l had but Two Days to write it, before Mr. Brownes Book was publifh d,but likewife becaufe the Subic Vc it felf is very abftrufe and' difficult.
