e and assist others in a matter, which, to be well prosecuted, will require many hands. At the reading of them, the _Author_ declared, that of divers of them he thought he could fore-see the Events, but {386} yet judged it fit, not to omit them, because the Importance of the _Theories_, they may give light to, may make the Tryals recompence the pains, whether the success favour the _Affirmative_ or the _Negative_ of the Question, by enabling us to determine the one or the other upon surer grounds, than we could otherwise do. And this Advertisement he desires may be applied to those other Papers of his, that consist of _Quaeries_ or proposed _Tryals_. _The _Quaeries_ themselves follow._ 1. Whether by this way of Transfusing Blood; the disposition of Individual Animals of the same kind, may not be much altered? (As whether a _fierce_ Dog, by being often quite new stocked with the blood of a _cowardly_ Dog, may not become more tame; _& vice versa, &c_?) 2. Whether immediately upon the unbinding of a Dog, replenisht with adventitious blood, he will know and fawn upon his Master; and do the like customary things as before? And whether he will do such things better or worse at some time after the Operation? 3. Whether those Dogs, that have _Peculiarities_, will have them either abolisht, or at least much impaired by transfusion of blood? (As whether the blood of a _Mastiff_, being frequently transfused into a _Blood-hound_, or a _Spaniel_, will not prejudice them in point of scent?) 4. Whether acquired Habits will be destroy'd or impair'd by this Experiment? (As whether a Dog, taught to fetch and carry, or to dive after Ducks, or to sett, will after frequent and full recruits of the blood of Dogs unfit for those Exercises, be as good at them, as before?) 5. Whether any considerable change is to be observ'd in the Pulse, Urin, and other Excrements of the _Recipient_ Animal, by this Operation, or the quantity of his insensible Transpiration? 6. Whether the _Emittent_ Dog, being full fed at such a distance of time before the Operation, that the mass of blood may be suppos'd to abound with _Chyle_, the _Recipient_ Dog, being before hungry, will lose his appetite, more than if the _Emittent_ Dogs blood had not been so chylous? And how long, upon a {387} Vein opened of a Dog, the admitted blood will be found to retain _Chyle_? 7. Whether a Dog may be kept alive without eating by the frequent Injection of the Chyle o
