In 1755 there was exhibited at Rouen a giant 6% feet in height A Hwedish peasant mentioned by Buifon was RX feet in height, and this too was the stature of the Finnish giant, Cujanus; and the King of Prusla, Frederick William, had a guard of nearly the the same height. The giant Gille, of Trent, in the Tyrol, was ovcr 8}( feet in height, and this was the stature of one of the guards of the duke of Brunswick. The giant Winchelmcier, who is now exhib- iting at Paris, and who is 8% feet in height, may be taken, then, as an example of the highest stature reached in the human species. At the opposite extremity, we find a large number of dwarfs cited as having been less than twenty inches in height. Some of these are said to have been but sixteen or even twelve inches; but such dwarfs have been but monsters with atrophied legs or with a curved spine, or children whose de- velopment has been arrested and wiiom their ahowmen aged by some you: The famous Gen. Tom Thunib was an example, as are likewise the ltoyni Midgeta, recently exhibited at Paris, and the little Princes Paulina But if, in the long list of dwarfeof whom it deecrip- tion has been preserved, we search for the amallest, even after it had reached an adult age, andone umtatthenme time pounced a normal conformation, we shall ilnd one especially that merits particular attention. We refer to the celebrated dwarf Bornlaw- aky, who was born in 1780 and died in 1837. and never wns over 29 inchea in height. He was perfectly well formed; his head was well proportional; his eyes were beautiful and full of tire; his features were handsome. and his pliyxii-gii-:ii_\' was intellectual and per- trayed the iIi.- ;r.-i_u-t_v, politenel and rene- ment of his mini.

If we are to believe ancient writers, con- tinues La Nature, in number of giants and giuntesses have reached statures that are extraordinary, even for this class of persons. Pliny speaks of a giant named Gabara, who was 0% feet in height, and `two other giants, Posio and Secundilla, who were half in foot ` taller. The young female giantess cited by Garopiul was, according to him. 10 feet 11 inches in height. According to Lecnt,there was once a Scotch giant who was l:3`{ feet in height; but it seems probable that the heights attributed to these various glunta urn greatly exaggerated. On the contrary, we run con- sider statements of heights of from R}; to S,l{ feet as authentic.
