had eighty teeth, and was fifteen feet
high.
Roland, celebrated anatomist. of 16-
10, saw in the suburbs of St. Germain.
the tomb of the giant Isoret, who was
twenty feet in height.
1t is evident we could 90 any length
in the way of giants, were it desirable to
multiply instances of the extraordinary
stature nature will sometimes permit a
rare specimen Of humanity to reach. a
Bishop at Paris, of the last century,
claimed to have discovered a system of
dietetirs by which he could increase his
height and proportion of the human body
ad h6ltum, and it is said that the youth
upon he experimental, and who was not
over the ordinary size of other children
OF the same age, commenced under the
Bishops system at seven, and when he
arrived at the age of thirteen had reach
ed the height Of eight feet. But at this
point the Bishop died, and the secret of
his system died with him. There is no.
thing to lament in this loss, for nature
has wisely arranged matters, and the Or
dlnary stature Of man bears, doubtless a
Just proportion to the rest of creation.
The armor exhibited in the tower of Lon
don, from its great weight, IS often cited
as proof the superior strength of our
ancestors. This we take to be very de-
tective evidence, if meant to establish
the fact Of superior natural endowments.
1t only proves that the luxurious habits
