Nor was I content with this, but for
Your Lordſhips further ſatisfaction, and
my own, I cauſ'd a Mouſe, that was very
hungry, to be ſhut in all Night, with a
Bed of Paper for him to reſt upon: And
to be ſure that the Receiver was well
cloſ'd, I cauſ'd ſome Air to be drawn out
of it, whereby, perceiving that there
was no ſenſible leak, I preſently re-ad
mitted the Air at the Stop-cock, leſt the
want of it ſhould harm the little Animal;
and then I cauſ'd the Engine to be kept
all Night by the Fire ſide, to keep him
from being deſtroy'd by the immoderate
cold of the Froſty Night. And this care
ſucceeded ſo well, that the next Morning
I found that the Mouſe not onely was a
live, but had devour'd a good part of the
Cheeſe that had been put in with him. And
having thus kept him alive full twelve
hours, or better, we did, by ſucking out
part of the Air, bring him to droop, and
to appear ſwell'd; and by letting in the
Air again, we ſoon reduc'd him to his for
mer livelineſs.
