A descriptive and historical account of hydraulic and other machines for raising water, ancient and modern : with observations on various subjects connected with the mechanic arts: including the progressive development of the steam engine . the syringe. Had it been a Grecian or Roman inven-tion, the name of its author would have been known, for from its utility andapplication to various useful purposes, an account of the circumstancescoimected with its origin was as worthy of preservation, as those lelatingto the pump or any other machine. Suetonius uses the tei-m clyster todenote the instrument by which it was administered; and Celsus by it, refers to a httle pipe or squirt. (Ainsworth.) Hippocrates and the elderPliny frequently mention clysters, but without describing distinctly ti.einstrument employed : the latter m his 30th book, cap. 7, seems to referto the commonpewter syringe, an instnanimt. or jipc of tin: this is atleast probable, for pewlev, dccorumg to Whittaker, was borrowed from theRomans. It is well ascertained tnat pewterers were among the earliestworkers of metal in England. A company of them was incorporated in1474 ; but at what time the syringe became a staple article of their ma-nufacture is uncertain.. No. 115. Syringes usi^d l>y lliniloos iu celebrat?rg soma religious IcstiviiiS. Had the syringe not been mentioned by ancient authors, its antiquitymight be inferred from a particular emi loyment of it by the Hmdoos. Thearts, manners and customs of these people have remained unchanged fromvery remote times; and such is their predilection for -he religious insti-tutions of their ancestors, that nothing has, and apparent.y rothmg can in-duce them to admit of the slightest change in the ceremonies that perta.nto the worship of their deities: hence the same rites are still performed, » Quoted in Ogilby.s Africa.
