"Annie is now well and plays about with the other children as if nothing had happened." Harris refers to a Kentucky woman, a mother at ten years, one in Massachusetts a mother at ten years, eight months, and seventeen days, and one in Philadelphia at eleven years and three months.

The first case was one of infantile precocity, the other belonging to a much later period, the menstrual function having been established but a few months prior to conception.

All these girls had well-developed pelves, large mammae, and the general marks of womanhood, and bore living children.

It has been remarked of 3 very markedly precocious cases of pregnancy that one was the daughter of very humble parents, one born in an almshouse, and the other raised by her mother in a house of prostitution.

The only significance of this statement is the greater amount of vice and opportunity for precocious sexual intercourse to which they were exposed; doubtless similar cases under more favorable conditions would never be recognized as such.
The instance in the Journal decavans is reiterated in 1775, which is but such a repetition as is found all through medical literature--"new friends with old faces," as it were.
