"Two individuals, male and female...must be Mutually employed, and Influenced with the oestrum, for the propagation of a third....The primordium of life, which is secreted by the male testes, and emitted by their ejaculatory ducts through the male organ into that of the female, propelled with sufficient velocity to reach the part to which nature has ordained it a specific stimulus; its vivifying principle, either in the form of a fluid or subtle aura, by harmony or consent of parts, with the concurring action of each, becomes conveyed to one or more ova, originally placed in the ovaria, which it pervades and impregnates with its wonderful principle; but how, or in what manner, the most celebrated physiologists have been unable to satisfactorily explain.”
