together, the Sum will be the total Product of the Muhipli- different Direflion; as if rhev came from feveral Points «<>»». as in the following Example; which may ferve as a And thus the fame Point is feen in feveral imaginary by any Aliquant Part that may Foci; and therefore appears Multiply'd.

The Proof of Multiplication, is, by dividing the Product, orFa&um, by the firil Factor, or Multiplicand; if the Quotient be equal to the fecond Factor, or Multiplicator, the Operation is juft.

Croft Multiplication, otherwife call'd Duodecimal Arithmetic, is a very expeditious Method of Multiplying things of feveral Species, or Denominations, by others like- wife of different Species, &c. E. gr. Shillings and Pence by Shillings and Pence; Feet and Inches by' Feet and In- ches, much ufed in Mcafuring, &c. The Method is thus.

Suppofe 5 Feet 3 Inches to be multiplied by 2 Feet 4 Inches; fay, 2 times 5 Feet is 10 Feet, and 2 times 3 is 6 Inches : Again, 4tivnes 5 is 20 Inches, or 1 Foot 8 Inches, and 4 times 3 is 12 Parts, or one Inch $ the whole Sum makes 12 Feet 3 Inches.

In -the fame manner may you manage Shil- lings and Pence, ci?c.

MULTITUDE, Multitudo, an Affemblage, or Colkaion ol a great Number of Things, or Perfons; or more flnflly, Multitude is the Abttracf whereby things are' faid to be many.

In which Scnfe Multitude may be conlider'd as Number. See Number.

Multitude is oppofed to Unity. See Unity. In Law, fome will have Multitude to imply at lead ten Perfons; but Sir Edit: Coke fays, he could never find it reitrain'd by the common Law to any certain Number but always left to the Dilcretion of the Judges.

A MULTO Fortiori, or i minor e ad majus, is an Argu- ment often ufed by Littleton. The force of it is thus : If it be fo in a Feoffment pafling a new Right; much more is it for the Kettitution of an antient Right. Coke on Little- ton, fol. 253.

Multiplication, in Geometry, or in Lines, is effec- ted by fuppofing a Line a b (Tab. Geomet. Fig. 9.) cal- led the Defcribent, moving perpendicularly along ano- ther b c.

For by this means the Defcribent forms the Rectangle adebi and if it be divided together with the DirireOT into any Number of equal Parts, will'

many little Reaangles as the Units in the uclcrioent and

Dirigent will produce when multiply'd into one another; Birch x Pound, Carduus Benedicts 3 Handfuls, Flower of

MULTIPLYING, the producing of one's like. See Production.

Mankind multiply'd at a prodigious Rate before the Flood, (fee Peopling.) Rabbits, Fifh, and moft Infects multiply incredibly. The fingle Milt of a Cod, examin'd with M. Leevienboeck's Microfcope, was found to contain more Ova than there are Animals on the Face of the Earth. See Insect, &c.

M. Dodart has feveral Difcourfes on the Multiplication of Plants in the Memoirs of the Royal Academy of Sciences. He has examin'd the Beech-Tree particulatly with this view, and found it to furpafs all Imagination. See Foecundity

Multiplying, in Arithmetic, is the finding a Number which contains the Multiplicand as often as there are Units in the Multiplier. See Multiplicand, &c

Mummy is faid to have been firft brought into ufe in Me- dicine by the Malice of a Jeviifi Phyfician, who wrote that Flefh thus Embalmed was good for the Cure of divers Difeafes, and particularly Bruifes, to prevent the Blood's gathering and coagulating. The Turks prevent the Export of Mummy into Europe as much as poffible.

Properly fpcaling, Mummy is not the Flefti of the De- ceafed, but the Compofition wherewith it is embalmed; but in common ufe Mummy is alfo ufed for the Body.

Thete are two kinds of Bodies call'd by the Term Mummy.

The firft are only Carcaffes, dried by the Heat of rV Sun, and by that means kept from Putrefuaion; f-e~ quently found in the dry Sands of Lybia. Some fav they ate the Boiies of deceafed People buried there on purp'ofe to keep 'em entire without Embalming; others that they are the Carcaffes of Travellers, iSc over-whelm'd with Clouds of Sand rais'd by the Hurricanes frequent in thole Defarts Be that as it will, thefe Mummies are of no ufe in Medii
