Abstract
In 1716 Montesquieu judged an essay contest on the subject "What is the Use of the Adrenal Glands". Some of the theories advanced were such as "to hold up the stomach, to dilute the urine, to collect the humidities which leak out of the great vessels surrounding them", and so on. Montesquieu decided none of the essays deserved a prize, awarded none.
