I raay perhaps be mistaken in several, but thus I guess at
first sight, of Plants I have not seen. I was no less pleased with
your Animals, they are all curious and surprising, but my time
was not sufficient to analyse them all though I picked out several.
I doubt if any other Reader can peruse this work of your
with with greater delight and admiration Every thing you have
noted concerning the obscure Gharacters of the American Plants,
and which were never to be learned before but from Plumiers
observations; I have corrected in my book, that whenever it is
reprinted, you will see I have carefully followed your instructions.
I would give any thing could 1 one day or other be with you,
too see your dried Plants, and to give the all a nice Inspection
and therough examination.
But since thesse Wishes of mine are in vain, 1 earnestly beg
the Favour of you to spare me a dried Specimen of those you
have in greater plenty.
What you have delivered concerning the spigelia aigainst
worms, is very wonderfull, since the like never was met with in
the medical art; for which alone you ough to be honoured with
a Golden Statue.
