Synopsis
Excerpt from The Analyst, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Journal, of Science, Literature, Natural History, and the Fine Arts
So great was the admiration of these extraordinary novelties, that many of them were purloined by the curious visitors, to the no small vexation of their learned proprietor. When I returned, says Dr. Sloane, from Jamaica, I brought with me a collection of dried specimens of some very strange plants, which excited the curi osity of the people who loved things of that nature to see them, and who were welcome, till I observed some so very curious as to desire to carry part of them privately home with them, and injure what they left. This made me upon my guard with them.
