Carex fulva. 1 left veritable specimens with the 
Linnean Society of all stages of its growth. Iwas 
the first who ascertained Lightfoot’s C. tomentosa 
to be the fliformis of Linneus, which I suppose 
you did not recollect. I begged the Queen to let 
me examine her herbarium for this purpose. 
I augur from the arrival of peace at last, (Oh 
that it may last!) that natural history in particu- 
lar will raise its head. We shall meet folks whom 
we have not seen for years, and of course shall have 
much to tell, and so much to ask that we shall 
never have done. I hope we shall keep the lead in 
science, as we have undoubtedly in naval glory. I 
dread, however, the introduction of revolutionary 
principles ; as you have often heard me say, “my 
nerves will not shake till the peace comes.” 
Senda body alittle natural history news. I have 
little food here, but I love it as much as ever. 
Yours ever, 
S. GOODENOUGH. 
From the same. 
My dear Sir, Deanery, Rochester, Nov. 3, 1802. 
I was very sorry to hear, when I was appointed 
to the Deanery of Rochester, under what a severe 
affliction you were labouring. To that I attributed 
my not hearing from you, and to that you must 
attribute my not writing to you aletter which I was 
assured you could not read. It would gratify me 
very much to have a proof that you have shaken 
off your holy adversary St. Anthony.
