The narrative of Thevenot's first journey to the Ea^'

 of these two volumes has been respectably performed. 



Thcvenot possessed a natural talent for obscn ation, and 



the power of itoly and unaf-

his notice : his manner of tolling his story impresses the

s accurate. He had collected a Hortus Siecni in 



India, and had laid beside each specimen an account of 



the habitat and characteristics of tho plant, along with its 



name in the Portuguese, Persian, Malabar, and (what his 



biographer term* the Indian and Haitian languages. This 



collection came into the possession of Melohiscdee The've- 



not, and is mentioned in the printed catalogue of his 



library. Jean Thcvenot had also made a collect:
