We have received from Provence, says the New Duhamel, a 

 Robine pear, which differs a little from the one just described, 

 not in respect to the size and form which are decidedly the same,

 when the fruit is at perfect maturity, and even when it becomes 

 soft. Duhamel in the original edition, when speaking of the 

 Robine pear, says that it does not readily become soft and 

 decay.

This is a fruit of moderate size, of an oblong and somewhat

 breadth ; the head is quite round, and the eye is placed even 

 with the extremity ; the stem is large, from nine to twelve lines 

 in length, and rises obliquely from a small cavity ; the skin is

 surface and touched in some places with russet ; the flesh is 

 melting, rich and sweet, and the fruit is ripe during the month 

 of August.
