156 NATURAL HISTORY OF SELBORNE 



Bro : in Thames-street as usual. It will not be in my 

 power to meet you in London at present, because I have a 

 call that obliges me to go an other way. 



Pray present my humble respects to M r - Banks, & tell 

 him I heartily congratulate him on his safe return from his 

 astonishing voyage ! The world expects great Information 

 from his discoveries during his circumnavigation. My 

 respects also wait on M r - Barrington, & thanks for his letter 

 from Beaumaris. 



After returning you my acknowledgements for your 

 present of the curious old Rondeletius de fiscibus, I remain, 



with great esteem 



Your much obliged, & 

 Humble Servant, 

 GIL : WHITE.]
