8 NATURAL HISTORY OF SELBORNE 



[I should now proceed to answer, as well as I am able, 

 those queries which you put in y r obliging letter of July 

 last ; and to make some remarks on Mr. Forster's transla- 

 tion of Osbeck's voyage, which my brother left in my hands 

 for the greatest part of the summer : but as these matters 

 would greatly exceed the limits of this paper, they must be 

 deferred till I have the satisfaction of writing to you again. 

 I am, with the greatest esteem, 



Your most obedient servant, 



GIL : WHITE.]
