cHap. x.] Draws upon his Savings-bank. 189 
It was a great blow to him to sell a portion of his second 
collection. But he had no help for it. It was his only 
savings-bank. When other means failed him, he could only 
rely upon it. He had no friends in his neighborhood to 
help him. His specimens went to many places, far and 
near. A considerable portion of them went to Haslar, near 
Southampton, where one of the hospital surgeons was mak- 
ing a collection of objects in natural history.
