became so general, that at Paris alone they

In England, Coffee had been somewhat 
earlier introduced; for, in 1652, Mr. Daniel 
Edwards, a Turkey merchant, brought home 
with him Pasqua Rossee, a Ragusian Greek 
servant, who first kept a house for the sale of 
this beverage in George Yard, Lombard Street ; 
or, rather, according to Mr. Houghton, in a 
•shed in the church-yard of St. Michael's, Corn- 
hill. The famous Dr. Harvey is said to have 
used it frequently still earlier. 
About the year 1690, the Dutch governor of 
Batavia, having procured some berries frorn 
Mocha, raised many plants, and sent one over 
to the garden at Amsterdam. From these, it 
is said, the East Indies, and most of the gar- 
dens in Europe, have been originally furnished* 
In 1696, it was cultivated at Fulham, by 
Bishop Compton. 
The first plant of the Coffee-Tree was car- 
ried to Jamaica about the year 1730,. by Sir 
Nicholas Laws ; and twenty-two years after- 
wards ?
