CHAPTER I2» 
Befides the above mentioned, Ge sister 
left five volumes, confifting entirely of 
figures, which, after various viciffitudes, 
became the property of Trew, of Norim* 
berg. Senfible that whether we view the 
extent of Gesner's knowledge and learn- 
ing, or his fingular induftry, fuch muft be 
the veneration for his character, that any 
of his remains muft claim the attention of 
the curious, the poffeffor gratified the pub- 
lic, by the pen of Dr, Schmiedel, with an 
ample fpecimen, publiihed in 1753. 
Thus far for foreigners. The rude icons 
of the Grete Herbal," it has been ob- 
ferved, were evidently copied from thofe in 
the HoRTUS Sanitatis ; for that they 
were not the fame tables, appears from the 
dimini£hed fize. Of the figures in Turner's 
Hiftory, which amount to upwards of 500 ; 
the greater part are thofe of Fuchsius's 
odlavo fet; and the remainder, nearly 100, 
were new, Lyte printed his tranilation 
of DoooENs with Loe, at Antwerp ^ for 
the convenieney of his figures, which are 
alfo borrowed from Fuchsius ; to which 
Lyte added about thirty new ones.
