Watfon. 303 
Mr. Watson paid the fame tribute, ia 
175 1, to the memory of Dr. Henry Gomp- 
TON, Bifhop of Lo72dony the friend and pa- ' 
tron of Mr. Ray, as he had done to that 
of the Tr ADESCANTs ; and gives a lift of 
33 exotic trees, which were then remaining 
in the garden at Fulham. From this cata- 
Jogue may be inferred, not only the original 
fplendour of the garden, and the zeal and 
tafte the Biiliop iliewed in the cultivation of 
fuch numerous curiofities, but the facility 
with which trees of very different latitudes 
may become naturalized in E?2gland (/). 
In the fame volume, page 301, we find 
"'An Account of the Cinnamon Tree;" 
occalioned by a large fpecimen, equal in 
fize to a walking cane, fent over by Mr. 
Robins to Dr. Letherland, and which 
was exhibited to the infpeftion of the Royal 
Society. From this i\ccount we learn, that 
three Cinnamon Trees, which were intend- 
ed to have been fent to Ja?naicay were grow- 
ing in the garden of Hampton CouYt in the 
reign of King William.
