Other letters accompany this account, from Dr. Pearfon, 
Mr. John Horner, and Mr. G. F,. Lawrence, which prove 
the quality to be equal to the belt foreign opium. The 
committee of chemiftry, to whole examination the Eng¬ 
lilh opium, prepared by Mr. Jones, was referred by the 
Society, ordered famples of it to be left with feveral emi¬ 
nent cbemi its for their analyfis and judgment; in con¬ 
fluence of which, the following preparations were laid 
before the committee by thole gentlemen, viz. Extraft 
of Englilh. opium in proof fpirit. Hard extract of Eng- 
lifn opium. Watery extract of Englilh opium of the late 
Difpenfatory. Tincture of Englilh opium of the prefent 
Pharmacopceia. Tinfture of Englilli opium of the late 
Difpenfatory, Englilh opium powdered. Similar pre¬ 
parations of fine foreign opium were produced in com- 
parifcn ; and, from the general refult of thefe experiments, 
it appears, that Mr. Jones’s Englilli opium is equal in 
quality to fine foreign opium; and the certainty of its 
growth in this country, preparation, and efficacy, fairly 
ellablilhed. Tran /'. of the Sue. of Arts, vol. xviii.

PAP'EBROCII (Daniel), a learned Flemifh Jefuit, 
was a native of Antwerp, where he was born in the year 
1628. When he was eighteen years of age, he com- 
P A P 359 
menced his noviciate among the Jefuits; and, after he had 
completed his lludies, acquired no little reputation by 
the luccefs with which, during fifteen years, he taught 
the belles-lettres, and after that time philofophy. From 
this employment he was taken to be affociated with fa¬ 
thers Bollandus and Henfchenius in the laborious work 
of compiling the “ A< 5 ta Sandlorum ;” and he accompa¬ 
nied the latter in his travels through Italy, France, and 
Germany, in order to colled! materials for that volumi¬ 
nous undertaking. He publilhed, jointly with Henfche¬ 
nius, the three volumes for the month of March, in 1668 ; 
three other volumes, for the month of April, in 1675; 
and the three firft volumes for the month of May, in 
1680. After this, Henfchenius being difabled from pro¬ 
ceeding with the defign by a paralytic attack, the princi¬ 
pal labour and condudt of it devolved upon Papebroch, 
who continued his labours on the fame work till his 
death, in 1714, when he was in the eigbty-feventh year of 
his age. The volumes of that work on which he was em¬ 
ployed, amount to forty-feven in number, of a large folio 
fize, and are confidered to be the moft corredt and judi¬ 
cious in that vaft compilation ; as he had been careful to 
exclude many of the abfurd legendary tales in the Mar- 
tyrologies, Lives of the Saints, &c. from which they were 
compiled. Father Papebroch was alio the author of, a.
