Pliny the Elder  : [observations and transcriptions from work]

'I am very much obliged to you, for your transcriptions and observations from Pliny; as you say, I should never find time to read the book. What stores of knowledge do I lose, by my incapacity of reading, and by my having used myself to write, till I can do nothing else, nor hardly that'.

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Samuel Richardson      Manuscript: Unknown, transcriptions by Susanna Highmore
