Book Description
Excerpt from The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports, Vol. 2: With Illustrations William Bartram, in answer to Joseph Banks' propo sal, says, that there are not over five hundred species of plants altogether in the provinces of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, West and East Florida, and Georgia, which, at one shilling each, amounts only to 25 - supposing every thing acceptable. It has taken him two years to search only part of the two last pro vinces, and finds by experience it cannot be done with to lerable conveniency for less than 100 a year, therefore it cannot reasonably be expected that he can accept the offer.
