NOBLE VENETIAN,
O f the Manners o f the M o r l a c c h i .
TH O U GH I am deprived, by my diitance from Venice, of
the honour I formerly enjoyed o f being often near you>
and can but feldom find opportunities o f fending you letters by
fea, yet I muft not negledt to write to you by fuch occafions
as prefent themfelves, however precarious. Your Excellency
will probably receive this letter a long time hence j but I am
fully perfuaded, that, whenever it reaches your hands, it will
meet with a gracious reception, in confequence o f the friendship
which you have condefcSnded to honour me with, and the plea-
fure with which you conftantly receive every intelligence that
tends to promote the progrefs o f natural hiftory, and the fciences
in general.
You
