Fol. 115 He tells me the woman is very careful and vigilant in complying with all your directions. But he himself is so negligent that he has sometimes bepiss’t his Breeches in the day time. I say tis his own negligence, for he is never deny’d leave to go down whenever he asks it.

[fol. 244] Kensington. October: 29th. 1706. Sr. Enquiring at Camden-House, whether it was to be lett, & if so, by whom, I was informd, that the Person, who disposes of it, is Mr. Bertie, an Inhabitant, when at home, in Newport street, he is at present in the Country, but this return thence will be speedily, perhaps to morrow. The yearly Rent paid by the Countess of Burlington was 100tt. The House, as i am assur’d by the keeper thereof, is in good repair, but the Garden much out of Order for want of weeding, & better looking to. I know but of two Houses more that are any thing large, & those in the Square, the one lately inhabited by the Lady Beeston, in which you have often been, & the other by Mr. Bull a Merchant, being the Corner house over against Mr. Weargs, The Rent of the former is 70tt per Ann: & of the latter about 60tt. This is the best account I am able to give you at present; if you think me capable of being serviceable to you in anything further, you may freely command the service of Sr. Your real friend, & faithfull serv’t Charles Seward

Fols. 175-176 I believe an account of the progress of Sir William Thomson’s disorders from the time of his coming hither to its now, almost fatal period, cannot be unacceptable to you, though we both grieve the loss of our best natured men of our acquaintance. I think you were informed of his having voided some blood, both by stool, and vomiting before he left London; His stools continued full of [] blood for three or five days after he came hither, by which, and the foregoing discharges he was reduced to the last degree of weakness. From that time we had no more signs of any Blood in his stools; his chiefe complaint was of an uneasy, sometimes painful sensation in his stomach; everything, tho’ of the lightest kind on Broths, or Panadas lay like a heavy load and still gave fresh cause of complaining. At night he generally told us that he was troubled – things flying before his eyes, which at first he described as black [] after that as red bits of cloth which gradually grew larger and larger till they came to be red spoons. An odd phenomenon which I must leave to be accounted for by persons better skilled in opticks than I am. Perhaps as the whole vascular system, relaxed more, and more larger and larger globules of blood entered the lymphaticks of the retinas and by making percussions similar to those which the light reflected from such external objects, as he seemed to see, would have done, he had the same sensations as he would have had if such objects had really been [] to his virio. But this I fear is a poor conjecture and unphilosophical. In this state he continued a good while, only gradually diminishing in strength, tho’ he took down swiftly quantities of soft liquid food and once or twice a little bread pudding. About a fortnight ago he began to complain of a great dryness in his throat and an uneasiness of swallowing. Soon after the edge of the tip of his tongue grew hairy [?], white and almost transparent, and we did not doubt from all his complainings but that an aphthous crust would creep down the throat and probably pass us a thorough thrush to the anus. We accordingly foresaw that though he now had no stools but from emollient clysters, a diarrhea must soon [?] and be the last act of this fatal tragedy, perhaps from the mouths of the lacteads being covered over with the aphthous crust. About four days since the looseness began and has contined till now, when all the motions of his fluids are within a few hours of quite ceasing. About the time that the tongue grew hairy he began to show the disroder of his mind, descending on the weakness of his bodie; all his delirameata were about [?] processes and other parts of law, and tho’ he would collect all his strength to help himself out of what he saw sometimes to be only an [?] mentis, yet he soon relapsed, and seemed to have struggled to get out of the deep tracks made by a long and constant train of thinking, to as little purpose as a poor hare, just hunted down, [?] to pass a number of large ruts of heavy carriages; she rambles, she staggers and at last sinks in the insuperable burrow! A few hours will put an end to the life of this Gentleman, whose good qualities you were long acquainted with, and for whom I don’t doubt but you had a great regard, as he always expressed the truest esteem for you. I must beg a thousand pardons for troubling you with so long a letter, in which some things are almost [?]; but I know your great candor will excuse a trouble flowing from respect to you, and a dying friend, and by which I meant to show you how much I am…

William Oliver was a physician and qualified as a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in 1692. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1704 and worked at the Royal Hospital at Greenwich from 1709 to 1714. Some of his work was published in the Philosophical Transactions (W. P.

  • Description

    Sir William was in the fatal stage of his illness, according to Oliver. He had 'voided blood' through vomiting and through its presence in his stools. This was accompanied by a painful sensation in his stomach and an inability to digest even the lightest food. Sir William also appeared to be suffering from delirium, although Oliver felt insufficiently qualified to sustain his medical explanation of that diagnosis ('...this I fear is a poor conjecture and unphilosophical'). The patient also complained of dryness in his throat and of having difficulty swallowing; a hairy, white tongue and an aphthous crust forming on the throat and (Oliver conjectured) spreading to the anus. Oliver concluded that the 'disorder of the his mind [was] descending on the weakness of his bodie'.

SIR, – For the Polypodium plumosum, I can tell you

but very little of it, except that it had its name from its leaves being like feathers. Its place of growth, and other things relating to its history, can scarce be told by any in England; for I think it is sent us from Holland, and probably may come to them from the East Indies, though I cannot say that positively. It is a perennial plant, and has ensured this last winter without being either in pot or greenhouse.

I was the other day at Chelsea, and find that the arti-

fices used by Mr. Watts have been very effectual for the preservation of his plants, insomuch, that this severe enough winter has scarce killed any of his fine plants. One thing I much wonder to see that the Cedrus Montis Libani [Pinus Cedrus, Linn.], the inhabitant of a very different climate, should thrive here so well, as, without pot or greenhouse, to be able to propagate itself by layers this spring. Seeds sown last autumn have as yet thriven very well, and are like to hold out. The main artifice I used to them, has been to keep them from the winds, which seem to give a great additional force to the cold to destroy the tender plants.

I have one very perfect leaf of the Japan Camphire

tree, and have likewise some of the root of the Cinnamon tree, with a specimen of the oil and camphire  that is distilled from it. One thing I would acquaint you with about cinnamon is, that a gentlemen of my acquaintance having a great mind to have some of the true oil of cinnamon, he took 12lbs. of it and distilled it in a proper vessel, but had no oil at all. He from thence concluded, that all the cinnamon is divested of some of its most fine particles before any of it comes to us; and, speaking to Mr. Hermans on that subject, I remember he could scarce deny it, although his being a servant to the Dutch East India Company would hinder his telling of that secret, by which they receive so much money.

London, March 7, 1684/5.

Letter destination presumed as Black Notley as Ray’s location in his prior and letter and response to Sloane is Black Notley. Ray was also considered not to have left Black Notley after 1679.

Ther came in alive lately a sperma ceti Whale to Monifreth a small town upon the Coast of Angus the Sperma Ceti was most found in some cellnlds in the head: I gott some of it sent me which did prove very good. I ame inclyned to think this kynd of whale is that which juvenal understood under the name of Balana Breittanica major for that there are as Big Whales of this kinde found in our seas still as of any other kinde & for yt the poet in yt place compareth tho confusethe estate of yt reputed ruch amount ye Romans & heth respect to ye value as well as ye Bigness of yt creature, which upon that account is preferabe to other Whales.
