For My Part, I Wish All Well, And He That Has Received
Any Severe Dealings From The Magistrate Or His Superiours,
Had Best Examine Himself Well, If He Was Not First In The Fault; If So,
Then He Can Justly Blame None But Himself For What Has Happen'd To Him.
Having thus gone thro' the Insects, as in the Table, except the Eel-Snake,
(so call'd, though very improperly,
Because he is nothing but a Loach,
that sucks, and cannot bite, as the Snakes do.) He is very large,
commonly sixteen Inches, or a Foot and half long; having all the Properties
that other Loaches have, and dwells in Pools and Waters, as they do.
Notwithstanding, we have the same Loach as you have, in Bigness.
This is all that at present I shall mention, touching the Insects,
and so go on to give an Account of the Fowls and Birds,
that are properly found in Carolina, which are these.
