An Inkhorn from Moscow very curiously painted and gilt; as is also the Pen which is made of a Reed. Don. D. An. Banks. Another of Brass with Flowers, inscribed, I was in Sheffield made, and many can, witness I was not made by any Man. (Ellen Ellis fecit.) Two Indian Pencils fixed in Reeds seven Inches long. Don. D. Hum. Wanley. Two Indian Pictures of the same Dimension, very well painted and gilt upon their Paper. Different Sorts of Paper from very distant Parts of the World. A coarse Sort of yellow Paper from China, perhaps that made of the Tree Bambu or Cio, a paler yellow, but somewhat finer; a Lemon Colour finer than either: Red Paper and Blew; but the finest of all is that made of Cotton. Samples also of the ancient German, Venetian, Italianand French Paper, from 1470 to 1500; and of the English some Centuries before. Modern Paper from Venice, Rome, Constantinople, &c. An entire sheet of fine white transparent Paper from India; in Length a Yard, and near a Foot, though scarce two Foot broad. Don. D. Ju. Dickenson. Some of the Indian Paper is writ upon, which gives me the Occasion of mentioning the different Characters of several Nations.
