A Cone of Cedar, said to be from Libanus. A Fragment of the Wood of the Cedar that is indisputably so, being brought from that noted Mount, by Dr. Huntington, and given me by his Nephew, perhaps the Cone may rather be from America, than Lebanon, where very few now remain: A great Traveller is said to have found one there, as big as seven Men could Compass (q)(q) Dr. Brown of Scripture Plants..
