John Tradescant, the Younger (4 Aug 1608 [bap.] - 22 Apr 1662)

In his list and notes on early modern collectors, Emanuel Mendes da Costa notes with surprise that Charles de l'Écluse in his Exoticorum libri decem mentions Sir Francis Drake as a collector and "curious person", but not Raleigh, Bacon, or the Tradescants. For his own part, da Costa provides this citation: "John Tradescant; for an account of him, his tomb, &c. &c. see Philosophical Transactions, vol. LXIII. pp. 1. 79, art. 12, by Dr. Andrew Ducarel" (205).
