Manuscripts
A treatise, perhaps intended for publication, on fish and the British commercial fishing industry, chiefly in the Baltic and the North Sea, but also including references to New England, Pennsylvania, and the Black and Caspian seas. There are: lengthy sections devoted to Colchester (England) oyster beds, worldwide sturgeon fishing, whaling, cod, and herring; a discussion of plans for an underwater lantern as described by Denis Papin; and a glossary of fishing terms in Dutch, German, English, and Latin. According to the dealer's catalog the anonymous author was probably the Eastland Company merchant John Scarlett.
