[16] Sir Joseph Banks shewed me a slip of paper which he got from an
Italian gentleman, made, if I remember, of a cyperus found in the river
or lake of Thrasymene. I do not recollect the process, but the paper
itself was infinitely superior to any I had seen attempted, and seemed
to possess a great portion of flexibility, and was more likely to
answer the purposes of paper than even the old Egyptian, if it had been
dressed up and finished.
