With the exception of M. Duhamel du Monceau, no pomologist of the
sixteenth or seventeenth century mentioned this pear. Henri Manger
writing in 1783, thought it identical with the "_pira Tiberiana_," a
variety which Pliny tells us was a favorite with the Emperor Tiberius.
Fruit medium, globular, obtuse-pyriform, darkish yellow, dotted with
fine gray spots, always washed with rose on the side next the sun;
flesh whitish, a little coarse, gritty around the core, full of rich,
sugary juice; second; Oct to Dec.

According to Leroy this variety was grown in France in the middle of
the seventeenth century, its grafts having been brought from England.
Fruit medium, oblong-obovate-pyriform, pale yellow, spotted with fawn
and slightly washed with red; flesh white, semi-fine, melting, rather
gritty around the core, juicy, sugary, with a sweet and agreeable
flavor; a good kitchen pear; Dec. to Mar.

Downing _Fr. Trees Am._ 661. 1869.
This variety was raised from seed in 1832 at Paris by Edouard Sageret.
It appeared first under the name _Angleterre parfumée_ and was so
published in 1835, but for some reason was renamed. Fruit rather above
than below medium, turbinate, obtuse, swelled and always more enlarged
on one side than on the other; skin rough to the touch, dull green,
uniformly dotted with clear russet; flesh whitish, fine, breaking,
gritty at the center; juice abundant, fresh, sweet, with a musky savor;
first; Sept. and Oct.
