Was formerly the residence of the Dukes of Montague: it is now the
national museum for every kind of curiosity. Indeed, they are so
various, both natural and artificial, that it would require a very large
book to give even a very short account of them. Here are such a
multitude of animals of all kinds, birds, beasts, fishes, shells,
butterflies, insects, books both ancient and modern, precious stones,
medals, &c. that, in fact, the only way to form an idea of them, is to
see them.
