By these principles, peculiarly his own, he was enabled often to accomplish great actions with small comparative means."

The health of sailors is a short section, but on page 236 the author recommends keeping root vegetables in sand and fruit as juice "I am very certain, that the juices of fruits, as Oranges, Lemons, and Apples, might be boil'd to the consistence of a thick syrup or Rob, and preserved in proper vessels for any given times, so that a spoonful or more of it might occasionally be taken, dissolved in water, with very good effect, as a preservative against the bad consequences of such an animal diet as I have above taken notice of." Rare; ESTC locates 3 copies in the UK (BL; Durham; Wellcome) and 3 further copies in North America (Society of Cincinnati; National Library of Medicine; University of Illinois).
