Evelyn is at Paris, 1644: "I took coach and went to see the famous Jardin Royal, which is an enclosure walled in, consisting of all varieties of ground for planting and culture of medical simples. It is well chosen, having in it hills, meadows, wood and upland, natural and artificial, and is richly stored with exotic plants. In the middle of the parterre is a fair fountain. There is a very fine house, chapel, laboratory, orangery, and other accommodations for the president, who is always one of the king's chief physicians." Wycherley writes to Pope, N. s. 1707: "As often as fevers and agues attend the best constitutions from the worst air; so does that malignant air of calumny soonest attack the sound and elevated in mind, as storms of wind the tallest and most fruitful trees; whilst the low and weak for bowing and moving to and fro are secured from the violence of the tempest."
