Summary

Although many have written amply of the nature, forms, and habits of many animals to us unknown, and of the trees and fruits of the East Indies; nevertheless, having seen and known them so thoroughly and for so long, and having handled them not once but countless times, and having lived upon them, I have felt myself constrained to put in writing the results of my long experience, assuring myself that none, perhaps, will have observed their nature with the same particularity.
