| 520 | _a"New-England's Rarities Discovered: In Birds, Beasts, Fishes, Serpents, and Plants" by John Josselyn is a natural history account written in the late 17th century. This work details Josselyn's observations from his explorations in New England, specifically focusing on the diverse wildlife and plants he encountered, along with their medicinal uses as noted by the indigenous peoples. The book serves as one of the earliest comprehensive examinations of New England's natural history, blending scientific inquiry with personal narrative. At the start of the text, the author introduces himself and describes his journey from London to Boston and Black Point, where he spent significant time documenting the region's flora and fauna. He paints a vivid picture of the landscape, noting the mountainous terrains, the varied climates, and the unique animals and plants that thrive in this new environment. The opening also hints at the cultural interactions he had, especially with the Native Americans who also utilized these resources for their medicinal practices. It sets the stage for a blend of scientific observation with anecdotal accounts of Josselyn's experiences and the knowledge shared with him by the local inhabitants.
