"The Uffenbach brothers are in The Hague visiting Jean Aymon. Aymon shows his collection of 200 rare plants and herbs. Aymon tells them these formerly belonged to the collection of professor Hermann, while the rest he had sold to the King of Prussia. Uffenbach recalls that Hermann's widow had told him that she had sold everything to said King, and Uffenbach suspects Aymon handled malafide. Aymon shows them a book in folio included accurate copper engravings of plants "after life"."
