‘I envy you your situation within two miles of an Erupting Volcano you will easily guess I read your Letters with that Kind of Fidgetty anziety which continuously upbraids me for not being in a similar Situation I envy you I pity myself I blame myself & then begin to tumble over my Dried Plants in hopes to put such wishes out of my head which now I am tied by the leg to an armchair I must with diligence suppress’

Joseph Banks to William Hamilton, 4 December 1778
