A Pirate of Exquisite Mind

I checked the above mentioned biography of William Dampier a few months ago, and foolishly, I forgot to copy down the pharmacopia listed in one of the appendices. Does anyone have a copy of the book that they can scan those pages for me, or know of an online resource of the list? ) I'm looking in your direction, Mission...)

I've got an event - a PAYING one - this coming week, and I've found a stash of empty jars that I would like to fill with botanicals standing-in for the real thing.

My copy has no appendices, and a cursory review yielded no list of botanicals.

I'll happily look again if you can give me further information as to where in the book you recall this.

I did check the index for botan* and medicine but, again, found nothing responsive to your request.

sorry, it was the Joan Druett book about Sea Surgeons, whose name escapes me right now.
