Samuel Purchas

Although this author has no Wikipedia article, he does appear to be a real person. According to WorldCat, he only wrote a couple of things: - A theatre of politicall flying-insects : wherein especially the nature, the vvorth, the vvork, the wonder, and the manner of right-ordering of the bee, is discovered and described : together with discourses, historical, and observations physical concerning them : and in a second part are annexed meditations, and observations theological and moral, in three centuries upon that subject by Samuel Purchas - Spiritual honey from natural hives, or, Meditations and observations on the natural history and habits of bees by Samuel Purchas Be careful not to conflate this author with the much more popular travel author.
