Moreover, they love fetid urinous collections, also that foul liquid of dung, according to the different kinds of dung, of oxen, sheep or human. And, as I told those who are still present, it is not far from the truth to say that they dwell in such ponds, and they are delighted merely with the idea of dung. It is because they are among those who are in the lowest degree corporeal, that they seem to live in such ponds. 1748, Mar. 6.
