The corpus discussed consists of correspondence between John Bartram and Peter Collinson, and between Alexander Garden and John Ellis. The approach used in the study is qualitative and rhetorical; the main point considered is how the letters construct scientific centre and periphery in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world. A central concept is the "colonial exchange", whereby "raw materials" from the colonies - in this case plant and animal specimens, along with proposed identifications and names - are exchanged for "finished products", in this case codified scientific knowledge contained in publications. 410 0$aBenjamins current topics. 606 $aLetters 606 $aLetter writing 615 0$aLetters. 615 0$aLetter writing. 676 $a806.6 701 $aNevalainen$b Terttu$0518328 701 $aTanskanen$b Sanna-Kaisa$01594592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814759403321 996 $aLetter writing$94105014 997 $aUNINA
