II. — The Fig Tree. The fig tree is evidently a native of that part of Asia, where the garden of Eden is generally said to have been situated, as it is the only tree particularly named in those passages of the Bible, which relate to the creation and fall of man. ' And they sowed jig leaves together and made themselves aprons.^ It is a fruit that appears to have been highly esteemed by the Israelites, who brought figs out of the land of Canaan, when they were sent by Moses to ascertain the produ...ce of that country. The fig tree is often mentioned both in the Old and the New Testament, in a manner to induce us to conclude that it formed a principal part of the food of the Syrian nation. In the twentyfifth chapter of the first book of Samuel, we read, that when Abigail went to meet David, to appease him for the affront given by Nabal h€r husband, she took with her, among other provisions, a present of two hundred cakes of figs. When Lycurgus banished luxury from Sparta, and obliged the Spartan men to dine in one common hall, to enforce the practice of temperance and sobriety, every one was obliged to send thither his provisions monthly, which consisted of about one bushel of flour, eight measures of wine, five pounds of cheese, and two pounds and a half of figs.
