[SIR JOSEPH BANKS] - This is to Give Notice, that Robert Toyne of Harrington has been appointed by Sir Joeph Banks, to destroy these Vermin, under the superintendence of Mr. Showler of Revesby...

Horncastle: printed at Wear's Office, c. 1800. Following the planting of rabbits in the area to the great disadvantage of farmers, but probably to the advantage of poor countrymen who trapped and killed them for food, Robert Toyne"...has Sir Joseph's permission to use Terriers, Finders, Lurchers, Traps, Ferrets, Nets, and all other lawful devices> and has undertaken to extirpate the Rabbets, provided he can obtain proper assistance from the occupiers of the Lands now infested with them." Joseph Banks [1743 - 1820], botanist, naturalist, patron of the natural sciences, inherited the Revesby Estate on the death of his father in 1761 and divided his time between Lincolnshire and his mother's house in Chelsea, and later at his own home in Soho Square.
