(And don't worry about it, no offense taken whatsoever and you were probably correct - in which case I claim poetic lie-sense. ;-) Though apparently, tinning did come into wide use (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_food#Tinning) about the same time William Pratt was alive and well and living in London - doesn't say anything specific about pineapples, though.)
