Second Volume. 
ST Oe Atittory publith’d, and at the 
RAO fame time the gteateft Part of the Plates belong- : 
iaGie980 Ing to this Volume were engraved. The firft Part’ 
met with a Reception in thefe Kingdoms and 
Foreisn Countries-much beyond my Expeétation, confider- 
seenteTNe Bock was publith’d in Englifh, ‘and beroeg 
very earneft Solicitation from many People, for whomr | have 
_ avery great Regard, to publifh this Second, which hath been 
delay’d chiefly by a multiplicity of Bufinefs in the Practice 
of Phyfick, which I efteem one of my firft Cares, and muft 
be minded, if the Lives of Perfons be regarded, with due 
Attention to the feveral Symptoms and Changes of their 
Difeafes. This hath occafion’d many Interruptions and 
Faults of many kinds in this Work. ‘The putting into 
fome kind of Order my Curiofities, numbring them, and 
entring their Names, and Accounts receiv’d with them, in 
Books,which was neceflary in Order to their Prefervation and 
Ufes, hath taken me up fome of the Time I have had to 
{pare from the exercife of my Profeffion ; and becaufe fome 
People have reprefented me carelefs and negligent, in not 
giving this fecond Volume fooner, I think it proper in my 
own Juftification to acquaint the Reader, that I have entered 
into Books, and numbred thefe natural and artificial Things 
following. |
