TO 
DAVID MOORE, PaD., FLS, MBDA, 
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY’S BOTANIC GARDEN, GLASNEVIN. 
Dear Dr. Moors, 
I have great pleasure in dedicating a volume of the 
“ Boranicat Magazine” to one who, whilst maintaining a very rich 
and beautiful Botanical Garden at a high standard of excellence, has 
advanced Botanical Science by many original observations and expe- 
riments. 
I further gladly embrace this opportunity of testifying to the 
value of your contributions to the British and especially the Irish 
Flora, which you have enriched by the discovery of many new and 
interesting indigenous plants; by the publication, with Mr. A. Moore, 
of the “Cybele Hibernica,” and by your “ Synopsis of Irish Mosses.” 
Believe me, 
Dear Dr. Moore, 
Very faithfully yours, 
JOS. D. HOOKER.
