. 34 Mr ' LambertV Anecdotes of the late Dr. Patrick Browne. 



Pultney's View of Linnseus I have not feen, and Wjfll you would 

 fend it to me: I will get one of our carriers to call for it foon, and 

 will be obliged to you to alter fuch Englifh names as you fee pro- 

 per. As to the Irifh, if ever you print it, put the Irilh in Italicks 

 only. I wrote them as much to the pronunciation of the Iriffi as 

 I could, but not according to the Irifh orthography, which I could 

 not find ,n any book. Faddo^pipe is undoubtedly the proper name 

 of the Hippuns. I do not think the addition of rujh proper to any 

 name, and the method of adding a fhort character to the different 

 genera (as in Linnams's Syjiema) beft, as in Martyn's of Cambridre 

 You mention the title-page : I think you ought not to publifh more 

 than a defign of printing a Flora Hibernica, if fuch a thin? could 

 be completed and of giving a Catalogue, in the cheapen, manner 

 poffible, of fuch plants as have been colletted for fuch an under- 

 taking, with the Englifh and Irifh names, keeping the defcriptions 

 and remarks for a capital work. As to Theirlheld and K. Eogh's I 

 have had them, and think nothing of them. I loft all my books 

 a few years ago : I had about 200 botanical books, and now I have 

 only the Genera & Species Plantarum of Linnsus, with a copy 

 - of Ray s Synopfis in a Linnasan drefs, which was the amufement 

 of iome time to me fome years paft. Lord Lucan promifed to fend 

 me another copy of Dill, and Ray's Synopfis. If you couId f J 



>n getting any other additions, fo as to undertake a general Flora 

 H.bermca >t I five and am able to ftir I (hall give you what afnftance 

 I can in the manufcript you have, which you may keep. Liguficum 

 ScoUcnm of that MS. is the Smyrnium Olufatrum. 



"I have made out a Catalogue of our Agarics, for which this 

 Jaft feafon was very favourable, and it amounts to eighteen or more • 

 but I have not this by me." '
