torical poem entitled " Cottingham," of which a 

 part only, extending to 112 octavo pages, was 

 printed. A copy is now in iny possession ; but 

 as the work has not been offered to the public, I 

 shall abstain from making any comment upon it. 

 I have not found that Mr. Haworth appeared 

 before the public, as an author, previously to the 

 year 1794, when he published a volume con- 

 taining about 500 pages, entitled " Observations 

 " on the Genus Mesembryanthemum ;" he after- 

 wards made a communication to the Linnaean 

 Society, which was read on the 1st October* 1799, 

 " On a new Arrangement of the Genus Narcissus." 

 On the 1st December, 1801, he made another 

 communication to the same society, " On a new 

 " Arrangement of the Genus Aloe ; with a Chro- 

 " nological Sketch of the progressive knowledge 

 " of that Genus, and of other Succulent Genera;" 

 which was described, in a contemporary Journal, 

 as being " drawn up with great judgment, on an 

 " actual inspection of the living plants."* These 

 papers are printed in the proceedings of the Lin- 

 naean society .f In 1802, Mr. Haworth published 

 anonymously, his " Prodromus Lepidopterorum 

 " Britannicorum ; a concise catalogue of British 

 " Lepidopterous Insects, with the times and 

 " places of appearance in the winged state ; by 



Imperial Rericw, vol. 4, p. 201. 



f Vol. 5, p. 242 ; and vol. 7, p. 1.
