376 APPENDIX 



The poisonous plants of this counfry are very 

 few ; but they are for the most part characteriztd 

 after this manner: so that thcj are known as it 

 were at sight, or \iy the first offer of a trial. 



Thus we sec how yery little can be the danger ot 

 inquiring farther into the virtues of our own 

 plants^ by cxpierinients ; and how useful such an 

 inquiry may be to mankind is sufficiently proved 

 by the matter of the preceding volume. 



What I have written^ is with intent to en- 

 courage some who have opportunities to make 

 the trial ; and for my own part^ I shall not be 

 wanting. What I have already discovered in this 

 way, I am pleased to see makes no inconsiderable 

 addition to the present publication; what I shall 

 discover farther, or learn from the experience of 

 others^ shall have its place in the succeeding edi- 

 tions.
