xxxii INTRODUCTION. 



Monfieur Bulliard, in a work now publishing _ in Paris, entitled 

 Champignon de la France, has in a great number of very beautful and 

 elegant figures difplayed, in a moft fuperior manner, the Fungi of that 

 kingdom. 



In the works of Jacquin, — in the Flora Danica, — and in the excel- 

 lent work of our own countryman, Mr. William Curtis, entitled Flora 

 Londinenfis, now publifhing in numbers, in folio, — are given, interfperfed 

 with other plants, many accurate figures and defcriptions of FungufTes : 

 So that we may hope in time to fay, That this extenfive branch of 

 Natural Hiflory, is no longer a Chaos, or a Shame to the Science of 

 Botany. 



It may not be improper here to remark, that in all the Copies of this 

 Wofk which have been or will be fold, Coloured, the Plates are taken off on 

 the befl Royal Paper, either Royal Writing, or what is called Wove or 

 Vellum Paper ; but in all Copies that have been or will be fold, Uncoloured, 

 they are taken off' on an inferior Paper, the fame with that of the Letter- 

 Prejs. 



Stannary, near Halifax, 

 December 12, 1789.
