Sherards herbarium enriched by Dillenius and given by J. 

 Sibthorp to the Oxford physic garden, I consulted for one genus 

 but was greatly disappointed to find that the collectors had in no. 

 instance that I observd noted whence the specimens were obtained, 

 in which respect the Linnaean herbarium also is very deficient.

SoJto garden N. of Birmingham on siliceous sand and gravel, 

 cultivated by Boulton partner of Watt in the manufacture of 

 Watts improved steam engine. Hither resorted on the Sunday 

 nearest the full moon Jas. Watt engineer and fellow labourer with 

 Black on latent heat, and who as well as Mrs. W. collected plants 

 in Cornwal, Jas. Kier translator of Macquers chemical dictionary, 

 Erasmus Darwin author of Zoonomia (a work which would be 

 oftener consulted if it had an index to vols, and p.p.) and 

 Phytologia, and who in conjunction with Boothby author of 

 fables and Jackson the printer of the work, planned and published 

 a translation of Linnaeuss gen. plant, and syst. veg. in 3 vols. 8vo, *

 Turtonof Stafford planned, and which he afterwards executed, the

 Cook round the world, and others cultivated in Kew Chelsea 

 Upton and Islington gardens, whose specific cliaracters are given

* This translation, entitled The Families of Plants (1787), seems to have 

 been made by Jackson, a self-taught proctor in Lichfield Cathedral under the 

 editorial supervision of Erasmus Darwin and Su- Brooke Boothby, and these 

 three were the only members of the Lichtield Botanical Society. (Anna Seward, 

 Memoirs of Dr. Dnricin, pp. 98-100.) It was, in fact, published in four volumes 

 as 'A System of Vegetables.' By a Botanical Society at Lichfield. Lichfield, 

 1783 (2 vols.), and ' The Families of Plants ' (2 vols.) 1787.
