Enough has already been said as to How's pubHcation of 

 Lobel's Illustrationes in order to attack Parkinson, whilst the 

 above shows that he is not to be credited with any new Essex 

 records.^' 



In chronological succession the next work containing Essex 

 records is Robert Turner's Botanologia, published in 1664. But 

 little is known about this writer. He was born at Holshott and 

 educated at the university of Cambridge.-^ and between 1654 ^^"^ 

 1664 published nine works, mostly astrological. Portraits of 

 him are prefixed to some of his works, and he describes himself 

 as " Botanologiae Studiosus." The title of his herbal is 

 Botanologia. The Brittish Physician ; or, The Nature and Vertues of 

 English Plants ; exactly describing such as gvow naturally in the land, 

 with their several names, Greek, Latin, or English; natures, places 

 where they flouvish, and are most proper to be gathered ; their degrees of 

 temperature, applications, and vertues, physical and astrological uses 

 treated of.
