ter of 1791-5, the neglectful and opprobrious fact of Miller's 

 having no single grave-stone, much less a monument, nor 

 even one funeral line, to designate the spot where rested in 

 its ' narrow house' the mortal relics of so great a man ; sec 

 my Observations on the Genus Mesembryanthemum, p. 311- 

 14; and, as every reader may not possess that publication, 

 the following extract from it is added : — 



" * So much for Miller; he, alas! who pleased so well, or, 

 rather let me say, he who instructed and edified so much, 

 and was even caressed by the great while living, now lies, 

 forgotten by his friends, inhumed amongst the common un- 

 distinguished dead, in the bleak cold yard of Chelsea church, 

 the very theatre of his best actions, the physic gardens of 

 the Worshipful Company of Apothecaries, at Chelsea, not 

 half a mile distant, without a tomb ! without a stone ! nay, 

 destitute of a single line to mark the spot where rests, retired 

 from all its cares and useful toils, the time-worn frame of the 

 ' Prince of Horticulture !' How are those discerning fo- 

 reigners, who so meritoriously rendered the language of his 

 Dictionary into their own, to judge of this? by what measure 

 are they to estimate the fact? Miller was the author of seve- 

 ral publications, besides the very numerous editions of his 

 Dictionary and Kalendar.' Yours, &c.

Sir John Hill. His works are many of them enumerated 

 in the Encyclo. of Gardening. The most full list is in Wes- 

 ton's Catalogue. His portrait is engraved in metz by Hous- 

 ton, from after Coates. It is an oval, with a solitaire. A 

 short account of his life and writings was published at Edin- 

 burgh in 1779. The most general account of him is in Hut- 

 chinson's Biog. Medica. 2 vols. 8vo. See also the Biog. 

 Dramatica, 2nd edit. 1782.
