PREFACE. xiii 



the work here given to the public is professedly an 

 extract of the Linnaean doctrines, it was thought 

 that the figures he had himself selected, would, 

 upon the whole, come the nearest to his own mean- 

 ing, and be of the greatest help in explaining 

 it. 



The Glossary, which is an addition to this 

 Work, contains many new terms of art, not in 

 the former editions, collected from the works of 

 Doctor Linnaeus, that have been published since the 

 INTRODUCTION to BOTANY made its first appear- 

 ance. 



There is likewise added to this edition a systematic 

 arrangement and explanation of botanic terms,.
