PREFACE. XV 



doubts about the publication of bis ; but 

 upon farther co?tfideration^ he was deter- 

 mined to add it to the Kalendar^ as the 

 fubjeSi is treated differently^ a7td only 

 the more effential parts of the Linncean 

 fyfiem are here explained^ the whole being 

 C07nprifed in fo fnall a compafs^ as to 

 enhance the price of the book but little : 

 and for the benefit of thofcy who ' are al- 

 ready poffeffed of either of the former edi- 

 tions of the Gardners Kalendar^ this 

 fmall traEi is printed feparately^ and 

 may be pur chafed by thofe who ate de-^ 

 frous to have it. 



As the author has beejt careful in the 

 revifeng the whole work^ and injerting of 

 the neceffary additions aiid alteration^ 

 made i7i this impreffo?t^ he hopes it will 

 m^et with the^ like favourable reception 

 from the publick^ as the former editions 

 have done^ and for which he thi?iks he 

 ca7tnot better tefify his gratitude to tha> 

 pub lick ^ than by endeavouring topro7notey 

 to the ut7noft of his abilities'^ the ujeful 

 art of Garde72i?ig.
