TO THE PUBLIC 



The applications for "Sweet's Hortus Britannicus" 

 having been so numerous and incessant, and the inconvenience 

 (not to say distress) represented to be so generally felt from 

 the want of it, especially among the Profession, that it has 

 been thought advisable, in some measure to remedy it, to 

 deviate from the original intention of publishing the whole in 

 One Volume, to the present of Two Parts. 



This mode, it is apprehended, will not be without its advan- 

 tages, and which must be too evident to need particularizing, 

 further than the few weeks gained by this arrangement will 

 enable the Author to form an " Addenda" of those Plants 

 which have become known too late for incorporation among 

 their proper Orders, besides some alterations in the arrange- 

 ment of some of the Genera, &c. that has been obtained from 

 Publications procured since the printing of the First Part, 

 thereby rendering the Work as complete as is possible. 



The Second Part will appear in a few weeks.
