Hernandez (Francisco) — continued. 
This is Ibe work of Hernandez unabridged, but witbout engravings. It is 
entirely taken up -with (be Historia Plantarum Novae Hispaniae, containing 
the Mexican names of tbe plants, with the latin equivalents. — Eames. 
This edition is not to be compared with tbe work of Dr. Ricci. This is more 
of Hernaudi s without bis editors, more correct, -with many additions, but with- 
out aiiy illustrations. Hernandes, the celebrated naturalist, was sent to New 
Spain by Philip the Second about 1595, where he spent seven years in active 
research into the natural history of the country, and returned to Europe with an 
herbarium, tbe very richness and magnitude of which overwhelmed the men of 
science. A part of Ibe oriuinal collection was burnt with the library of the 
Escurial iu 1671.— Stecens's Bih. Hist., 1870, pp. 76, 226. 
The natural history of Dr. Hernandez gives evidence [of the copiousness of 
the Aztec language], iu which are described twelve hundred dift'ereut species of 
Mexican plants, two hundred or more species of birds, and a large number of 
quadrupeds, reptiles, insects, and metals, each of which is given its proper name 
in the Mexican language. — Bancroft's Native Saces, vol. 3, p. 728.
