230 THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 
shall offer much in addition to what is contained in the Monograph, 
& therefore I shall not appear to offer anything original there 
if it is not known that I contributed pretty largely to the Monog. 
I have several times been afraid that you would be displeased 
with the course I have adopted—but I could not bear to see your 
memoir published in its imperfect state, especially when I had 
the materials for much increasing its value. You will see how 
many species I have added from Richard[son]’s appendix to Frank- 
lin’s [64] Narrative & from other sources.—These will make up for 
the species which have been omitted. The latter comprehends 
all such, concerning which there was the least doubt. You of 
course will add some or all of these, if you differ from me in your 
opinion respecting them. I do not say that they are not all new 
species—but that it is better to reexamine them with all the 
additional knowledge we at present possess. 
This evening I finished the index to the Monog. It contains 
descriptions of 114 species—all of which I think are very distinct. 
Mr. Halsey has probably furnished you with a copy of No. X. of 
the Annals, & also what sheets are finished of No. XI. If not you 
shall have them without delay. I wish you would send a little note 
to be placed at the end of the work,|*] stating that it is to be con- 
sidered as our joint production, & to be quoted as such—I beg you 
would not misunderstand me My Dear Sir,—the reason I am so 
anxious on this subject is chiefly that I do not wish to have it 
thought, by those who use my Flora, that I have collected no 
original materials on the subject of the Carices. 
*[At the end of the monograph (Ann. Lyc. N. Y. 1: 374) was printed | this 
note: 
“ Since the return of Mr. De SCHWEINITz to hi ti t he Committee 
of Publication have been favoured with the orri note by Aik gentleman, 
which they deem it proper should accompany the Monograph. 
“The Monograph of the Carices, in its present ae differs so essentially 
from the unfinished materials, which, on my departure for Europe, I confided to my 
friend Dr. TORREY, with a request to make such use of them as he deemed proper, 
in the authorship of the work. am anxious, therefore, that the Monograph 
sho 
uld be considered and quoted in all respects, as the joint production of DR- 
TORREY and myself. 
ETHLEHEM, Penn. Dec. 20, 1825."']
