Vill PR EE Eos Oe 
With refpect to the prefent edition, fubfequent information 
has enabled me to enlarge it with fome important additions. 
Since the period of the original publication, the Tea-tree has 
been introduced into many of our gardens, and afforded the 
means of afcertaining its botanical characters. I have, at the 
fame time, the pleafure to obferve, that the firft edition has 
received the approbation of fome of the moft diftinguifhed 
botanifts. Linnzeus, as well as Haller, as foon as they had perufed 
it, conveyed to me their approbation, in the kindeft manner: 
- Murray and Cullen, and recently Schreber, have made frequent 
references to its authorities. _ If thefe diftinguifhed characters 
have approved the former, I am encouraged to hope that the 
: prefent edition will not be lefs favourably received by the 
~ publick. a :
