In connection with Dr. Jackson’s enquiry (p. 67) as to the 
identity of the “ ingenious and worthy Gentleman,” to whom Lee 
in his Introduction to Botany acknowledges his ee 
reference may be made to a note fen Dr. J. E. Gray, which 
Botanica of Linn s for his friend Mr. Lee, whose book first intro- 
duced the Swedish botanist S salah writings to English readers. 
The great Gray family of naturalists was descended from 
Samuel ite (b. 1694), a seedsman and importer of roots carrying 
on business in Pall Mall. His youngest son was war 
History and Antiquities in the British Museu “ his sta 
son, who bore his father’s name and was sngancd n the 
business, but little is known. He was et aa of donsiderable 
scientific knowledge, and it was he who, as has been noted above, 
assisted Lee in the dompoeition of his maa at Me Botany. 
He died before the birth of his son Samuel Frederick Gray, in 
1766, and Lee’s “ worthy gentleman” is referred to in i thie second 
Ny 
edition of his work (1783) as “the late’’—circumstances which 
support the view that Samuel Ging e younger, is the pe bi - 
Lee’s remarks, and that he died in 1765. Samuel Gray’s pre 
ture death may have decided Lee to republish the Tuttoduotéon 
3. (1776), which occupies the ee of the missing pages in this 
edition. The “Glossary” is obviously cee n aah Berkenhout’s 
Botanical Lexicon, published in the previou 
e's Introduction was the first ork i in English to present 
botanists with the Linnean classification, so 8. F. Gray’s Natural 
rrangement (1821) was the pioneer in oe country of the 
classification of Jussieu. Several notes have been written 
associating various members : the Gray family in the caesar 
of the latter work, but 8. F. Gray must be regarded as 
responsible author. A note in ‘the Kew pe, for 1894 (p. 76) 
states that it “had apparently been begun by his father”: this 
might readily apply to the introductory matter, bik hardly to the 
6 dearest ace F. G. WILTSHEAR.
