96 SOME AMERICAN MEDICAL BOTANISTS 



Concerning the Internal Organization of Marine 

 Hospitals, and afterwards a Vegetable Materia 

 Medica of the United States, 2 vols, in i, 1817- 

 1818, with fifty plates, drawn and colored by 

 the author. Following this, a Compendium 

 Florae Philadelphicae, 2 vols., iBiB. 



While he was Professor of Natural Medicine 

 and Botany at Jefferson Medical College, he pub- 

 lished his Outlines of Lectures delivered there 

 (1827), and during the same time his Flora of 

 North America, 1821. 



A mere list of his writings fails to do justice 

 to the wonderful amount of work done by Bar- 

 ton. It would be interesting to know more about 

 the books, and about the writer as an artist, but 

 details are scanty.
