The resolution of the Lyceum to prepare a Catalogue- of 

 the Plants growing in this Neighborhood, was passed May 5th, 

 1817. Dr. C. W. Eddy, Mr. D'Jurco V. Knevels, and my- 

 self, were appointed a Committee to carry the resolution into 

 effect. And although the following pages were reported as early 

 as December 22, 1817, unavoidable obstacles have delayed its 

 publication until the present time.
