PLANTS AND PERNS OF ST. JOHN'S, BERKLY, SOUTH-

The remark of Dr. Macbride to Professor Ives, to the effect, that we should 

 only obtain a knowledge of the natural productions of the country, when literary 

 and philosophical societies shall record the observations, and secure the local 

 Flora's, prepared by accurate examiners." — Preface to Eaton's Botany, 1th J. 



\Y e shall not here speak of the advantages attending the study 

 either of General or Medical Botany, but only observe, that to 

 the inquirer in this department, complete catalogues of the plants 

 of circumscribed localities are not merely useful by determining 

 the habitat and range of species, but acquire additional value 

 from the fact that they diminish labor. Performing for each lo- 

 cality what Elliott's sketch did for the State at latere, they enable 

 the student to confine himself with the same advantage and at 

 the expense of less time and trouble to a limited Dumber. With- 

 out being compelled to search throughout the numerous species 

 of a compendious North American Botany, he has only to notice 

 those of whose existence he is already advised. And thus they 

 contribute more rapidly to develope the natural resources around 

 him. We have endeavored to ally this one more closely to me- 

 dicine, and render it not without interest to physicians generally,
