The PREFACE. 



The engraving of one plant only on each plate has been another objection which fome have ftrongly urged, while 

 others have in as warm terms tefKfied their approbation of it. It may be proper to mention, that whether one or more 

 had been engraven on a plate, the difference in the expence would have been trifling, and chiefly in the paper : as they 

 now are, each is difHncl, and every one is at liberty to place them according to that fyftem which he moft 

 approves of. 



The want of figures of reference to the plates, or letter-prefs, has been perhaps a more folid objection ; 

 but the Author hopes, that by the ufe of the indexes defcribed below, this alfo will be obviated. 



Having now, fo far as he can recollecl:, anfwered every thing deferving the name of an objection, he willingly 

 fubmits his performance to the judgment of a candid and impartial public ; confcious of having ufed his belt 

 endeavours to be ferviceable in his department. 



XJfes of the Indexes, with Directions for Binding, 



In the firft Index the plants are placed according to the Syftem of Linn^us, with which it is prefumed, 

 the greater!: part of his fubfcribers are beft acquainted* To find out any plant, even though the perfon 

 be not acquainted with this mode of arrangement, look in the alphabetical Englifh or Latin Index, and you 

 will find the figures correfponding with them as placed in the book: if for example I want to find Ivy, 

 I look for it in Index, No. 3, where the Englifh names are alphabetically arranged, and find it to be the 16 

 plate, as there are 72 plates in each Fafciculus, lean readily guefs within a few plates where it is placed : to 

 thofe who have been accuftomed to look out plants in Linnjeus's works it will come eafier ; but if each. 

 fubicriber will take the fmall pains of figuring the plates with a black lead pencil, any plant may then be im- 

 mediately referred to. The Author could not hit on any mode more eligible, confident with the irregular 

 order in which he has been obliged to publifh his plants. 



With every third Fafciculus will be given a general and more copious Index, with a GlofTary of the technical 

 terms ufed in the work. 



He would recommend to his fubfcribers, that each Fafciculus containing twelve numbers, be bound in boards, 

 and not cut at the edges ; the plates to be placed In the fame order in which they occur in the firjl Index ; taking 

 care that each plate be put oppofite to the letter-prefs belonging to it, with a leaf of thin paper betwixt them. 

 If any mould be at a lofs to have them properly done, they will be pleafed to fend them to Raham Reepe'Sy 

 Bookbinder, in Crooked Lane, near the Monument, who binds the Author's. 



N. B. It may be neceffary to caution the Bookbinder againft beating the Numbers, as that operation would 

 probably deftroy the beauty of the plates.
