 Summer, when they are fully 

 grown and after having dried them 

 in the Sun, they burn them for their

 Glafs and Soap. Thefe Herbs are, 

 by the Country-people, call'd Kelp ; 

 and are promifcuoufly gather'd for 

 Ufe. 



From the Allies of thefe Plants is 

 extracted the Salt, called Sal Kali, 

 or Alkali, which is much ufed by 

 the Chemifts. 



The manner of gathering and 

 burning of thefe Herbs is already 

 mention'd under the Article of Kali ; 

 fo I mall not repeat it in this Place. 



In fome Parts of England thefe 

 Herbs are gather'd and pickled for 

 Samphire, though it is very different 

 from either of thefe.

 a great Number of mountain Wil-

 and are cultivated as Under-wood, 

 in many Parts of England. 



The firft Sort here mention'd is 

 the common white Willow, which
