 feven volumes folio^ except a fmall fupplement, 

 which was not publifhed until 1757. i7^9> 

 the editor rendered his work ftill more ufeful, by 

 the publication of an alphabetical index to thefe 

 volumes, with the Linn^an fynonyms together 

 with a like one adapted to the Hortus Malaba- 

 ricus. 



The pupils of the Linn^an fchool much re- 

 gretted, that the Herbarium Amhoinenfe had not been 

 completed before the publication of Linn^^^us's 

 Species Plant arum^ that the fynonyms might have 

 been introduced. To remedy this defedt was the 

 intention of Mr. Stickman's-ipaptr^ in which the fub- 

 jedts are arranged in the order of the original work, 

 with the Linn^an name annexed to each ; and 

 afterwards, as many as could be extricated, are 

 thrown into a Flcra^ according to the Sexual fyftem/ 



It is to our neighbours the Butch that the bo- 

 tanifts are obliged for two of the moft valuable 

 performances that are yet extant in the hiftory of 

 foreign vegetables : this of Rurfiphius^ and the 

 Hortus Malabaricus of Rheede, But we hope that 

 it will not be long before they will be more indebted 

 to an illuftrious Englijhrmn^ who, in purfuit of the 

 fame objed, has encountered the perils of a cir- 

 cuit round this globe, for a v/ork, which, from 

 his tafte, his liberality, and zeal for the promo- 

 tion of fcience, may be expeded to furpafs thofe 

 above-mentioned, as well in extent, as in gran- 

 deur, and elegance of execution.
