ADDRESS. 
On completing the First Volume of the Flora Medica 
we conceive it a paramount duty, to return unfeigned 
thanks to our Subscribers, and to the Profession at 
large, for the countenance and encouragement which 
they have bestowed upon our arduous undertaking. 
In commencing our labours emolument was not 
our object, but a desire to furnish the Profession with 
a scientific and standard work on Medical Botany, 
in as small a compass as possible and at a price 
hitherto unprecedented. 
How far we have succeeded in our endeavours is 
best shewn by the high patronage, and the numerous 
flattering testimonials which have already been 
bestowed upon the work ; and these proofs that our 
efforts have been attended with some success, afford 
us the highest gratification which we can possibly 
receive.
