THE Author in his Preface tells us, that Phyficians. 
have been obliged of late very much to enlarge 
their Enquiries, beyond what in times paft was cuftoma- 
ry with them: So that it is now required of them not 
only to make a more exad Search into the Myfteries of 
the Parts and Humours of Humane Bodies by Anatomy 
into Cofmetics, they being frequently adviied with cn^ 
their ufes, but alfo to remedy the Body even after 
Death, by teaching to embalm and preferve the fame 
Amongft theft Studies is the knowledge of Exotick 
Plants, which has receiv'd very ccnfiderable Acceffions 
by Phyfitians and Apothecaries, whom Necefiity for- 
cing. to the knowledge of the parts of their own, and 
Exotic Plants in common and ordinary ufe, they are 
thereby help'd to judge of the Virtues of ethers of th? 
fame kind coming from abroad : And teeing this Study 
is very large, thole who are addicted to it ought to be 
very thankful to any, who by their provident Care and 
Charges furniih their Gardens with the moft elegant 
Plants of Afia, Africa, America^ or diftant places of 
Europe, amongft which this Garden of Strasbourg our 
Author gives the Catalogue of, is one. 
He publifhes this Catalogue on two Accounts ; the

Commerce between the Author and thofe who keep
