liiftoiy. The Englifh tranflator added about 
thirty new ones. Among thefe, feveral are 
in a ftyle fuperior to thofe of Clusius and 
Gerard 3 fuch are particularly, the Salvia 
JEthiops ; the Stratiotes abides ; the Rha, 
or Centaurea Rhaponticim j and others. 
Some are original : I cite only the Erica 
Tetralixy of which I find no figure prior to 
Lytes ; that of Gerard (or^ vvhich is the 
fame, of Clujius) applied to it by John- 
son, being certainly intended to reprefent 
another fpecies, and is accordingly referred 
to the Mediterranea by Linn^us. 
The firft edition of Lyte is adorned with 
a finely -cut impreflion in wood of Dodo- 
ENS, in the thirty-fifth year of his age; 
and a large engraving of Mr. hyte% coat 
of arms. 
This firft edition was undoubtedly printed 
at Antwerp i to receive the advantage of the 
figures. The fubfequent editions, there- 
fore, afterv/ards printed in Ejigland, are 
without figures. It was reprinted, as Ames 
informs us, in 1586, and in 15953 and, 
according to Wood, by Niiiion Newton y at 
London, in 1 589, in quarto alfo, without 
cuts.
