Salmon. 185 
Pechey, M. D. fellow of the college of 
phyficians/' 8°. 1694 reprinted at Am^ 
jierdam the fame year, and in 1707. The 
defcriptions, which are fhort, are takea 
from Ray's hiftory ; the virtues from a 
variety of authors. The natural places of 
growth of the Englifh plants are fpecified ; 
but the author betrays his want of botani- 
cal knowledge, by enumerating feveral in- 
digenous as exotic plants. Pechey was 
the firft who introduced into ufe the cafu^ 
munar ; of which he is faid to have made a 
fecret, and confidered it as a corredlor of the 
Peruvian bark. 
In the fame year was publiflied, Phi« 
tOEOTANOLOGiA: f, Hijlorta Vegetabiliuni 
facra-y or, A Scriptural Herbal. By William 
Westmacott/' 8% 1694. Not having 
feen this volume I can give no further ac- 
count of it.
