BART. MoRisoN had the advantage of 
powerful patronage. He was hberally en- 
couraged by the uniyerfity, and enabled to 
embellifli his work v^^ith a numerous fet 
of tables, on which are eng-raven about 
3384 plants. The figures are chiefly co- 
pied from other authors. The new figures 
occur principally in the latter part of this 
work, and are therefore to be attributed to 
the care of Bobart. The fix tables of 
Mqff'es^ Fuciy Corallines, and C orals , at the 
end, are, except the few wooden puts of Ge- 
rard, the firft of the kind graved in Ejig- 
landy and have great merit as the produc- 
tions of that time. All thofe of Columna 
and CoRNUTus are copied in this work, 
Thofe engraved by Burghers excel the reft 5 
and the figures of the grailes and molles are 
incomparably beyond any other that are ta 
be met with, on the fame fcale j the habit 
being admirably well expreffed. The re- 
publication of thefc tables, v/ith references 
to LiNNiEus's writings, would, even at 
this period, be a benefit to the fcience.
