WILLISEL, 
IT is not to the fons of erudition alone, 
that botany is indebted for all its difco- 
veries, and improvements. The love of 
plants has, not unfrequently, feized, with 
uncommon ardour, the minds of many, on 
whom the light of learning had not fhed 
its influence ; and fpurred them on, in the 
purfjit of this knowledge, to attainments 
that have l)een highly beneficial to the fci- 
ence.
