eminent for his knowledge of botany ; but 
better known as a writer on the moll im- 
portant part of the fcience, its application 
to the purpofes of phyfic I am not fur- 
nifhed with any anecdotes concerning this 
refpeclable writer, further than, that he 
pradlifed as an apothecary at BraintreCy 
imtil about the year 1730^ about which
