Widi maoy additional Remarks by LV.FeUon^ of theRoyal Society, 
Tills Work is none of the lead Specimens of Modern Mag- 
siifisence and ImproTemenc in the Hiflory of Nature^ which 
though Hie opens daily fuch Mines and Treafures, yet is never 
Jike to be exhauded. The An of Qalcografhy has given to 
thefe Studies a new (brt of Life and Perfpicuity; the Besuty 
and Graces whereof^ have drawn many Illufirious Perlons 
abroad, into a kind of Emulation who lliould excel in this 
Noble and molt ufeful Ornament: What the Enghjh vjmt 
in this Part, they have made up in their Critical Methods in 
their Difcoveries of Non Defcrift Specks^ and in their judicious 
References to the Synonimous Names of various Writers^ 
whereby the terrible Vices of Confufion and Maltipiiciry have 
been very much corrected. For this I need name no more 
than a Worthy Member ef the Royal Society, who has been pleased 
to fiiew luch an admirable Skill and Talent this Way^ as will 
hardly be match'd either in paft, prefent, or future Ages. 
The Authors of this Garden have here dejcribed and ele- 
gantly Figured above a Hundred feveral Plants, which take in 
order, with the Illuftrations of many ^^&\nonz\ Synonima^ not 
mentioned by the Curiam Puhlijhers.
