His remarks on the vegetable kingdom are just, and 
what he says on Terminology, and on the genera of 
plants, is done quite in the manner of Linné. Had 
his works been better known, and had he been 
situated more favourably for acting more at large, 
Botany would perhaps have advanced at his time as 
far as it is now actually advanced.

travels through Great Britain, France, Germany, 
Sweden, and Italy, he paid great attention to all 
natural productions. He was a clergyman, and be-
