never to put out any Thing which is 
not as perfeSi as is pofftble for me to 
make it, I wifh you. would take a lit- 
tle Pains this Summer about Grajfes, 
that fo we might compare Notes ; for 
I would fain clear and complete their 
Hiftory. 1 mtend this Summer to 
travel farther ^ either Northward or 
Weftward., or both,, in quefl of Plants 
and Pipes.

were partly drawn up by Mr. IVil- 
lughby and Mr. Ray., who were the 
beft able- of any- Men living for fuch 
an Undertaking : But yet, when they 
had done it,. I find they- were not 
well plealed with it, thinking it im- 
. perfect, and capable of great Amend- 
ments; which they afterwards gave 
it, in their Hiftories of Plants and 
Animals. -But it is not at ail to be
