PREFACE. 
v 
I have added, by way of Supplement, 
a few Plants upon which my Author 
has been lilent ; and have likewife ad- 
joined the Hiftory of others, with us 
properly reckoned Exoticks, which he 
has treated of as domeftick Plants ; be- 
caufe, to furnifh a more uniform Ac- 
count of them, I have been obliged to 
alter his Method, and to borrow from 
other Writers on Botany. 
Moreover, the Editor of the Latin Copy 
of this Treatife has made many Addi- 
tions to it under the Direction of M. 
Bernard de JeuJfteu^ a curious Natural- 
ift; and thefe Additions being fome- 
times very pertinent to the Subject of 
our Inquiry, feveral of them are in- 
ferted in the following Sheets, and, to 
diftinguifh them, are included between 
Crochets, as in the Original. 
Having now premifed a fummary 
View of what is done ; it may perhaps 
be expe&ed that fomething fhould like- 
wife be faid, before we conclude, relat- 
ing to the learned Phylician from whole 
A 3 Writings
