PREFACE OF THE AUTHOR. 
The botanical gardens in France, England, Spain, &c. are all 
arranged according to the direftions pointed out in the Lin- 
n^an method. The two keepers of that of Madrid have 
published after it the following work : Curso elemental de Bo - 
tanica, theorico y practico, dispuesto para la ensenanza del Real 
jfai dm Botamco de Madrid, de orden del Rey, nueslro senor , por e 
Dr. D. Casimiro Gomez de Ortega^ D. Adtonio Palau 
y Verdera Catedi aticos primer o y segundo delmismo Jar din, 
Madrid, en la imprenta Real, 1785. II. tom. 8 maj. The 
Termini Botanici of Dr. Gieseke, at Hamburgh, have like- 
wise been used with advantage in the above work. A similar 
course of Ieftures, according to the Linnean method, has 
since appeared at Parma, and is the produftion of Dr. Gio van 
Bapt. Cnatteri. 
The L innean Society at Leipsig was founded by 
Professor Ludwig on the 31st of January, 1789. The Lite- 
rary Journal of that city, written in German by Professor 
Eck, and published in 1792, gives farther particulars respeft- 
ing the constitutions of that society.
