preface:. 
grefs of fome Vines at Kelinarfh in Northamptonfhire, during 
the courfe of laft fummer, as inferted in p. 76. 
The Rev. Mr. Philip Laurents has laid me under an obli- 
gation, by favouring me with an elegant accounjt of an exten- 
five Vine now growing at St. Edmundfbury in Suffolk, p. 179. 
My kindeft acknowledgments are due to my much-efieemed, 
worthy, and truly ingenious friend Haman Rooke, Efq; for 
his elegant perfpedtive to the plate of the fedlion of a hill for 
the growth of Vines in England. 
I am alfo particularly indebted to my much-honoured and 
learned friend, the Rev. Dr. Kaye, Dean of Lincoln, for the 
elegant drawing of an enormous Vine, now growing at North- 
allerton in Yorkfhire, taken fome years ago, when that fur- 
prifing tree was in a flourifhing ftate, by the corre<fl: and inimi- 
table hand of Mr. Grimm. 
I wifh to convey to Mr. Bafire my acknowledgment of the 
accuracy and elegance of the engravings executed by him, and 
which make an ufeful and ornamental part of this work. 
Lahly, my mofl grateful acknowledgments are due to my 
very excellent, worthy, and truly-learned friend Dr. A. Hunter. 
H is obliging and afliduous attention to 'the work during the 
time it was in the prefs, has greatly contributed towards ren- 
dering it more worthy of the public approbation.
