Miller, Philip (cont.) 
Brit. Mus., Roy, Agr, Soc., and Bib, Nat. Pa¬ 
ris give the 2d vol, in one entry together with 
1st ed,, 1731; Rothamsted gives it with 2d ed. 
of v,l. Preface to Martyn's ed,, 1807, v,l,p, 
iii, says that the additional volume usually ac¬ 
companies 4th ed,, 1743, "In the preface Mr, Mil¬ 
ler informs us, that he had published (1735) a 
small Appendix of plants omitted in the former 
editions of the Dictionary; which appendix is 
not bound up with any copies of the third or 
fourth editions, Mr, Miller remarks that there 
was little demand for it, few persons caring to 
purchase such a small piece, consisting only of 
five sheets, after their books were bound ,,, 
Having therefore abundant materials such as no¬ 
tices of many new plants; observations and ex¬ 
periments in agriculture; catalogues and other 
matters, he was induced to publish all together 
as a second volume, and thus to complete his gen¬ 
eral design, without depreciating the former edi¬ 
tions,"

the author, 1740, F®, (Dept, Agr,; Arn. Arb,; Lindley 
Lib.) 
5th ed., cor, Dublin, 1741, F®, (Arn, Arb.) 
Pritzel, ed.l and ed,2, gives a 4th ed,, "Lon¬ 
don (Dublin) 1741;" and Haller, 2:220, following 
G, L, Huth, translator of the German version of 
1750-58, notes an ed. of Dublin, 1741, Martyn, 
1807 ed,, pref., v.l, p.iii, in his comments on 
Miller’s 6th ed,, 1752, refers to the "piratical 
edition ,,, published at Dublin, joining the two 
volumes in one alphabet." It seems strange that 
a 4th ed,, much less a 5th, should have been pub¬ 
lished prior to the 4th ed, of 1743; but these 
unauthorized Dublin editions may have been num¬ 
bered quite illogically,

(Am, Arb,; Lindley Lib.) 
J, Kyrle Fletcher, Cat, 49 (1935), item 177, 
offered a copy of the 4th ed,, 1743, in 2 vols# 
See preface of 1807 ed,, v.l, p.iii: "The pro¬ 
posed additional volume had in the meantime 
been published, and usually accompanies this 
edition." The entries of Arn, Arb, and Lindley 
Lib,, however, both treat the 2d volume and 4th 
ed, as distinct works.
