Miller, Philip (cent,) 
- 5th ed* 1748* (Martyn in Miller’s Gardeners 
dictionary, 1807, pref,, v,l, p.iii) 
Pritzel in both ed,l and ed«2, gives a 5th 
ed*, London, 1747, folio* Martyn says (l*c.): 
"The Fifth edition of MDCCLXVIII I have never 
seen; but I have reason to think that it does 
not differ in any respect from the Fourth." 
The only copy known to the present bibliog¬ 
rapher was one owned by the late Dr. E*L,Greene, 
now presumably in the library of Notre Dame Uni¬ 
versity. It was incomplete, lacking the title- 
page and almost all of the index, but was sup¬ 
posed by Dr. Greene to be a veritable copy of 
the 5th ed, noted by Pritzel, It was not com¬ 
pared in detail with the previous ed, (MFVf) 
—Wherein all the articles contained in the former 
editions of this work, in two volumes, are disposed in one 
alphabet: with the addition of a great number of pleuits. 
The 6th ed,; carefully rev., and adapted to the present 
practice, London, Printed for the author, 1752, F", 
(Dept, Agr.; Am. Arb,; Greene; Mo, Bot, Gard,; Brit, 
Mus,; Brit, Mus, Nat. Hist,; Lindley Lib,; Bib, Nat, 
Paris) 
"The Sixth may be considered as the first com¬ 
plete edition of the Dictionary, 
"In a preface of six pages the author apolo¬ 
gizes for the numerous alterations in this from 
former editions, and the considerable additions 
which are made to it, rendering the preceding 
ones of inferior value, which he had been hith¬ 
erto studious to avoid, by keeping the improve¬ 
ments distinct: but now he was in a manner 
obliged to combine them, because a piratical 
edition had been published at Dublin, joining 
the two volumes in one alphabet; and translations 
had been made into several modern languages, pos¬ 
sessing the same advantage," — pref, 1807 ed., 
v.l,p.iii.
