Excerpt from An Introduction to Botany: Containing an Explanation of the Theory of That Science, Extracted From the Works of Linnaeus

Though the study' of Botany is of late years he come a very general amusement in this country, there has yet appeared no work in our own lan guage, that professedly treats of the elements of that science; it is therefore hoped, that what is now of fered to the Public, if it shall appear to have been carefully executed, will be considered as a perfor mance of some utility. The matter it contains, or at least the far greater part of it, will probably be new to the English reader, for thdugh some 'few explanations of the same kind may be found. Inter. Spersed in larger works, these are for the most part too costly to fall into many hands; nor could the reader expect to find therein the whole of what he seeks, the explaining the theory of the science not having been the immediate object of those publica tions.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Botany: Containing an Explanation of the Theory of That Science, Extracted From the Works of Linnaeus

It is incumbent on the Publisher to shew in what respects the present Edition has a better claim to public favour than any of the former.

Every Edition of this Work, for these last thirty years, has been servilely copied from the Second Edition; notwithstanding the great improvement which the science of Botany has received during that period by the accession of new Genera, and the different arrangement of the Orders, in every Class, and their subdivisions. These, in this Edition have been carefully attended to, and it is hoped, accurately inserted.

In the Appendix, instead of the Generic name only, the trivial name in many of the species has been added, and a great number of new English names, chiefly of West India plants given, for which the Editor is indebted to a very eminent Botanist. A few errors that had maintained their places in all the former Editions, have also been carefully corrected, and some improvements occasionally introduced into the text, which it would be tedious to specify here.
