iv EPISTLE DEDICATORY.
whose scientific researches have justly obtained for her the character of the first female Botanist in the wide circle of the British Dominions, a character still farther embellifhed by the display of every domestic and relative Virtue, this Vo- lume, chiefly designed for the amusement and instruction of that sex, which boasts YOUR MAJESTY as it’s most distinguished Ornament, is humbly dedi- cated by
Madam, Your MAJESTY’S Most devoted,.
Most dutiful And obedient Servant,
Bedford, Nov. 2oth» 179S.
Wh E N, in pursuit of his favorite Amusement, the Botanist ranges with eager step amid the wild scenery of nature to pluck some simple flowret that has hitherto escaped observation, the World, disdainful of his hum- ble Toil, marks him as a sort of phaenomenon whose extravagant and erring Spirit wanders from the common track of human Life without any rational end or object. — But whatever branch of Science is the source of entertain- ment or instruction has it’s use and importance ; and the study of Botany exhibits to our view a succession of wonders, which tend to enlarge our knowledge and to heighten oUr admiration of the works of nature, and more especially of the Power Wisdom and Goodness of their omnipotent Author:
Those are thy glorious Works, Parent of Good ” !
Such reflections ought surely to awe the cavil- ler into silence, v/hilst they induce the candid to spread the broad shield of public protection over the labours of the Botanist. — Impressed
with
%vith these sentiments the fiiir daughters of Air bion have evinced a zeal and ardour in Botani- cal researches which have not only done the the highest honor to themselves, but have eminently contributed to rescue these pursuits from unmerited reproach, to elevate them into reputation, and to impart to them, if not a superior value, at least a superior currency and fashion. — That such excellence should have been attained in this branch of science by so many of the female sex, notwithstanding the disadvantages they labour under from the want of scholastic and technical instruction, is a convincing proof of the liberality with which Nature has endowed the female mind : and how little reason there is to suppose that their intel- lectual are from any other cause than want of cultivation, in any degree inferior to their personal accomplishments. In the work now before the public, although the technical terms are in a great measure softened and Anglicized, the Author has by no means the presumption ( like some of his more adventurous cotempo- raries ) to attempt to new>model the Linnxan System, than which for the extension of Bota- nical knowledge, no other oi better foundation can possibly be laid. — The several Universi- ties of Oxford and Cambridge are indebted to the indefatigable researches of men of eminence and Icarniug for the exhibition of their respec- tive Floras. — The present publication forms

a connecting link between the two, compre- hendino- an extensive district in the very center of England, where the G O D D E S S has scattered her beauties with the gayest and most partial profusion. — Nor is it from a transient or careless view of this delightful tract that the following work is composed. — Many of the specimens have been brought into his own garden, where under the constant superintend- ing care of a fair Associate, ( whose assistance it would be injustice not gratefully to acknow- ledge ) their various properties and manner of growth have been daily and hourly presented to his observation. — To the same amiable and interesting partner of his pursuits and labours he is also indebted for the preparation of an H ERBARTUM, the admiration of all who have knowledge and judgment to discern it’s superi- or beauty and excellence. — But this is only one of the innumerable obligations, for which he is proud to acknowledge himself indebted to her assiduity and attachment. — To the Rev. T. Martyn, Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge, his thanks are due for an able and candid revision of his work, the XXIVth. Class excepted. - — To the Right Honorable the Countess of Upper- OssoRY, for the very generous occasional loan of books from her Ladyship’s collection : and lastly, since a late mournful event forbids the public exhibition of his thanks, he deems

it both his duty and his pride thus. to acknow- ledge the constant and free access he has had to the valuable and well-furnished Library of his late regretted friend Thomas Vaux, Esq. of Bedford. — Upon the whole the author submits his work to the public with unfeigned respect and diffidence ; and he hopes the Linnaean Society, of which he has the honor to be a member, will excuse the mode in which it now appears, in consideration of the motives, which induce him to consult as a leading object the convenience and accommodation of that Class of his Readers, who though comparative- ly and in the common acceptation of the term unlearned, may not and ought not on than ac- count to be regarded as un-initiated, or as un- enlightened.
