Mircuitt. By Caspar Wistar Eppy, Student of Medicine. New-York, August 28th, 1807. ‘ Dear Sir, t ie compliance with your request, I enclose you a cata- logue of the plants I collected in the vicinity of Plandome, during my late visit there. _ The assistance you afforded me during my botanical ex- cursion, and the polite attention I received from your fa- mily during my stay at Plandome, demand the warmest ac- knowledgments from Your obedient servant, CASPAR WISTAR EDDY. To the Hon. S. L. Mircuirtt, M. D. &c. ; [This catalogue gives a good idea of the indigenous ve- getable productions not only at the place specified, and its neighbourhood, but also on the whole north side of Long- Island, and the maritime parts of New-York. The species emitted or overlooked would readily be found and inserted by. the indefatigable collector in a few more excursions. The.present enumeration may be considered as a prelude to a more enlarged list of the native plants growing within eight or ten leagues of New-York, which is now preparing. And what adds to the correctness and value of the present list is, that a specimen of each individual has a place in the rich Herbarium. of the author. ] Edit.

Phars. By Dr. Fevrx Pascauis. E may justly observe that this precious pamphlet, so expressive of the lively genius and of the elevated turn of mind of the Spaniards, is, after six years, rescued from oblivion, and even from the flames. Its elocuent author, Don Ropricurz ArmesTo, a young officer — he navy, became the object of a criminal prosecution, shortly after he had published it with the usual permission of cen- sors appointed by the government of his country. j — pani a worers > .

But these judges of the performance, when they first exe ‘amined it, had not yet been influenced by the prejudices and mortified pride of the whole host of contagionists, and no doubt exercised their powers with justice and liberality. A few weeks after it had circulated, orders from the court were issued for its suppression, and for the arrest and pro- secution of the author, for diffusing false, dangerous and seditious opinions. He was soon compelled to subscribe to a formal declayation of his pretended guilt, and to a certain formula of retractation. More than fifteen hundred copies of his work were publicly burnt. Still a few of them were secretly kept and saved. Hence it comes to pass that we have it in our power to restore the work to its primitive ob- ject of utility, and to render to the writer the just tribute of honour and praise, of which he could not be deprived. May all iniquitous and absurd attempts to check or suppres true information, always meet with a similar fate! 4 We translate, or rather, we make a free translation of the following part of the introductory discourse, better to ex- plain the motives of'the writer, and to exhibit a specimen of his impressive mode of reasoning : ' “« The love only of my fellow creatures could induce me to investigate a subject so different from my usual pursuits; that powerful motive has encouraged-me to encounter all the stings of criticism, and alone to oppose the many errors of the public. I shall, perhaps, lose my time, while but a few of my readers will feel disposed to renounce their opinions and alter their belief. If I were seeking for honour and fame, I should anticipate a disappointment ; but, while de- fending the great interest which moves me, all kind of ap- prehension is superseded, whether I hurt the feelings of some, whether I expose the ignorance of others; provided I could excite opposition, produce discussion, and stimulate party spirit and inquiry. Experience and facts will then be eonsulted, from which abundant streams of instruction may be opened for the benefit of the afflicted race of mankind.- To accomplish this laudable design, I promise to take all my means and weapons from sound logic and common sense. I shall be severe, but impartial and correct. “« To you, ministers of health, and guardians of life (at least you should be so), illustrious professors and _practi- tioners, I dedicate my observations and my doubts. Should it be the case that I must oppose your doctrines, and warn my fellow citizens against your advice, I will do it with | 3 5165 Of
