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

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.

the volume a more portable appearance, thus
to abbreviate, and he is^ convinced that the
scientific Botanist, wanting no such key to
the explanation of the Botanical terms, will
rather applaud than condemn it.
