Excerpt from An Introduction to the Science of Botany, Chiefly Extracted From the Works of Linnaeus: To Which Are Added, Several New Tables and Notes, and a Life of the Author

The lives of Botanists seldom present any Very remarkable features to interest the general reader. The destroyers of kingdoms, like the history of high waymen in the Newgate Calendar, engross the at tention of the.majority of mankind. Adam, in his state of primitive virtue, cultivating Paradise with eve, has, with some, less of attraction than when be viewed the dismal fruits of the fall of man, seen in the murder of abel by cain. Still, however, there are to be found persons, who rather delight in the short account of Britzsh W orthws whose trophies are bloodless, to reading of the feats of men whose actions are a disgrace to humanity.
