Notes

General notes:
The title is taken from two consecutive titlepages, the first ending with the word “including,” the second reading “A new illustration, etc.” and bearing the imprint. The text of vol. 1, which is different from that of the work of the same title published in 1807, breaks off at p. 200; that of vol. 2 at p. 8. Pp. 13-200 of vol. 1 were also issued in the Author's “Botanical extracts; or Philosophy of botany” published in 1810. Both volumes contain numerous engraved plates which were also issued in the volume of botanical plates intended to illustrate “Botanical extracts.”.
