Whether Miller’s didionary, and efpecially the
fécond volume o f the edition o f 1739, can be con-
fidered as fuiHcient authority for concluding the
plants mentioned in it to have been adually cultivated
in England at the time o f its publication,
may be a matter o f doubt. L y te ’s Herbal is an
adual
adual tranflation of Dodonaeus; and Parkinfon’s
Paradifus terreftris little better than a compilation
from other books. Miller’s didionary is certainly
a more original v/ork than either o f thefe; it is
feldom, however, if ever, that the author has
quoted either of thefe books as authority, without
having been induced by fome additional reafon, to
believe the plants alluded to were adually cultw
vated here at the time ftated.
Several Manufcripts preferved in the Sloanean
Colledion at the Britiih Mufeum have been
made ufe of in this part o f the Work, particularly
N “ 3370, intitled, Horti Regii Hamptonienfis
exoticarum Plantarum Catalogus ; to which another
hand-writing has added, by Dr. Gray. On a
blank page in this book is the following memorandum
: “ This Catalogue I took from one
which the Intendant of the garden they were in
at Hampton-Court, lent to me upon the place,
with liberty fufficient to infped the Plants: they
were brought from Soefdyke, a houfe belonging
“ to Mr. Bentink, afterwards Earl o f Portland,
about the year 1690, and given by him to King
“ William.”
The abbreviation Br. MtiJ. H. S, fignifies the
Sloanean Hortus ficcus, kept in the Britiih Mufeum
