S i r ,
T h e liberal patronage you have long afforded to
Botany claims the admiration of every lover of the
science. With pleasure, therefore, we take the opportunity
of dedicating to you this Continuation of English
Botany, as a slight expression of our gratitude fo r the
many favours we have received at your hands.
The original Work has acquired a great name. That
the kind assistance of able friends may render our Supplement
in some degree equal to it, and thus not unworthy
of your approbation, is the fond wish of,
S i r ,
Your obedient Servants,
Mead Place, 1S31.
