Note 149 — CHAP. X. OF THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF SALTS, AS SEEN BY THE MICROSCOPE; TOGETHER WITH A CONCISE LIST OF OBJECTS.
Reading edition
This curious work was published in the year 1745. It was the author’s intention to have comprised the whole design in four volumes quarto, but the first volume only appeared. It contains the etymology, synonyma, and description of the several plants and their flowers, with an account of their medical virtues, and an explanation of botanical terms. As the work is in but few hands, and a copy not easy to be procured, I flatter myself that extracts from those parts containing the microscopical descriptions will form an agreeable addition to these Essays; which the reader will accordingly meet with in the following chapter.
