Dr. Pulteney relates this anecdote of Mr. Miller: "He was the only person I ever knew who remembered to have seen Mr. Ray.

I regret that Mr. Ray only meditated a work to have been entitled Horti Angliæ. Had he written it, I should have felt a singular pride in introducing his valued name in the present imperfect volume.
