Excerpt from The Natural History of Vegetables, as Well Foreign as Indigenous, Vol. 6: Including an Account of Their Roots, Barks, Woods, Leaves, Flowers, Fruits, Seeds, Resins, Gums, and Concreted Juices, as Also Their Properties, Virtues, and Uses in Medicine, Together With the Method of Cultivating Those Planted in Gardens When the knowledge of Vegetables 13 once reduced unto a (chance, it is requifite that their names and dif tribution Ihould be the firft thing delivered; but thofe who firl't attempted to learn the fcience from Nature herfelf, knew the plant and its properties before they afligned it a name. We have been nourifhed with the fruits, we have been clad with the leaves or barks, and have built huts of the wood of trees before we h� came folicitous as to their ap'pellations, chance rather than fagacity firll taught us the ufe of plants and their names followed their known utility. Hence it is obvious, that thofe immenfe labours which fome late Botanifis have undergone to give us a lift ofihe names of Plants, can tend but little towards the difcovery of their properties.
