A Botany Dictionary from M.DCC.XCIIl.

In looking for works of Kepler, I came across this old botany dictionary and decided to post a link to it here for my botany friends and anyone interested in word used by Linnaeus. It looks like an optical encoder might have copied the text, since the old "esses," look like "f's" in the linked text.

Full text of, "LANGUAGE of BOTANY: BEING A DICTIONARY OF THE TERMS MADE USE OF IN THAT SCIENCE PRINCIPALLY BY LINNEUS: WITH FAMILIAR EXPLANATIONS, AND AN ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH SIGNIFICANT ENGLISH TERMS. THE WHOLE INTERSPERSED WITH CRITICAL REMARKS.

By THOMAS MARTTN, B. D. F.R.S.
PROFESSOR OF BOTANY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF
CAMBRIDGE."
