There having been lately Proposed by Subscription Mr RAY's third and last Vol. of his HISTORY of PLANTS, whereby that whole Work is completed containing more Plants, and Description of new Species, than all the Books yet extant on that subject; many hundreds being communicated from the Streights of Magellan, the Philippine Islands, and several Countries never searched of Plants before. By F. Georgio Camelli and other Virtuosi, who either reside, or have made careful remarks in the respective places; all disposed in an easy method, to be found by their Tribes and Characteristicks; with an account of such parts of them as are either Specificks for some Diseases, as the Peruvian Bark, &c. or are Universal Medicines, as Faba St Ignatii, &c. beside many peculiarities belonging to particular Plants, everywhere occurring in the Work. The same is already well advanced at the Press, as may be seen by the Sheets printed off at the Undertakers S A M. S MIT H and B E N J. WALFORD, Printers to the Royal Society, at the Prince's Arms in St Paul's Church-yard. Of whom Proposals may be had, and Printed Receipts given for the first payment.
