The Author of this book, according to the arrangement of Monf. Jufficu, in the botanical garden at Trianon, fixes the ftrawberry as a fpecies of the first fection of the family of the rofaceous: that is, of thofe plants whofe flowers refemble a rofe. Of this fpecies he diftinguifhes ten races, viz. fragaria femperflorens, fylveftris, hortenfis, flagellis, monophylla, viridis, mefchata, chiloenfis, ananalfa, & virginiana; all which, together with feveral varieties, particularly of the wood ftrawberry, are minutely defcribed in this volume. Among the varieties of the fragaria fylueftris, we find le fraifier de Plimouth, aftrawberry mentioned by most of the botanists of the laft century, and from them copied into the works of the moderns, though it seems at prefent not to exift. Linnæus makes it a diftinct fpecies, Hadfon only a variety. Ray, after Gerard, calls it fragaria fructu hifpido, rough ftrawberry, and adds, found by Jo. Tradefcant the elder in a woman's garden at Plymouth, whofe daughter gathered it abroad, and planted it there: pro lufu potius naturæ hanc habeo, quam pro fpecie diftincta. Gerard feems to have been the firft who mentioned this fpecies or variety; but the most minute defcription of it is that of Zanoni, published in 1675. Our countryman Parkinson, in his Paradifis Terreftris, tells us, that this ftrawberry differs principally from the common fort in bearing a green flower, and its fruit being covered with prickles, which do not however wound the tongue; that its tafte is not agreeable, but that it is pleafant to look upon; and that a handsome woman may very well, out of caprice, carry it in her hand inftead of a flower. An ordinary lady, we fuppofe, would not look well with it. We shall now trauflate from our Author's remarques particu lières, the hiftory of the birth of the ftrawberry of Verfailles, above mentioned. In a little garden, fays he, which my father had bought, for the fake of experiments, having in the years 1760, and 1761, fowed fome feeds of the fragaria mejchata, we alfo fowed feeds of the common wood ftrawberry, which had, for feveral years together, been cultivated in that garden. Our only intention was to try whether red ftrawberries often produce white. But thefe having been transplanted too early, and afterwards neglected, moft of them died. Having failed in our experiment, the few that escaped continued unregarded till 1763, about their time of flowering, which in most of them was retarded till the year following. It was not till the 7th of July 1763, that we obferved, among thefe ftrawberries, one, of which all the leaves were fingle, instead of being palmated in three divifions. From that inftant we preferved, with the utmost care, all the offsets it produced, and in the fpring of the next year we were poffeffed of no less than fixty roots.' cos a more minute and accurate the species and varieties of straw is to be found in any other canus remarks relative to fome other Home & Phyfiologie, &c.

Quick-filver, and fat oils are likewife ufed for this purpofe. The red colouring ingredients are carmine, cinaber, Brafil-wood and vermilion; the blue are, Pruffian blue, Indian blue, blue afhes, indigo, and ivory black, &c. If you intend to colour the liquor yellow, the beft ingredients are gutta gamba, la grain d'Avignon, or Lorraine earth. For the fine injection, the mixture generally ufed, is that of fpirit of turpentine with vermilion. The firit thing necefry to be obferved is the choice of your fubject, which ought to be neither old nor fat. You will generally fucceed beit in a fubject about three feet in length. Having thus made choice of a proper fubject, you begin by fhaving and wafhing it all over with warm water. If the weather be cold, you are to bathe the body in hot though not boiling water. If you intend to inject all the arteries at one ftroke of the pifton, except the pulmonary artery, you begin by making a longitudinal incifion from the upper part of the fernum to the xyphoid cartilage, continuing it below the left breaft as far as four or five fingers breadth from the fernum. Having then detached the fkin, the fat, and the great pectoral muscle, you open the thorax, by cutting through three or four of the cartilages of the firft ribs, taking care not to cut the internal arteria mamaria. If it should be cut, you are to make a ligature. The thorax being thus opened, you difcover the pericardium, through which you make a crucial incifion, in order to come at the pulmonary artery and the aorta, which you are to feparate one from the other, paffing a waxed thread, of many doubles, round the latter, into which you now make an orifice large enough to admit your tube. If there fhould be any coagulated blood or lymph, it must be first cleared away. The tube being introduced, the artery muft be tied faft round it, fo as not to flip when you come to inject. If you want to inject the veins, you are to introduce your tube near their extremity, as in the faphena falvatella, or céphalica of the thumb. Veins may alfo be injected from the trunk to the branches, as in the vena porta; but this fucceeds only where there are few or no valves. If you intend to inject some detached part of the body, the veffels which are cut through must be carefully tied before you begin. The method of preparing your injection is as follows. f your subject be four or five feet in length, take an ounce of vermillion, and pour on to it as much spirit of turpentine, or other liquor above mentioned, as will wet it entirely, mixing This little volume c Dictionaire raisonné A Dictionary of Anatomy UR Readers will obfer: OUR have omitted the word From the title of these volu INJECTION, injectio, as a ter With regard to the confiftence N.
