GAIGE Cose 2248296 P R E F A CE. TH HE Linnæan Syſtem of Nature is now too univerſally adopted to require any defence or apology: if it be not the moſt natural, it is doubtleſs the moſt convenient, and that is a fufficient anſwer to every objec- tion. a The firſt volume of this Synopſis contain- ing the Animal Kingdom, was firſt publiſhed in the year 1769 under the title of Outlines, &c. the ſecond, comprehending the Vege- table productions of Great Britain and Ireland, in 1770; and the Fofils, in a ſmall volume, in the year 1772. In the preſent edition, the Animals and Foſſils are compriſed in one volume. This ſketch of our Natural Hiſtory hath been long out of print: it was originally imperfect, and that imperfection is ſo con- ſiderably augmented by the labours of later writers, that I am compelled to reviſe and republiſh the book, in ſpite of my indo- lence. A 3 The vi P R E FACE. The prefent age is particularly diftinguiſhed by the expanſionof Chemiſtry and of Natural Hiſtory. For this expanſion we are prin- cipally indebted to the frozen regions of the North. Linnæus, Bergman and Scheele are immortal in the annals of Philoſophy. Ima- gination may be peculiarly the offspring of fouthern climes; but colder regions are more favourable to that indefatigable perſeverance from which great improvements and diſco- veries are to be expected. In the Animal Kingdom, the number of Species, in the clafs MAMALIA, hitherto diſ- covered, is about 350: of this number 54 only are inhabitants of Britain. The Species of Birds, deſcribed by Line næus, amount to very near a thouſand. This number is now almoſt doubled by the disa coveries of Sir Joſeph Banks, Mr. Pennant, Latham, Briffon, Mauduit, Desfontaines, Dombey, Vaillant, &c. by the laſt of whom upwards of 50 new ſpecies have been lately brought from the Cape of Good Hope. Of this claſs about 250 ſpecies inhabit theſe iſlands; ſome of them conſtantly, others during part of the year. Of P R E F A CÉ, vii Of the claſs AMPHIBIA there are in the laſt edition of the Syſtema Nature very near 300 ſpecies, of which 50 have been deſcribed by the Natural Hiſtorians of Britain. Of FISHES Linnæus has deſcribed about 400 ſpecies. Our late celebrated circum- navigators have ſo conſiderably augmented the catalogue, that they now amount to up- wards of one thouſand. Of theſe about 130 ſpecies have been caught in our rivers, lakes, and on our ſea-coaſts. OF INSECTS, near 10,000 ſpecies have been deſcribed, and probably many thouſand ſtill remain undiſcovered. In this claſs I have added nothing to thoſe that were in the for- mer edition. They are upwards of 600. The Fossil KINGDOM, which, in the pre- ſent edition, makes a part of the firſt volume, has ſuffered no alteration in point of dif- poſition. The ſyſtem is neither that of Lin- næus nor directly that of any other Minera- logift. I flatter myſelf it will be found more uſeful than if it were. The additions, corrections, and emendations are, as bulk, inconſiderable ; but thoſe addi- tions to A 4 viii P R E F À CE. ditions which, in confequence of the late diſ- coveries in Chemiſtry, indicate the conftitu- ent parts of bodies, are numerous and im- portant. The ſecond volume contains the VEGE- TABLE KINGDOM. The number of plants, ſpecifically diſtinct, defcribed by Linnæus, father and ſon, is about 13,500. To theſe M. Commerçon has added 1500, and M. Dombei about the ſame number. M. Def- fontaines enumerates between three and four hundred non-deſcripts. M. Thunberg has lately brought 600 new ſpecies from Japan; Dr. Sipthorp, 200 from the Archipelago; M. Michaux, 400 from the Levant, Perſia, and North America. Theſe, together with the numerous collection of Sir Joſeph Banks and of other travellers, have probably in- creaſed the number of ſpecies to upwards of 20,000. Of this number I have deſcribed . 1600; which I believe is allthat have hitherto been diſcovered growing ſpontaneouſly in this country. Some of them, certainly, are not aboriginally indigenous; the preſent genera- tion however are natives, and propagate their ſpecies without cultivation; they are not PRE FACE. ix not indeed Ancient Britons; but they are Bri- tons nevertheleſs, The Linnæan ſyſtem is evidently and con- feffedly artificial, the ſole uſe and intention of which is, to enable a young Botaniſt to diſcover the name of any unknown plant, by reducing it, firſt to its Claſs, then to its Order, then Genus, and finally to its Species. Sup- poſing him, therefore, well acquainted with the characteriſtics of the Twenty-four Claſſes, having gathered a plant with which he is un- acquainted, he firſt examines the parts of fructification, and, without much difficulty, determines the Claſs. He then fixes the Order; and ſoproceeds. But if it ſhould un- fortunately happen, that the whole Clafs and Order, to which his plant evidently belongs, exhibit no ſuch Genus, heis immediately be- wildered, and begins to flatter himſelf that he has diſcovered a plant unknown to Linnæus: Nor is there any method of finding his mif- take, except by comparing the plant in queſtion with every generic character in the whole Syſtem. How ſtrange foever this may appear, it is a caſe that muſt frequently happen, in con- ſequence PRE FACE. ſequence of Linnæus, and Hudſon after him, having ſometimes arranged particular Species in Claſſes to which they do not belong, be- cauſe they were unwilling to ſeparate one or more Species from others of the fame Genus: Doubtleſs, if this could be avoided, without fo manifeſt an inconveniency, it ought. But if Nature be ſo untractable as not to ſubmit entirely to the fetters of Art, we muſt do the beſt we can, and of two evils chuſe the leaft. I am ſorry to differ from a man to whom the ſcience of Botany owes ſuch infinite obliga- tion; but I humbly conceive, that in all ſyſtems, the firſt grand diviſions of Claſs and Order ſhould be abfolute, withoutexceptions; otherwiſe the ſyſtem ſerves only to perplex the inveſtigation it was meant to facilitate. On this principle, therefore, I have transferred ſeveral ſingle Species to their proper Claſs and Order, referring the reader for their generic character to the Claſs and Order where the reſt of the fame Genus are to be found. In a Natural ſyſtem this feparation would be unpardonable; but in an Artificial one, provided I am thus enabled more readily to identicate the plant in queſtion, it is cer- tainly P R E FACE. xi tainly of no importance that there are other Species of the fame Genus in another part of the Book. I cannot conclude this preface without ac- knowledging my obligation to thoſe to whom I am particularly indebted for the additions in the preſent publication. My firſt acknowledgements are due to Thomas Pennant, Efq; whoſe Britiſh Zoology was my principal original affiftant in the firſt four Claſſes; and to whoſe kind com- munications I am obliged for upwards of 50 new ſpecies: theſe are diſtinguiſhed by a re- ference to the Zoology. Mr. Pennant's Syſtem I think preferable to that of Linnæus: it is perhaps equally convenient for inveſti- gation, and certainly much leſs diſtorted; but a predilection for the fyftem of my old maf- ter, and the trouble incidental to the altera- tion, overpowered my wiſh to adopt that of Mr. Pennant. In my reviſal of the Vegetable Kingdom, Dr. Withering's Botanical Arrangement, and Mr. Lightfoot's Flora Scotica, were of great uſe to me: they are both valuable publica- tions. 4 I am xii PRE FACE. I am particularly happy in acknowledging my obligations to Mr. Curtis; whoſe favour- able opinion of theſe volumes was a principal cauſe of their republication, and the re- ferences to whoſe admirable Flora Londinenſis hath ſo much improved the preſent edition of my book.

Inſipid, not ſoluble in pure water or oil; not inflammable, not ductile; preſerving their conſti- tution in a ſtrong heat but when fuſed become glaſs. II. SALTS. Sapid, ſoluble in water, and recoverable, by evapo- ration, in their priſtine angular form; not inflam- mable, nor ductile. III. INFLAMMABLES. Soluble in oil, but not in water; readily take fire, and are in a great meaſure conſumed. IV, MET AL S. Of all mineral bodies moſt ponderous ; fuſible, but reſuming their original properties and a convex ſurface when cold, even after calcination, by the addi- tion of phlogiſton. Order I. Metals (properly ſo called) malleable. II. Semi metals, not maleable. Q2 V. PETRE [ 228 ] V. PETREFACTIONS. Animals, or parts of animals, or vegetables changed into a foffile ſubſtance. VI. W A T E R. Not inflammable; very little if at all, compreſ- fible; foluble in air; by heat rendered volatile, and extremely elaftic; fluid when Fahrenheit's ther- mometer ſtands above 32 degrees, and ſolid when it is below that point.
