The Subscriber has, for several years, devoted
his leisure-hours to the collection of materials
for a Natural History Of Virginia Labour of
pressing nature is now more than ever neces-
sary to ms mind; and henceforth, he will pro-
secute, with more activity and regularity than
his late sphere of duty allowed, his researches
on SO interesting a subject. With this object
IN view, he solicits auxiliary information from

spect and gratitude. Natural curosities of any
sort, specimens Of rare and valuable producti-
ons, Young Plants, Seeds of Trees, Shrubs, and
Herbs, deemed either ornamental or useful.
would also, iftransmittedfree from all expences
greatly conduce to the accomplishment of the
subscribers design. Gentlemen residing ON,
or near, the banks of James-river, and its prin-
cpal branches, might conveniently send suck
objects, TO be deposited with Mr.. peasants.
From the consciousness of promoting plan,
which may eventually benefit society, such gen.
tlemen would derive reward worthy OF good
hearts, and expanded minds.
To expatiate on the advantages of natural
knowledge, were an insult on the understanding
oil those to whom the present appeal is made
Nor - 1t necessary to offer specific queries
much less so to describe the method of taking,
up, and safely conveying Plants, &c.--Suffce
it to observe that all civilized countries, and,
in particular, some of our sister-states have
warmly patronized similar pursuits and that
botanic collections now eminendy splendid, and
extensively useful, have, for the most part, ORR
ginated in the humble, but jealous and per-
severing efforts of individuds.--By establish
ing with botanists ofhis acquaintance in the U.
States, the West Indies, and Europe, the bcne-
fetal system OF exchange, the subscriber
hopes that, if obligingly aided, he will, in a few
years, be able to exhibit, at least, the rudiments
of a Botanic Garden. Atthe same time, he viii
