,,dissertation concluded4 ,at the commencement of this ,monograph the extent of this elegant tribe of plants appeared to be circumscribed within a small compass1 and we calculated upon one volume enshrining the whole ,genus4 ,the termination of that volume left a residuum of sufficient magnitude to complete a second1 at whose termination an ample fund for continuation was still apparent4 ,a third is finished2 and there yet remains enough to form a fourth1 the conclusion of which will1 we think1 contain all that are as yet in cultivation with us1 as the limits of this extensive family appear at present to be bounded within three hundred species and distinct varieties2 and unless some new source should be found to extend it1 by the discovery of some unexpected mine of novelty1 it may be then considered as for a time completed2 although1 no doubt1 from the beautiful variations occasionally raised from seed1 there will be still further accessions of novelty to merit attention at some future period1 by way of appendix4 ,when the author first began to delineate the ,erica family in the year #agid1 the greater part of the species then known had been so recently imported1 that the seeds did not ripen with us4 ,a period of fifteen years having since elapsed1 many of them have become so far naturalized as to perfect their seed freely4 ,the prevalent idea of their not ripening with us is owing to a want of sufficient attention to preserve them2 for1 as soon as the seeds are perfect1 if not immediately collected1 the capsule splits1 and the seeds1 which are extremely small1 escape unperceived4 ,the fourth volume will contain1 in addition to each figure1 a short account of who first raised it1 c41 and at the end of the volume 7which the author trusts will be completed in much less time than the foregoing ones7 all the seeds that can possibly be procured will be represented1 both of the natural size and magnified1 to render the work as complete as the progressive increase of the vegetable kingdom will possibly admit of4 ,,systematical ,,arrangement ,,of ,,the ,,lxxii ,,ericas1 ,,or ,,heaths1 ,,contained ,,in ,,vol4 ,,iii4 ,taken from the shape of the tips1 and
