Excerpt
The general design of the following sheets is to inlist
Imagination
under the banner of Science; and to lead her votaries from the
looser
analogies, which dress out the imagery of poetry, to the stricter,
ones
which form the ratiocination of philosophy. While their
particular
design is to induce the ingenious to cultivate the knowledge of
Botany,
by introducing them to the vestibule of that delightful science,
and
recommending to their attention the immortal works of the
celebrated
Swedish Naturalist, LINNEUS.
