To:
Smith, Sir James Edward
Summary:
Looking forward to reading Smith's "Life of Tournefort" [probably for Rees' "Cyclopedia"]. Has a full grown specimen of the 'Myrospermum' Smith mentions in the new fascicle of "Flora Graeca". Also has specimen of 'Passiflora tiliifolia' which Smith mentions in the "Encyclopedia" [Abraham Rees' "Cyclopedia"]. Believes the current "rage for publishing plants according to natural families, like the present situation of the Crown Prince of Sweden" is due to "two of the very few remaining effects of a French Revolution".
