Summary:
"Men of science never need apologize for the revival of trouble respecting information, nor do any delay it unless the little fat curator of the British Museum". Questions on North American plants: asks which plants generally cover ridges and rocks as there is no 'Erica', 'Ulex', or ['Spartium']; where the "the universal mosses" are; and what the "palmatters" and palm of [William] Bartram's "Travels" on pages 69 and 113 are. Marriage of David [Pennant] and Smith's "fair countrywoman" this week, anxious to meet her.
