    MATERIA MEDICA. I rHE MACERIA MEDICA. In this catalogue of Materia Medica I could have wilhed to have omitted the hiftories of many limples, which the late Tranflator introduced, thinking it better that the Reader fliould himfelf 'confult fuch Authors as have written profefledly upon the fubjedf, than to ob- trude that upon him, which the nature of the work did not abfolutely feem to require. However, as the obfervations are very ufeful, and have been made with accuracy, they are fufFered to retain their fitu- ation, rather as a mark of refpecSl to his memory, than under any imprelfion of ftri<St local propriety.
