Flora Descriptions of Indian Plants /By the Late William Roxburgh, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

The sons of my deceased friend Dr. Roxburgh being anxious that the Flora I ndica, on which he bestowed so many years of unremitting labour, should be presented without any farther delay to the scientific world, requested me to superintend the progress of these Volumes through the press, a request with which I cheerfully complied. The first Volume formerly published being out of print, it became necessary to reprint it in order to complete the undertaking; that volume was enriched by the invaluable notes and additions of Dr. Wallich ;but as Captains Roxburgh did not consider themselves at liberty to make use of those additions without the permission of that eminent, Botanist, they have beeji omitted in reprinting the Volume ;the present edition of the Flora, to be completed in foxu Volumes, will therefore consist of the MSS. left with me by the late Dr. Roxburgh, without any addition. W. CAREY. Serampore, -D ec. 2ith, 183i.
