_Advertis.e.m.e.nt._
_It was thought fit to publish here_ the following _Advertis.e.m.e.nt_ of _John Evelyn_ Esquire, and that, as himself proposed it. _Viz_,
Being much solicited by many worthy Persons, to publish a _Second Edition_ of my Discourse and Directions concerning _Timber, &c._ which was printed at the Command and by the Encouragement of the _R. Society_, I do humbly request, that if any Person have any Material, Additions or Reformations, which he thinks necessary either to the Part, which concerns the Improvement of _Forrest-Trees_, or that of _Cider_, he would be pleased to communicate his Notes and Directions to Mr. _H. Oldenburgh_, one of the Secretaries of the said Society, at his House in the _Palmal_ of _St.
James's Fields Westminster_, with what speed they conveniently can, before our _Lady-day_ next, to be inserted into this intended _Edition_.
NOTE,
_What was observed, _Numb. 20_. p. 364, l. 18, of the Number of _Vegetables_,_ (_vid._ That they are about 410.) _found in _England_; and catalogued by Dr. _Merret_ in his _Pinax_, &c. is to be understood only of the _different Kinds_ of Plants, not of the several sorts of several Plants; for, these being comprised, the Number will amount to about 1400._
