plant_n by_o their_o taste_n and_o smell_v which_o be_v most_o evident_a in_o galen_n book_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o simple_a medicine_n where_o i_o find_v the_o taste_n and_o odour_n of_o many_o plant_n describe_v as_o i_o have_v do_v which_o give_v i_o a_o great_a satisfaction_n when_o i_o find_v my_o taste_n to_o agree_v with_o they_o of_o former_a age_n which_o i_o have_v not_o read_v till_o i_o have_v finish_v my_o description_n of_o taste_n and_o odour_n this_o summer_n i_o visit_v the_o famous_a physick-garden_n at_o chelsey_n in_o which_o i_o find_v a_o great_a number_n of_o curious_a plant_n but_o have_v not_o give_v the_o taste_n of_o above_o forty_o or_o fifty_o my_o affair_n not_o permit_v i_o to_o go_v above_o twice_o i_o be_v please_v with_o many_o curiosity_n there_o which_o the_o ingenuous_a and_o oblige_a mr._n watts_n show_v i_o especial_o the_o tree_n which_o bear_v the_o jesuit_n bark_n we_o observe_v a_o turpentine_n in_o it_o and_o not_o the_o laurel-bit_a taste_n evident_a in_o ordinary_a bark_n i_o have_v since_o observe_v a_o turpentine-smell_a in_o the_o fresh_a young_a leave_n of_o laurel_n and_o walnut_n and_o also_o of_o black_a

the_o midst_n of_o summer_n but_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o bark_n will_v best_o discover_v the_o specific_a taste_n and_o juice_n of_o that_o tree_n i_o very_o much_o admire_v mr._n watts_n ingenuity_n in_o order_v his_o plant_n into_o a_o method_n for_o learner_n and_o in_o his_o artificial_a heat_n for_o the_o more_o early_o ripen_v of_o fruit._n his_o taste_n and_o smell_n do_v very_o much_o agree_v with_o i_o and_o do_v ready_o acknowledge_v my_o right_n class_v of_o many_o plant_n i_o be_v also_o oblige_v to_o the_o company_n of_o dr._n baynard_n and_o dr._n betts_n junior_n who_o taste_v some_o plant_n at_o chelsey_n with_o i_o and_o concur_v also_o in_o the_o description_n of_o their_o taste_n and_o smell_v i_o have_v not_o whole_o trust_v to_o my_o own_o taste_n in_o the_o description_n of_o our_o country_n herb_n but_o have_v consult_v the_o taste_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n and_o for_o that_o be_o oblige_v to_o divers_a divine_n apothecary_n surgeon_n

of_o woman_n be_v more_o critical_a than_o man_n who_o general_o dull_v it_o by_o intemperance_n and_o tobacco_n i_o shall_v ready_o retract_v any_o error_n i_o have_v commit_v but_o advise_v the_o reader_n not_o too_o confident_o to_o conclude_v my_o mistake_n on_o the_o sudden_a for_o it_o do_v require_v a_o long_a experience_n in_o taste_n before_o i_o can_v distinguish_v many_o composition_n
