d'Hist. Nat. 6, 588, 1824.
Underwood and others have adopted Filix, Adanson, (1763) as the oldest post Linnaean name for those ferns that generally have been known under the name of Cystopteris, Bernhardi (1806).
According to Christensen, Ludwig used the name Filix in 1757, perhaps in the same sense. Hill, however, in the Family Herbal Digitized by Google 80 EIGHTEENTH REPORT.
used it for the Male Fern and the Female Fern. I will quote a few lines from the preface of this volume in order to sho...w the at- titude at that time of Sir John Hill, toward botanical science as well as to show that he intended the volume to be of a botanical nature as well as a medical dispensatory.
"It grieves a man of public spirit and humanity, to see those things which are the means alone of the advantages of mankind studied, while in the end that advantage itself is forgotten. And in this view he will regard a Culpepper as a more respectable per- son than a Linnaeus or a Dillennius." "That Botany is an use- ful study is plain; because it is in vain that we know betony is good for headaches, or self-heal for wounds, unless we can dis- tinguish betony and self-heal from one another, and so it runs through the whole study." "We are taught by it to know what plants belong to what names, and to know that very distinctly ; and we shall be prevented by that knowledge from giving a purge for an astringent, a poison for a remedy; let us therefore esteem the study of botany, but let us know, that this use of the distinctions it gives is the true end of it; and let us respect those, who employ their lives in establishing those distinctions upon the most certain foundations, upon mak- ing them the most accurately, and carrying them the fartherest possible; these are the botanists; but with all the gratitude we owe them for their labours, and all the respect we show them on that consideration, let us understand them as but the seconds in this science.
