-Trees_, &c. the IVth _Edition_, very much _improv'd_. _Folio._ 4. _Kalendarium Hortense_, both in _Folio_ and _Octavo_. The Xth _Edition_, much _augmented_. 5. _Sculptura_: Or, The _History_ of _Chalcography_ and _Engraving_ in _Copper_, the _Original_ and _Progress_ of that _Art_, &c. _Octavo._ 6. The _Parallel_ of _Architecture_, being an Account of _Ten_ famous _Architects_, with a _Discourse_ of the _Terms_, and a _Treatise_ of _Statues_. _Folio._ 2d _Edition_. 7. The _Idea_ of the _Perfecting_ of _Painting_. _Octavo._ 8. _Navigation_ and _Commerce_, their _Original_ and _Progress_. _Octavo._ 9. _Publick Employment_ and an _Active Life_, prefer'd to _Solitude_ and its _Appanages_, &c. _Octavo._ 10. _Terra_: Or, A _Philosophical_ Discourse of _Earth_, the IIId _Edition_. _Folio_ and _Octavo_. 11. _Numismata_, a _Discourse_ of _Medals_; to which is added, A _Digression_ concerning _Physiognomy_. _Folio._ 12. _Acetaria_: Or, A Discourse of _Sallets_. 2d _Edition_. * * * * * _Naming_ the last Discourse (save one) I take this Opportunity to acquit my self of some _Omissions_ and _Mistakes_, left out in the _Errata_ of _Numismata_; but, upon discovery, immediately after, notify'd, and reform'd in the next _Philosophical Transactions_ of that Month. Amico carissimo _Johanni Evelyno_, Armigero, e Societate Regali Londini, J. Beale, _S.P.D._ _In_ Silvam. Fare age quid causae est quod tu _Silvestria_ pangis, Inter _Silvanos_, capripedesque _Deos_? Inter _Hamadryadas_ laetus, _Dryadasque_ pudicas, Cum tua _Cyrrhaeis_ sit _Chelys_ apta modis! Scilicet hoc cecinit numerosus _Horatius_ olim, _Scriptorum Silvam_ quod _Chorus Omnis amat_. Est locus ille Sacer _Musis, & Apolline_ dignus, Prima dedit summo _Templa_ sacranda _Jovi_. Hinc quoque nunc Pontem _Pontus_ non respuit ingens, Stringitur _Oceanus_, corripiturque Salum. Hinc novus _Hesperiis_ emersit mundus in oris,{cii:1} Effuditque auri flumina larga probi. Hinc exundavit distento _Copia cornu_, Qualem & _Amalthaeae_ non habuere sinus. _Silva_ tibi curae est, grata & _Pomona_ refundit Auriferum, roseum, purpureumque _nemus_. Illa famemque sitimque abigens expirat odores, Quales nec _Medus_, nec tibi mittit _Arabs_. Ambrosiam praebent modo cocta _Cydonia_. Tantum
