DISSERTATION continued.

T he unabating ardour that still prevails in the science of botany, and rather increases than diminishes, renders it almost impossible (from the extreme minutiæ annexed to this elegant tribe) for the pencil of the artist to keep pace with the numerous importations from the Cape (at present the sole emporium of the genus Erica): the limits of the genus it is impossible at present to prescribe, but by the termination of the next Volume we have no doubt of being able to ascertain, in some measure, its extent. The Author’s intention is therefore to figure (first) all the most elegant and desirable of the genus, including many very beautiful varieties, of recent introduction, that far surpass those from which they derive their name; reserving, as a dernier ressort, the most uninteresting and least attractive, to subjoin at the termination of the genus, as necessary links in the chain of this extensive family. The great difficulty attending the cultivation of many of the species, so generally complained of, can only be surmounted by great care and attention to keep them from the partial damps and fogs so prevalent in this island. Among the most tender and difficult to preserve, and which require the most care are the E. obbata, E. retorta, E. ampullacea, E. Aitonia., E. Jasminiflora, E. vestita alba, and E. Massonia; the last of which is perhaps the most tender, owing most likely to the closeness of the leaves, joined with the soft hairs that surround them, which is a great encourager of secreted damps: this, assisted by the great succulence that pervades the upper part of the plant, and its rather abrupt commencement from the wood, renders it so difficult to be preserved. They should by no means be intermixed with other plants, but kept in a house entirely appropriated to them, and so arranged that the air may have as free an egress and regress as possible to them all; as undoubtedly the mixing of them with plants whose foliage is so much larger, although it may produce a pleasing contrast, must exclude the free approach of the atmosphere, to which they are so much exposed in their native clime, and to which the nearest approximation must [Pg 6] [Pg 5] [Pg 4] certainly be most congenial.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate .

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org .

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
