Summary
"IF in this Catalogue of Fruits, I have either mistaken or omitted many of the true English names, it is because it was a Subjection too insupportable: and besides the French Gardiners themselves are not perfectly accorded concerning them; nor have our Orchards, as yet, attained to so ample a Choyce and universal, as to supply the deficiency of the Dictionary."
