Reprinted in 1786. Salazar's continuation of Solis has neither the beauty of style and language of the latter, nor any redeeming merit as a historical composition. The language is ridiculously inflated and bombastic. The editor of the second edition acknowledges the inferiority of the work, but alleges as an apology for reprinting it the want of something better to complete the work of Solis. 13 FLORA VIRGINICA exhibens plantas quas V.
