WHereas a Book Entitled, Musaeum Regalis Societatis, being not only a perfect Catalogue of all the Rarities Natural and Artificial, belonging to the Royal Society, and preserved at Gresham College. But containing moreover large and full Descriptions of those Particulars, which are either not at all, or falsely, or very defectively described in the Musaeums of Calceolarius, Septalius, Wormius, the College of the Jesuits at Rome, of Monsieur Ferdinand Cospy, or by Aldrovandus, Rondeletius, Gesnerus, Salvianus, or other Authors. Whereunto the more especial Uses, Natural, Medicinal and Mechanical, and divers Experiments relating to them, are also added; all which will be comprised in about Fourscore Printed Sheets: Together with the Figures of such Particulars as are omitted by Others, to be contained in about Twenty five half Sheets, wrought off from Copper-Plates. Whereto is also subjoined a Treatise, Entitled, The Comparative Anatomy of the Stomaches and Guts of about Thirty sorts of Animals; being several Lectures read before the Royal Society; which will be contained in about Ten Printed Sheets. With the Figures of the said Parts; which will be contained in about Five half Sheets, likewise wrought off from Copper-Plates. And both being, as at first undertaken upon the desire, so now to be Published by the Order of the said Society. IT is therefore Proposed by the Author, Doctor Nehemiah Grew, That whoever Subscribeth for Six English Copies in Quires, or procureth Subscriptions for so many, shall receive seven such Copies Imprinted with a fair Letter, upon very good Paper, in Folio. And he that Subscribeth for one, or any number under Six, shall receive his Copy or Copies of the same Impression and Paper as abovesaid, to be prized at no more than a penny per Sheet, and a penny per Plate; which, for each Copy, will amount to about Ten shillings. Every Subscriber or Procurer giving Notice to the said Doctor Grew of his Subscription, or procured Subscriptions, at or before the Twentieth of April next: For that it is intended the Copies shall not exceed the number of Subscriptions. And within Fourteen days after Public Notice is given to every Subscriber or Procurer, That the Impression of the said Book is finished (which, God willing, shall be within or before Michaelmas Term next) every Subscriber or Procurer to give Order for the payment of the Subscription-Monies to the said Doctor Grew, upon the Receipt of the said Copy or Copies, at his House near Warwick-Court in Warwick-Lane, London. Note, That although the said Book be prized no higher than at about Ten shillings, yet at the usual and ordinary price, of Books of this nature, it will be worth about Eighteen shillings.
