2763Four folding engraved plates. Title printed in red & black. 2 p.l. xi 372 pp. 2 leaves of ads. 8vo cont. panelled calf minor rubbing. London: J. Woodman & D. Lyon 1727. First edition and a lovely copy. Bradley 1688-1732 first professor of botany at Cambridge was one of the earliest British writers to treat agriculture as a science. His writings were prolific including about twenty volumes dealing with agriculture. This book is one of his most important. "Cost of production was beginning to interest farmers more then it had done. For a hundred years the business had been steadily becoming more commercial. Instead of being rich because he grew a lot to eat a man was beginning to find that he was only rich if he grew a lot to sell and naturally he wanted to sell at a profit. To do that he must know what it cost him to grow the produce.and so writers began to insert costings in their books and Bradley was one of the earliest to do this. The Complete Body contains numerous costs but I suspect they were of common knowledge rather than anything more immediately collected and closely scrutinized yet they must have been accurate enough by the author's readers as not unreasonable."-Fussell I pp. 111-12. Fine crisp copy. ❧ D.S.B. II p. 390. unknown books

Bradley ca. 1688-1732 was an English botanist and gardener appointed to be the first Professor of Botany at Cambridge University a Fellow of the Royal Society and the first to publish a pineapple recipe in English.

Image 9-1/2 x 12 inches; attractively gilt-framed with lettered French mat 17-1/2 x 19-1/2 inches overall. Original Drawing of Mr. Verdant Green at Cricket. A popular Victorian literary character was Mr. Verdant Green an Oxford Freshman hero of several books written and illustrated by a Midland vicar Rev. Edward Bradley 1827-1889 under the pen-name of Cuthbert Bede. Bradley had learned wood-engraving from no less than George Cruikshank but as Houfe notes "remained very much the amateur illustrating his own books.and others in a jolly and careless style." He also drew for Punch and "was one of the first illustrators to satirise photography."<br/><br/>This drawing jolly and careless shows two sketches of the hapless freshman unsuccessfully defending a wicket--the drawings appear in more finished wood-engraved form on pages 100-101 of The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green-- and a more formal portrait done in the year in which The Adventures first appeared thus making it an Oxford literary and cricket item all in one.
