Blanche Henrey 883 mentioning that not all copies of this edition have the two plates and ours does not. In effect the third edition though the preceeding two have the title "The Scots Gardiners Director". Sir James Justice 1698 - 1763 was a Scottish horticulturalist/gardener. His works on gardening were distributed in much of Britain and Ireland. He reportedly had a passion for botanical experiments which he pursued at the expense of his finances and family. Indeed the later miniaturist John Kay wrote that tulipomania was the cause of him parting with his estate at Crichton and the purchase of a smaller one. His divorce and expulsion from the Fellowship in the Royal Society has been blamed on the expenses he put into greenhouses and soil mixtures. He is nevertheless a noted figure in Scottish gardening with a claim to be the father of it. The genus Justicia is named for him. Full-Leather. Good. A. Kincaid & J. Bell; R. Fleming Hardcover
