1760287862London: Printed for the Author and Sold by John Rivington C. Hitch and L. Hawes R. Baldwin and others 1760. Twelfth Edition. Full Leather. Very Good binding. The twelfth edition with frontispiece and five folding plates and a Short Introduction to the Knowledge of the Science of Botany pp. 371-417 freely adapted from Linnaeus's early works on binomial nomenclature and descriptive systemic botany. The preface states that "to this edition of the Gardeners Kalendar the author was advised to subjoin a short Introduction to the Science of Botany; in which the definitions of terms of art which are used in the present favourite system of Doctor Linnaeus should be explained for the benefit of practical gardeners . the whole was prepared for the press before the translation of Linnaeus's Philosophia Botanica published by Mr. Lee made its appearance." This is presumably one of the first English explanations of Linnaeus's taxonomic work which was still being fleshed out by Linnaeus though it is certainly the first of Philip Miller's popular works to be based on the Linnaean system and also the first with more than simply a frontispiece; the five additional folding plates depict examples of plant Families from the Short Introduction.

Hugh Miller was an uneducated quarry man who came to prominence by writing letters to his local editor in Scotland condemning the House of Lords for demanding changes made to the Church of Scotland. His skills as a writer were immediately recognized and he was encouraged to write and publish more articles. Since his first love was the quarry in which he worked he began writing articles on geology which were very well received and published in book form. His autobiography went through numerous editions and was seen as an example for the working class of how a uneducated man could succeed by hard work and trust in his opinions. Miller whose work was praised by such men as Agassiz Carlyle Hunt and Huxley committed suicide two days before Christmas in 1856. <br/><br/> Gould and Lincoln hardcover books
