Henrey 945; ESTC T146573. ◆Boards with a number of small abrasions but the restored binding sound and perfectly agreeable; isolated faint dust-soiling to head margins other trivial imperfections but the text in very fine condition especially clean crisp and bright and with ample margins.<br/> <br/> Very fresh and bright internally especially for a book expected to incur use in an unprotected context this practical and comprehensive work would have been an indispensable resource for any 18th century husbandman interested in raising livestock and cultivating trees vegetables and fruit. Although the frontispiece depicts the stately Richmond home of the Prince of Wales with its manicured grounds and rows of neatly spaced trees the contents are just as useful to the everyman including "Husbandman Grazier Planter Gardener and Florist." John Laurence 1668-1752 was a fellow at Cambridge before becoming rector of Yelvertoft Northamptonshire where he developed a passion for horticulture while renewing a dilapidated garden there DNB tells us he was especially skilled at growing pears. Laurence wrote three books on the pleasures of gardening while living in Yelvertoft; he later moved to Bishopwearmouth Durham where he wrote the present work--his last and according to Henrey "most ambitious literary project." The author explains how to improve and maintain the land in book I with advice on planting crops and raising different kinds of livestock from cattle to silkworms. He even devotes a few chapters to using land for mines and quarries revealing the "hidden Treasures which lie couched in Nature's Bowels." Book II is devoted to forest and timber trees and books III-V offer a catalogue of fruit trees vegetables and decorative plants to grow in the Fruit Garden Kitchen Garden and Flower-Garden respectively. This is a pleasurable book to leaf through being wonderfully clean throughout and accessible to the modern reader with familiar plants that might be growing in one's backyard today. Printed for Tho.

Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Sir George Shuckburgh Bart. and ex-libris of Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt. Fussell II 48-49; Hunt 564 this copy. ◆Extremities a bit rubbed corners bumped but A FINE COPY INTERNALLY quite clean fresh and wide margined in a solid serviceable binding.<br/> <br/> This is the Hunt copy of an influential work by the French polymath whom Raphael calls "one of the outstanding botanists of the 18th century" in the fields of plant physiology and agriculture. A physician naval engineer and botanist Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau 1700-82 gave up on formal university training to take lodgings near the Botanical Gardens where he pursued his own plan of learning from the director and from other distinguished persons who gathered there. After inheriting his father's estate he set up a model farm on the property to test various theories and methods of agriculture. According to Fussell Duhamel was a proponent of Jethro Tull's "drill husbandry" method of cultivating seeds planted in rows by machine the technique that formed the basis of modern agricultural practice. "He carried out extensive and probably costly experiments and demonstrated the financial advantages and increased physical volume of yield the system provided. This book no doubt played a large part in stimulating interest in the drill husbandry." Hunt notes that the present work was "apparently collected from several publications by Duhamel . . . with the addition of observations and experiments by other French and English writers" by translator and editor John Mills ca. 1717 - ca. 1794. The present item was once owned by one of the greatest botanical book collectors of modern times Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt 1882-1963. According to the Hunt Institute website "at the age of 15 Rachel received her first rare book Leonard Meager's 'The English Gardener' 1670 from a family member. Given her interest in plants gardens books and history this book planted the seed! for a lifelong appreciation of reading and collecting books about botany gardens and other plant-related topics." In addition to assembling an outstanding book collection Hunt was a respected bookbinder who studied with Cobden-Sanderson's pupil Euphemia Bakewell and operated the Lehcar Rachel spelled backwards Bindery out of her family home. She was a founding member of the Hroswitha Club for women bibliophiles which has since merged with the formerly all-male Grolier Club. Another previous owner Sir George Shuckburgh sixth baronet 1751-1804 was a prominent mathematician who was awarded the Royal Society's Copley Medal for his work to establish the standard length of a yard.
