Hardbound set. Second edition. The Scotsman, John Claudius Loudon (1783-1843), was the most eminent early 19th century expert on landscapes, gardening, and agriculture. At the age of 20 he visited London and was shocked by the gloomy trees and plantings in the public squares. He published an article, Observations on Laying out the Public Squares of London" in the Literary Journal, in which he recommended the Oriental plane, almond, sycamore, and other lighter trees, instead of the lugubrious plantings that had hitherto been in vogue. His advice gradually prevailed, and the effect is still to be seen in London and throughout the kingdom. Now he was an author, as well as practical workman, and his pen went onward with little intermission for forty years. , until his life terminated. Many of his works were enriched with copperplate engravings of landscape scenery, drawn by himself. He became a successful practitioner and instructor in agriculture, gardening, architecture, botany, etc. His greatest work, which would of itself have been sufficient for any ordinary lifetime, was this Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum," in which he gave an account, with pictorial illustrations, of all the trees, wild or cultivated, that grow in Great Britain. This production, which was published in 1838, at his own risk, was so unsuccessful, that after paying artists and other persons engaged in it, he found himself in debt to the amount of L10,000 to the printer, stationer, and wood-engraver, while the sale of such a splendid publication was so slow, that there was no prospect that it would ever pay its own expenses. Though sick of heart and body, he went on to publish other enormously significant works that are valued today by collectors, historians, scientists, and all who work with plants in any capacity. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

Crease on bottom left corner not affecting image. Published in Vanity Fair 10 June 1871.The Tichborne case was a legal cause célèbre that captivated Victorian England in the 1860s and 1870s. It concerned the claims by an individual sometimes referred to as Thomas Castro or as Arthur Orton but usually termed "the Claimant" to be the missing heir to the Tichborne baronetcy. He failed to convince the courts was convicted of perjury and served a long prison sentence.Roger Tichborne heir to the family's title and fortunes was presumed to have died in a shipwreck in 1854 at age 25. His mother clung to a belief that he might have survived and after hearing rumours that he had made his way to Australia she advertised extensively in Australian newspapers offering a reward for information. In 1866 a butcher known as Thomas Castro from Wagga Wagga came forward claiming to be Roger Tichborne. Although his manners and bearing were unrefined he gathered support and travelled to England. He was instantly accepted by Lady Tichborne as her son although other family members were dismissive and sought to expose him as an impostor.During protracted enquiries before the case went to court in 1871 details emerged suggesting that the Claimant might be Arthur Orton a butcher's son from Wapping in London who had gone to sea as a boy and had last been heard of in Australia. After a civil court had rejected the Claimant's case he was charged with perjury; while awaiting trial he campaigned throughout the country to gain popular support. In 1874 a criminal court jury decided that he was not Roger Tichborne and declared him to be Arthur Orton. Before passing a sentence of 14 years the judge condemned the behaviour of the Claimant's counsel Edward Kenealy who was subsequently disbarred because of his conduct.After the trial Kenealy instigated a popular radical reform movement the Magna Charta Association which championed the Claimant's cause for some years. Kenealy was elected to Parliament in 1875 as a radical independent but was not an effective parliamentarian. The movement was in decline when the Claimant was released in 1884 and he had no dealings with it. In 1895 he confessed to being Orton only to recant almost immediately. He lived generally in poverty for the rest of his life and was destitute at the time of his death in 1898. Although most commentators have accepted the court's view that the Claimant was Orton some analysts believe that an element of doubt remains as to his true identity and that conceivably he was Roger Tichborne.
