First edition, 8vo (170 x 110 mm), vi, [2], 9-149, [3]pp., with the final advert leaf and list of 40 subscribers which includes Sir Joseph Banks, Lord Bute, Daines Barrington Lettsom, and Thomas White, folding plan, orig. boards, rubbed, uncut, paper spine chipped, but still a very good copy in original state, uncut. In 1777 William Curtis (1746-1799) began to lay out a Botanic Garden at Lambeth Marsh, 'somewhat more than an acre in extent, situated to the north west of the Magdalen hospital'. This enterprise Curtis made known to the public in 1778 with the publication of his Proposals for opening by subscription, a botanic garden, to be called the "London Botanic Garden". He closed this pamphlet with the statement: 'The garden to be opened the 1st of January, 1779.' The garden was duly opened In 1783 "to members of the public at a subscription of one guinea a year and had a library for their use. To stock it Curtis received plants "from his Majesty's matchless collection of plants in the Royal Gardens at Kew," from the Chelsea Physic Garden and from the private gardens of Pitcairn, Fothergill, John Coakley Lettsom, Sir Joseph Banks and many others, and also the nurserymen L,, Gordon Malcolm, Davies, Loddiges and Grimwood."?Henrey. Curtis published this catalogue of the London Botanical Gardens and dedicated it to the two principal patrons of the undertaking. Daines Barrington (1727-1800), the noted lawyer, antiquary, and naturalist, and Thomas White (1724-97), a brother of Gilbert White of Selborne. Provenance: Contemporary ink ownership signature of G. N. Hall; presentation inscription from J. Rayner to Miss Starr, 1952. This catalogue is rare in commerce and has the leaf C2 which is often wanting; Henrey, 591.
First edition, part I all published, 8vo (190 x 115 mm), [12], 116pp., with the half-title and half-title, 5pp. list of subscribers, original boards, uncut, spine a little chipped, but still a very nice copy. This private botanical garden was originally opened by William Curtis in 1779 at Lambeth, but due to smoke pollution, he moved the plants to the larger gardens in Brompton. According to the Survey of London, "in 1789 William Curtis, the author of Flora Londinensis and the founder of The Botanical Magazine, took over from Rubergall as tenant and moved the botanical garden which he had opened in Lambeth in 1779 to this spot. The Brompton Botanic Garden, as it was known, covered about three and a half acres, almost exactly conforming to the area which is now occupied by the streets and houses on the hospital's estate, while the remaining four and a half acres to the north were used for experiments in agriculture. After Curtis's death in 1799 his partner William Salisbury kept the garden here until 1808 when he moved it to Sloane Street, Chelsea. He continued to use the ground at Brompton for a nursery, however, until 1829 when he was succeeded there by David Ramsay, whose establishment was known as the Queen's Elm or Swan Lane nursery."

Soc., 1861, (pp 3-51); Notes of a Visit to the Cinchona Forests on the Western slope of the Quiteian Andes, Linn Journal, 1859, (176-192); On the Mountains of Llanganati in the Eastern Cordillera of the Quitonian Andes, offprint (?, or possibly earlier printing, has a few hand corrections) from Royal Geographical Society of London, 1861 (1-21, with folding engraved map, partly colored showing his routes); On the River Purus, a Tributary of the Amazon, no publisher stated, June 13, 1864 (1-13); Notes on the Valleys of Piura and Chira in Northern Peru and on the Cultivation of Cotton Therein, London, Her Majesty's Stationery Office, 1864 (pp 1-81). In addition there is only part of his paper, Report on the Expedition to Procure Seeds and Plants of the Cinchona Succirubra, or Red Bark Tree, London 1861, pages 85-112 only, the rest being removed but pages 104-111 being a note by Spruce on Cinchona Succirubra, Pavon and allied species, dated 1861 and pages 111-112 being a note by Clements R. Markham , respected author who wrote two books on obtaining Cinchona seeds and plants for planting in India to develop a cure for malaria. There is also a paper by Daniel Oliver, 'Descriptions of New Species of Utricularia from South America, 1859 (pp 169-176). Mark Honigsbaum in his book Valverde's Gold, 2004, on the exploration in eastern Ecuador for Incan gold, refers extensively to Spruce's work, especially that on Llanganati Mountains and he reproduced Spruce's map described above in his book but in much reduced size. The manuscript notes in parts of this work may be in Spruce's hand but this is not verified. Spruce was one of the great plant hunters of the Amazon region, collecting over seven thousand botanical specimens, many of which were previously unknown. Spruce was in the Amazon region at the same time as Bates and Wallace, and all three lived on the earnings from specimens sent back to England. In 1860, Spruce collected some 600 cinchona plants and thousands of seeds in Ecuador for raising in India for the production of quinine as a cure for malaria. The Royal Geographical Society elected him an honorary fellow in 1866 for his fine work. The Linnaean Society also made him an associate. Spruce was a great influence on the work of Darwin, Wallace, Richard Schultes and others. The author's 'Notes of a Botanist on the Amazon & Andes; being records of travel on the Amazon and its Tributaries, the Trombeta, Rio Negro, Uapes, etc. . to the Orinoco, the eastern side of the Andes of Peru and Ecuador and the shores of the Pacific during 1849-1864' was published in 1908 after his death, by Alfred Russell Wallace, and remains a classic work of travels in South America and especially Amazonia.
