1759019062Edinburgh: R. Fleming 1759. Octavo pp iv 412 some age-toning throughout the title page and the final page rather foxed otherwise extremely firm and tight internally with no tears rebound in a very smart dark green quarter morocco and marbled boards. Blanche Henrey 878. 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. First Edition. Quarter leather. Very Good. R. Fleming Hardcover
1795017372The Strand London & Edinburgh: T. Cadell & W. Davies; Bell & Bradfute 1795. Second edition.

Blanche Henrey 1000. RARE - a good wide-margined copy. Second edition of the work which brought MacPhail's forcing frame and controversial method of cultivation to the public view. McPhail was gardener to Lord Hawkesbury at Addiscombe Place in Surrey. The brick frame was of his own design and a notable feature of this book is the detailed weather observations covering a complete year together with the precise treatment given to the plants on each day. The frame proved immensely popular and within 40 years Rogers 1839 was to state " an excellent invention that has certainly rendered the forcing of this vegetable more simple.there are few gentleman's gardens and few principal market gardens without them". . Second edition. Half cloth and boards. Very Good. T. Cadell & W. Davies; Bell & Bradfute Hardcover

1752019969The Bible & Crown St Paul's Churchyard: John & James Rivington for the author 1752. Sixth edition carefully revised and adapted to the present day. Folio an engraved allegorical frontispiece and nine engraved plates a light marginal staining at the bottom inner corner of the first ten pages repeated a couple of times later a tear to the last page of the preface and another on a later page both without loss the title page a little creased the hinge between the dedication page and the preface is cracking but without any weakness otherwise quite clean and sound internally full contemporary calf very rubbed and scuffed with surface abrasion but still sound rebacked with a later calf spine probably nineteenth century torn at the spine head with a morocco title label. Bound in at the front is a second frontispiece - The Genius of Botany - drawn by S. Hale and engraved by C. Grignion; this is smaller in format than the book and the only reference I can find is that it acts as the frontispiece to Hill's "Eden" though it seems too small for that work. It is a little creased and lacking part of it's margin. Blanche Henrey 1110. An important edition as it is the last to contain pre-Linnean nomenclature. Includes the Index latinus the lengthy catalogues of plants The Gardeners Kalendar and the Appendix. Sixth edition. Full-Leather. Good. John & James Rivington for the author Hardcover
1791017068St Paul's Churchyard London: J. Johnson 1791. Two volumes bound in one. Volume 1 - Second edition 1791. Volume 2 - Third edition 1791. Blanche Henrey 470 . Illustrated with two engraved allegorical frontispieces 18 engraved plates one of them folding - the Cypripedium plate which is often lacking - and two hand-coloured quarto pp xii 214 126 ii; x 197 both frontispieces and title pages browned and with some offsetting from plate to title the plates of the Portland Vase and the Fertilisation of Egypt similar this last plate by Blake after Fuseli; the remaining botanical plates clean lacking the corner of page 171/2 a relevant pencilled note at the base of one page a few pages with foxing but otherwise very clean and sound internally with the armorial bookplate of the Dowdeswell family Pull Court Worcestershire on the front endpaper together with a shelf label and a small newspaper clipping; the hand-colouring on the two plates is particularly attractive and there is also an extra engraved plate fixed to the verso of the first titlepage - a portrait of Darwin engraved by Haughton after Rawlinson - this has caused a little waving of the paper; contemporary full calf a little rubbed and scuffed rebacked the old spine laid down and with some wrinkling. Still a good sound copy. The first poem The Economy of Vegetation celebrates technological innovation scientific discovery and offers theories concerning contemporary scientific questions such as the history of the cosmos. The more popular Loves of the Plants promotes revises and illustrates Linnaeus's classification scheme for plants. One of the first popular science books the intent of The Botanic Garden is to pique readers' interest in science while educating them at the same time. By embracing Linnaeus's sexualized language which anthropomorphizes plants Darwin intended to make botany interesting and relevant to the readers of his time. Darwin emphasizes the connections between humanity and plants arguing that they are all part of the same natural world and that sexual reproduction is at the heart of evolution ideas that his grandson Charles Darwin would later turn into a full-fledged theory of evolution. This evolutionary theme continues in The Economy of Vegetation which contends that scientific progress is part of evolution and urges its readers to celebrate inventors and scientific discoveries in a language usually reserved for heroes or artistic geniuses. Darwin's attempt to popularize science and to convey the wonders of scientific discovery and technological innovation through poetry helped initiate a tradition of popular science writing that continues to the present day.

Weston was originally a thread-hosier of Leicester but in some of his anonymous works describes himself as "a country gentleman". In 1773 he was living at Kensington Gore but later was living at Leicester where he was secretary of the local agricultural society. From the number of his published works it is evident he had a very wide knowledge of plants and plant literature. Blanche Henrey 1490 - "Richard Weston 1733-1806 appears to have had an excellent knowledge of nursery gardening and nurserymen's sale catalogues. He was interested in agriculture and all forms of horticulture and he also made a study of horticultural and botanical literature.Weston's first important published work appeared in 1769 anonymously. This was his Tracts on practical agriculture and gardening. At the end of this volume and in subsequent editions of the work is a very useful 'Catalogue of English authors.on husbandry gardening botany and subjects relative thereto''. This catalogue is greatly extended in this rare second edition. Second edition. Half-Leather. Good. S. Hooper, 25 Ludgate-Hill Hardcover
