SHAW (James)MareMagnum

Plans, Elevations, and Sections; with Observations and Explanations, of Forcing-Houses, in Gardening. By James Shaw, Gardener to the Right Hon. Lord Mulgrave.

First edition, large folio (520 x 355 mm), [32]pp., with a list of subscribers, and an initial leaf stating "Entered at stationers' Hall", 11 engraved plates (some lightly offset), each with explanatory leaf, with an original watercolour sketch for a heating device loosely inserted, occasional lightly foxing, orig. quarter calf, marbled boards, a very nice copy in original condition. Little is known of James Shaw, other than he was head gardener at Mulgrave Caslte, North Yorkshire, and this appears to be his only published work. He dedicates the book to his Patron and employee the Right Honourable Henry, Lord Mulgrave and states in his advertisement "Gardening at this period, is an object of general pursuit, from its useful and admirable effects. The most elegant and superior branch of it, is that of forcing fruit, which are natives of warmer climates; and the perfection of them, in some measure, depends upon proper constructed forcing-houses for the reception. I was therefore induced, from an unremitted application of Practice and Theory, commenced at an early period, to offer the following Plans, &c, to the Public; which may enable any Gentleman to be his own architect, in the most important part of the science alluded to, and also accommodate the practical Gardener, who may not have had an opportunity of acquiring this part of Theory: and, I trust, this work (which I believe to be the only general one yet published) will not be unacceptable to the admirers of Horticulture; particularly those who are, or may be in the future, interested in such improvements." The first seven plates depict a different design for constructing stoves and heated walls for the said appropriate fruit (i.e. the melon, the peach and nectarine, the vinery, pine and vine and the winter-fruiting pine stove), these are followed by four designs for the conservatory and the green-house. Each plate is accompanied by an explanatory leaf which also includes instructions on how to variegate the amount of heat used and the best way of propagating different fruits or vegetables. Several of the designs are after those already in use at Mulgrave Castle. Provenance: Signed by William Thomas Salvin (of Croxdale Hall, Durham) at head of title-page, Salvin is included in the list of subscribers. Not in Henrey, RIBA, Archer or Harris. An extremely rare book which has not appeared at auction for the last 50 years.

Loudon, J. C.MareMagnum

ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM; Or, The Trees And Shrubs Of Britain. In Eight Volumes.

Eight Volumes. Volumes 5, 6, 7 and 8 are plate volumes. Wonderfully illustrated. Bookplate of R. B. Wardlaw Ramsay. 8vo. Original full cloth bindings embossed in blind. Volume one missing spine. 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!
