About The Book: Nature in each zone of the earth has peculiar beauties, whether it be in the sunny isles of the South Sea, under the cool shade of the northern oaks, in the lovely well-watered mountain valleys, on the picturesque glaciers of the higher ranges, or in the midst of the Lybian deserts. But nature is silent to the unobservant man, and that rich spring of enjoyment escapes him, which has power to delight and cheer us, even when suffering from the severest blows of fate.If we ask ourselves, what it peculiarly is, by which Nature speaks to us, we shall find that it is indeed by the whole aspect of the earth’s surface ; but that it is chiefly its living covering, the presence or absence of vegetation, that makes so deep an impression on our minds. The whole mass of species of plants is in a certain proportion to the different latitudes of the earth’s surface. The proportion increases as we approach the equator, and decreases as we remove from it. The Title 'Outlines of the Geography of Plants written/authored/edited by F.J. F.

Second edition, folio, half-title, [2], 56 (pages 29-32 misbound after page 36), [2, errata leaf]pp. 57 lithographed plates, orig. boards, rubbed at extremities, with a rather crude cloth reback. The second edition of these interesting and beautiful designs for landscaped gardens, by Gabriel Thouin (1747-1829), brother of the celebrated botanist Andr? Thouin to whom the work is dedicated. Strongly influenced by contemporary English garden designs and the idea of the "picturesque", these parks are noteworthy for their elegance and ease which retains some of the great French tradition of formal gardening. There are designs for municipal and private parks and also for fruit gardens, orangeries, vegetable plantations etc. The margins of the plates, beautifully lithographed by C. Motte, show designs for buildings meant to adorn the gardens; among the more exotic there are several ruins, both classical and mediaeval, Chinese pavilions, arabic coffee houses, pagodas and a host of other small buildings and garden ornaments.

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.
