1819016708London: Longman Hurst Rees Orme & Brown 1819. the title continues: "to which is now added the culture of the cucumber; the plan of a lately invented brick frame for forcing fruits flowers and esculent vegetables without the influence of fire-heat". Second edition. Illustrated with one folding plate a plan of a forcing frame small octavo pp xxxvi 428 errata leaf edges untrimmed original boards rubbed and a little worn recently re-backed with paper spine and label. There is offsetting from the plate to the opposite page of text and some foxing to the plate and occasionally throughout the book but this is not heavy. The section on vine cultivation has seven pages on which some instructions have been underlined in ink but this has been done so neatly that it almost looks as though it it part of the printing. Bound in at the front is a 12 page bookseller's catalogue. This is an uncut and unpressed copy and as close to its original state is is likely to be found. A great copy. Loudon referred to MacPhail as "an excellent grower of pines and melons" but it is perhaps for his culture of cucumbers that he is best remembered. His brick forcing frame illustrated in this work was described by Rogers 1839 as " 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". He was gardener to Lord Hawkesbury at Addiscombe Place Croydon for nearly twenty years. Second edition. Boards. Very Good. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown Hardcover

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
