An attractively illustrated work on poisonous plants growing in the Netherlands. The publisher Sulpke bought some plates from Aimé Henry in Bonn, used for his book 'Die Giftpflanzen Deutschlands'.

Amsterdam, C. G. Sulpke, 1836. 8vo (22.5 x 13.2 cm). 198 pp.; 30 originally hand-coloured lithographed plates. Original printed boards. = This excellent, well-illustrated monograph by the Dutch botanist of German descent, Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel (1811-1871) is one of the first books on poisonous plants of the Netherlands and describes over 190 plants with analysis of their toxic properties. As Landwehr (p. 146) points out, this is the only edition and there is no folio edition as erroneously reported by Pritzel and Nissen. "Noord-Nederland" should be read as the whole of The Netherlands as it is today. Light damp stain on the bottom of the first few text pages, but not obtrusive and otherwise a very good copy, all plates clean. Rare in the original printed boards, which are in a very good state - hardly rubbed at all. Landwehr, 140; Nissen BBI, 6257; Stafleu and Cowan 6088.

Ad 1: [1], [3 blank], 145, [3 blank] pp.; [3], 10, [10], [5 blank] ll., both written primarily on the rectos. Ad 2: 198, [2 blank] pp.Manuscript, apparently by the author, of one of the first printed books on Dutch poisonous plants and one of the earliest works of the eminent botanist Friedrich Miquel, giving detailed descriptions and discussing the toxic properties of nearly 200 species: flowering plants, mushrooms, grasses and berries, including belladonna and some species of nightshade. It covers both indigenous species and foreign species grown in Dutch gardens and for most species gives the Latin, Dutch, French, English, German and sometimes other names, the Linnaean class, a physical description, locations and seasons, medicinal properties and a description of the symptoms of its poisoning. It is one of Miquel s earliest works, printed in 1836-1837, and was intended primarily for physicians and laymen. Though first published at Amsterdam in 1836 as De Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen (with the title matching the present manuscript except that the last word is spelled "gewassen"), the author signed his foreword from Rotterdam, September 1836. The text of the first edition closely matches the present manuscript, but adds the foreword and references to the engraved plates. The manuscript, like the first edition, refers to an 1835 publication. A second edition appeared in 1838.Loosely inserted in the bound manuscript is a second manuscript, probably somewhat later but in what appears to be the same hand. Its title-page bears only the single word Pharmacie, it appears to be unpublished, is written on unwatermarked wove paper and collates: [A]12 [B]16 = 28 ll., with B12-16 blank. It may therefore be an unpublished pharmacological work by Miquel. The manuscript volume is here offered together with the first edition of De Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen. The preface of this text volume notes that all 30 plates were produced by the acclaimed lithographic artist and printer Aimé Henry in Bonn, some originally for Henry s Die Giftpflanzen Deutschlands and some newly made for the present work. The printed edition of the Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen with an owner s inscription on the half-title and an annotation and underlining in the margin and text on p. 9. The binding of this volume is worn and some pieces of paper are missing on the spine, especially at the bottom and around the hinges. Some foxing and browning throughout the book, although a copy with the original publisher s binding. A beautiful set of two complementing volumes, not only containing the first edition of Miquel s book on Dutch poisonous plants, but also the manuscript of this work together with another rare, unpublished pharmalogical manuscript.l Ad 2: Ekama I, p. 373; Landwehr, Coloured plates 140; Nissen BBI 1388; Pritzel 6257; Stafleu & Cowan 6088.
