Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Volume1 only of a three volume set. Leather binding, rebacked with original boards. It appears to have been done perhaps in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century with five raised bands and labels on the second and fourth (from top) compartments and gold stamped decorations in the other compartments. The two front and two rear end papers have been replaced. The front free paper is creased along the fold and top two inches are torn, but the rest of the page is still attached. ; Volume 1 only of a three volume set. This volume consists of 12 chapters, including his "History of Gardening" which is considered the first comprehensive written history of gardening in England, essays on the importance of precipitation and sunlight on vegetation, directions in raising trees, planting instructions and embellishments in country gardens. At the end of the book is a 16 page index of the first volume. There are two copper plates in this volume- frontispiece illustation of a nobleman's garden and a five fold plate (four vertical folds and one horizontal fold) opposite page 283. The plates are in nice shape- the folding plate is complete with no tears. ; frontispiece and fold-out plate; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; xlv, 352, [16] p. pages; A previous owner has written extensive notes (mostly in ink) on the end pages and in the margins of many of the pages of the text. The notations refer to planting instructions, classical writings referred to by Switzer and also the writer's own views on nature and gardening. An inscription on the front free end paper is dated 1912.
