Half Leather. Zustand: Good. Second edition. Second edition, greatly improved and enlarged. Illustrated with six engraved plates, octavo, pp xxxviii, 527, sadly the plates are heavily foxed which has also affected the neighbouring page, howver the remainder of the text is remarkably clean and very tight and sound; bound in a con…temporary half calf, rubbed, rebacked sympathetically with a new calf spine. lightly tipped-in at the first page is a small advertisement leaf warning of 'sundry ignorant and uneducated persons' attempting to pass themselves off as having been trained by Henry Steuart - this seems to be scarce. [Steuart , 1759 - 1836, was a Scottish landowner, agricultural improver, soldier and classical scholar. Owing to bad health Steuart abandoned most of his literary work, and experiments in arboriculture became the chief interest of his life. In September 1823 a deputation from the Highland and Agricultural Society, which included Sir Walter Scott and Lords Belhaven and Corehouse, visited Allanton, and reported on the improvements effected there by Steuart's system of transplanting large trees. Though he had had to contend with an unfavourable soil and an exposed position, he 'attained at no extraordinary expense the power so long desired of anticipating the slow progress of vegetation, and accomplishing within two or three seasons those desirable changes in the face of nature which he who plants in early youth can, in ordinary cases, only hope to witness in advanced life.' From this time Steuart frequently corresponded with Sir Walter, who imitated several of Steuart's experiments at Abbotsford. When, in 1828, Steuart published this work, Scott reviewed it enthusiastically in the 'Quarterly' (March). When Scott visited Allanton in January 1829, in company with Lockhart, he noted in his journal: 'Sir Henry is a sad coxcomb, and lifted beyond the solid earth by the effect of his book's success. But the book well deserves it.' The book was also favourably reviewed by Southwood Smith in the 'Westminster Review,' by Professor Wilson ('Christopher North') in 'Blackwood's Magazine' (April 1828), and in the 'Edinburgh Review' (March 1829). It had a large circulation in America. In his preface to the second edition Steuart claims to have made the first attempt to apply the principles of physiology to practical arboriculture, and to have created the new science of phytology.

8vo. pp. xlviii, 518, [2]ads. 7 engraved plates (incl. frontis. portrait of the author). A nice copy in original blind & gilt-stamped cloth (spine sunned, light foxing to plate margins & neighbouring leaves). Inscribed on behalf of the author's daughter on half-title. Third Edition. With a memoir of the Author, and his last addi…tions and improvements. Steuart developed a particular method for transporting and transplanting large ornamental trees, which was used successfully throughout Great Britain although it proved to be impractical in America because of the climate. Sir Walter Scott enthusiastically reviewed the present work in the Quarterly when it was first published in 1828, and noted in his journal: "Sir Henry is a sad coxcomb, and lifted beyond the solid earth by the effect of his book's success. But the book well deserves it." cfRaphael, An Oak Spring Sylva, 44.

First Edition. First edition, 8vo, pp. viii, 3-169, [3]; very large (15" x 38") folding genealogical table of the house of Bonkill with long tear (but no loss) in the first panel; original blue paper-covered boards, cream paper shelfback; boards a little soiled, spine worn and with a few small chips, but in all a very good, larg…ely unopened copy. On the front pastedown is the ownership signature of "Earl of Galloway." Steuart (1759-1836) was replying to Andrew Stuart's work, A Genealogical History of the Stuarts (1798); Stuart also wrote a reply to this work. Stuart had contended that as the royal line had failed with the descendants of Stewart of Darnley that the head of all Stewarts or Stuarts was Stuart of Castlemilk, and the he was a Stuart of that clan, and thus the male heir of the family. Sir Henry Steuart asserts the rightfulness of the hitherto uncontested claims of the lineage of the Earl of Galloway, and Galloway is mentioned numerous times in this book. The autograph on the front pastedown is probably that of John Stewart, Seventh Earl of Galloway (1736-1806), who acceded to the Earldom in 1773. He is also remembered as the object of some of Burns's satirical; verses.
