Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Thus. First edition thus. Hardback in dustwrapper, in slipcase. 31 × 19cm, 326pp. Limited to 500 copies. In 1551, William Turner, the Northumbrian-born, Cambridge-educated, and ardently Protestant Dean of Wells, wrote Part I of his New Herball. This book was a landmark in both the history of botany and herbalism: for the first time physicians were able to read in their own language, English, an original study of the plants so vital to their profession. Turner's work broke new ground in its accuracy of observation and in its scientific thoroughness. Indeed, in his lifetime he was responsible for the first observation and identification of some 300 native species. It is little wonder then, that he later earned the title of 'Father of English Botany'. Turner's painstaking identification of herbs and their virtues is fascinating not only for the wealth of botanical and medical information, but also for the fastidious accuracy of his description. His lively and vivid style is not that of the dry pedant, but of a vigorous and energetic scholar, as much at home in the pastures as in the pulpit. This edition contains a facsimile of the beautiful 1551 herbal with its black-letter text and woodcut illustrations. To enable easier reading of the text, the editors have included a modernized transcript, together with keyed-in notes, and a glossary of unfamiliar or obsolete Tudor words. A short biography of Turner has also been included in order to give an idea of the contribution made by this physician, naturalist and cleric to sixteenth-century English history. Today, with the ever-increasing interest in the healing power of herbs, it seems only natural that the pioneering work of one of the greatest physicians of Tudor England should be celebrated in this reprint. Condition: Both book and slipcase are in very good condition, with just a few faint spots of foxing to the pages' top edge.…

Text block a little browned & brittle, rather damp-stained in places. Uncut in orig. drab printed boards; neatly rebacked, a little dusted & rubbed. A sound copy only of a scarce book. Brandreth, 1785-1817, a Luddite stocking-maker, known as 'The Nottingham Captain', was encouraged by a government spy, William Oliver, to lead a march on Nottingham, expecting to be part of a national uprising to overthrow the government. There were 35 defendants; Brandreth, Turner, & Ludlam were convicted of High Treason. They became known as the Pentrich Martyrs as they were not only executed by hanging, but were then beheaded by axe - the last people to be so treated. On the following e.p. in a contemp. hand someone has written 'George Weightman received a reprieve'; he was in fact transported to Australia (along with several other defendants), and died there in 1865.…

Edges worn, front hinge open; paper a bit toned but overall internally near fine.Henry Vizetelly, Printer and engraver, Gough Square, Fleet Street"Plates engraved by Louis Marvy; after Sir Augustus Wall Callcott, J.M.W. Turner, J. Holland, Francis Danby, Thomas Creswick, William Collins, Richard Redgrave, Frederick Richard Lee, George Cattermole, William James Mu?ller, James Duffield Harding, Peter Nasmyth, Richard Wilson, Edward William Cooke, John Constable, Peter De Wint, David Cox, Thomas Gainsborough, David Roberts, and Clarkson Stanfield. Each plate is followed by a short critique by Thackeray. Thackeray was an old friend of Marvy, a French artist, who took refuge in London after the chaos of 1848. Theodore Taylor's 1864 biography of Thackeray mentions the history of the book: "A fine and skillful landscape painter himself, M. Marvy, while here, as a means of earning a living, made a series of engravings after the works of our English landscape painters. The publishers, however, would not undertake the work without a series of letter-press notices of each picture from Thackeray; and the latter accordingly added some criticisms which are interesting as developing his theory of this kind of art" (p.32).
