Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition (xxxi, 480) with two engraved plates (System of Botany, Elevation of Greenhouse). Octavo, in modern brown three-quarter leather over marbled paper covered boards, five raised bands, gilt lettering and titles to spine, matching endpapers. The breathless title relieves me of the responsibility of summarizing the contents of this scarce book by a 'Nusery-man of Glocester'; Fussell (More, 68) makes passing reference, noting the nursery, at least, did well enough and was still being carried on by a daughter into the 1820's. A handsome modern binding and a clean text. A very nice copy indeed of a scarce work.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Volume 1 and 2 4to hardcover bindings with leather spines. Spines intact not cracked. Some wear to spines and boards but should polish up a lot. Endpapers not marked or cracked. Contents very clean no foxing and almost no offsetting. Everything tight pages nice and white. Around 175 plates not numbered.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 3 vols 1816, complete with 240 plates, 237 hand coloured. Contemporary full calf, rubbed at edges, old reback, with original leather overlaid. A very good clean copy, without foxing or inscriptions.

Three volume set with 240 fine copper engraved plates of which 237 are hand-coloured and three are b/w. (as published), with the Dictionary of Botanical terms and Index at end of Vol. III. 8vo. Hardbacks. AEG. Contents in near fine condition. Contemporary full, straight grain, leather binding, with richly decorated spines and borders, gently rubbed, o/w. nr. fine. A very pleasing set indeed. 'This work is intended to be a complete illustration of the Linnaean system of Botany'. It was published in both coloured and un-coloured issues.

First edition. Three volumes. 8vo. xxvii, [1, blank], 196; [2], [197]-400; [2], [401]-549, [1, bank], [84, 'A Dictionary of Botanical Terms'], [18, 'General Index] pp., with 240 hand-coloured engraved plates. Contemporary full straight-grain dark green morocco, spines with five raised bands outlined in gilt, second and fourth panels lettered in gilt, the rest with attractive gilt ornaments within gilt frames, covers elaborately panelled with gilt and blind fillet borders and floral gilt roll-tooling, blue endpapers, edges in gilt (occasional faint spotting, mostly restricted to the preliminaries and terminal leaves, some occasional faint offsetting from plates, contents otherwise generally clean; extremities slightly worn, headcaps rubbed, spines only slightly faded, some minor surface wear to covers, notwithstanding a very attractive copy). London, T. Bensley. A handsomely bound copy of this copiously illustrated popular introduction to the Linnaean classification system of botany issued in coloured and uncoloured states, here in its more desirable coloured issue. Provenance: near contemporary ownership inscriptions of 'F.A. Crooke' and 'Catherine Post' to front free endpapers of each volume. Pencilled annotations to the list of plates at the front of the first volume, neat pencilled marginal highlighting to the Dictionary of Botanical Terms bound at the rear of the third volume in an early hand.
