In 1652, Evelyn set about creating the garden at Sayes Court (the 200-acre Deptford estate his father-in-law held from the crown), signaling the start of a serious interest in landscape design. This led to his writing the Elysium Britannicum, an encyclopedic history of gardens and gardening practices that occupied him for most of his life. Silva, his pioneering work on tree cultivation, as well as his book on soils (A Philosophical Discourse of Earth, 1676) were both outgrowths of Elysium Britannicum. Although primarily intended to encourage tree planting after the devastation of the civil war, Silva was also a learned account of the growth and uses of native trees interpolated by an edited collection of materials contributed by fellows of the Royal Society from different parts of the country (Silva was the first book to carry the Society's imprimatur). By its fourth edition it also included "An Historical Account of the Sacredness and Use of Standing Groves." This handsome reissue, with additional plates and with "learned and extensive" (Keynes) annotations, practical instructions, and references to the best eighteenth century authorities by Alexander Hunter, gave S renewed popularity.

Good clean copy.Sixth edition of Evelyn's most important horticultural work and the first official book publication of the Royal Society. In 1652 the diarist and translator John Evelyn (1620-1706) began to create the garden at Sayes Court, a project that signaled the beginning of his serious interest in botany and garden history. He developed an extensive correspondence with gardeners throughout Britain and devoted much of his intellectual energy to horticulture, particularly that of trees. The outcome was this pioneering work, written in part as a protest against the destruction of England's forests being carried out by her glass factories and iron furnaces. The work was influential in establishing a much-needed programme of reforestation that had a lasting effect on the British economy. This 1776 edition is a reprint of the fourth edition (1706) with engr. front. portrait of the author (by F. Bartolozzi), 40 copper-engraved plates by John Miller (1 double-page plate included), letterpress folding table, life of the author, subscribers' list and index.

Edition : First Hunter edition., Contemporary full gilt-lined calf, tastefully rebacked spine in 6 compartments of raised gilt-tooled bands and gilt floral motifs, gilt green morocco label on two, gilt text on six, board edges and inner dentelles gilt-tooled, endpapers marbled. , Alexander Hunter (1729-1809) revised the book in 1776, indicating that "since the first edition of the Silva, in 1664, many improvements have been made in planting, and in every branch of natural knowledge. It, therefore, became my indispensable duty to bring down the improvements to the present time. These make the subject of the Notes, which are drawn from the most respectable authorities" (Hunter, preface, [1]). A very important book on the growth and management of trees in England. Hunter indicates that, "soon after the publication of the Silva, which made its appearance in 1664, under the Auspices of the Royal Society, the Spirit for Planting increased to a high degree; and there is reason to believe that many of our ships which, in the last war, gave laws to the whole world, were constructed from Oaks planted at that time" (Ibid., [3]). John Evelyn was born into a substantial Surrey landowning family. He embarked on a prolonged and formative period of travel in Italy and France, finally coming to rest in Paris in 1647. He soon established himself as one of the foremost virtuosi of his day. Evelyn?s Silva was "the first important book to be published in [Britain] on forest trees. No other work on the arboriculture exerted a greater influence on forestry in this country? and certainly no other book on the subject was so often quoted" (Henrey 101)., Size : Large 4to., Complete with 40 copper-engraved plates, including the frontispiece portrait of the author by Bartolozzi, as well as a folding plate of the Cawthorpe Oak.

First Hunter Edition. Originally published in 1664, Evelyn's Sylva was "the first important book to be published in [Britain] on forest trees.no other work on arboriculture exerted a greater influence on forestry in this country.and certainly no other book on the subject was so often quoted." (Henrey, pp. 101, 108). This 1776 edition, prepared by Dr. Alexander Hunter [1729-1809] of York, virtually doubled the size of the original text, adding extensive annotations, practical instructions, and references to the best eighteenth century authorities, including Linnaeus, Philip Miller, Duhamel du Monceau, Buffon, and Pehr Kalm. There is an excellent account by William Speechly, gardener to the Duke of Portland, describing the method of forming plantations used at Welbeck. According to Hunter the text had been collated with all five of the previous editions and corrected with the help of "some Original Manuscripts". Also notable in this edition are the thirty-six fine plates showing foliage, flowers, and fruits of various types of trees, drawn and engraved by John Miller (Johann Sebastian Müller). Other plates include a 'Winter View of the Cawthorpe Oak', near Wetherby, Yorkshire, engraved by Miller after a drawing by William Burgh, and two views of the famous Greendale Oak at the Duke of Portland's estate engraved by Thomas Vivares and A.Rooker after drawings made in 1775 by Samuel Hieronymus Grimm.

First Hunter edition, the sixth overall, establishing Evelyn's pioneering work as a perennial classic. First published in 1664 and intended to encourage tree planting after the devastation of the civil war, it was republished in response to a a similar emergency, caused by the American War of Independence, in which Britain's shipbuilders lost access to their best timber reserves. During the conflicts of the 1640s and 1650s, the need for glass and iron increased rapidly, but the wood used to fire the furnaces and factories was not being replaced by fresh planting. This led to a serious shortage of wood from which the navy could construct ships. Sylva played a major role in promoting afforestation as a solution to the crisis and was Evelyn's most important work published in his lifetime, his famous diary not appearing until 1818. Hunter (1729-1809), a physician who founded the York Asylum, shared with Evelyn the concept of the amateur scientist as a genteel member of a learned profession whose interests were not bounded by occupation.
