Pall-Mall, York Street, Strand and Fenchurch Stree: J. Dodsley; S. Baker, G.Leigh et al, 1768. Small octavo, pp (2), 123, a little age-toned but otherwise extremely clean and sound internally, bound in a recent qurter calf and marbled boards with red leather lettering piece on the spine. Armorial bookplate of The Earl of Harrowby. The upper board is a little bowed, but this detracts only a little from a very bright copy indeed. RARE. [Blanche Henrey 1437. De Combles wrote the original anonymously in 1745, when it was the first work on the subject in France. The English edition is also anonymous and Henrey speculates that of the various booksellers mentioned on the title page, "J. Gordon, seedsman, Fenchurch Street" may well have suggested publication if indeed he wasn't the translator.]. First English edition. Quarter calf and boards. Very Good.

Description:
LONDON: Groombridge and Sons A VG copy in the original green decorative cloth binding with gilt plant pictures and titles to front board and spine, and blind stamped decoration to rear board. The boards have bevelled edges. This work is generally attributed to Shirley Hibberd. It is clear from the Preface that it contains work from a number of authors, so it is likely that Hibberd had the editorial role. A number of the colour plates appear in 1870's copies of the Floral World - again edited by Hibberd. It is undated but is probably late 1870's/early1880's. With title page in red and black inks; colour printed frontispiece and 35 further colour printed plates, and numerous black and white illustrations - some full page. The binding is slightly shaken with a little bumping to corners and wear to edges including spine joint edges. The original endpapers are present. The contents are generally very clean apart from the very occasional brown spot. Some of the plant outlines can be seen faintly… Read More
