Printed by Morrill, Silsby, & Co. for) L. Hamilton, Concord, N.H. et. al: 1842., 1842 270 p. [Lacks last leaf of index] + Four woodcut plates. 12mo. Original full leather binding. Early ownership of E. L. Halstead. A popular and influential garden book by this famous writer, reformer, "muck-raker" and politician. Cobbett wrote the book "to cause the art of gardening to be better understood and practiced than it now is in America." William Cobbett (1762-1835), the son of a peasant f armer, makes clear his attitude toward gardeners in the preface: "The inside of a labourer's house, his habits, his qualities as a workman, and almost his morality, may be judged from the appearance of his garden. If that be neglected, he is, nine times out of ten, a sluggard or a drunkard, or both." The American Gardener was later revised and published as The English Gardener (London, 1829). **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W130. Language: eng. Full Leather. Hardcover. Very Good.

The Scotsman, John Claudius Loudon (1783-1843), was the most eminent early 19th century expert on landscapes, gardening, and agriculture. At the age of 20 he visited London and was shocked by the gloomy trees and plantings in the public squares. He published an article, "Observations on Laying out the Public Squares of London" in the Literary Journal, in which he recommended the Oriental plane, almond, sycamore, and other lighter trees, instead of the lugubrious plantings that had hitherto been in vogue.
