Erstausgabe
360 x 222 mm. (14 x 8 3/4"). 12 p.l., 456 [i.e. 452] pp. (4L2v is numbered 316-320). Contemporary calf, covers with gilt roll frame, oblique floral cornerpieces, rebacked in olive-brown calf, raised bands flanked by scrolling gilt rolls, panels with decorative gilt centerpiece, red morocco label, marbled endpapers and edges (neat repairs to head edge and to corners). With engraved frontispiece, five small engravings in the text, and two engraved plates of plants. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Charles Gresley; pp. 286, 288-290 with contemporary ink annotations to (folded) fore margins. Henrey 945; ESTC T146573. â Boards with a number of small abrasions, but the restored binding sound, and perfectly agreeable; isolated faint dust-soiling to head margins, other trivial imperfections, but the text in very fine condition, especially clean, crisp, and bright, and with ample margins. Very fresh and bright internally, especially for a book expected to incur use in an unprotected context, this practical and comprehensive work would have been an indispensable resource for any 18th century husbandman interested in raising livestock and cultivating trees, vegetables, and fruit. Although the frontispiece depicts the stately Richmond home of the Prince of Wales, with its manicured grounds and rows of neatly spaced trees, the contents are just as useful to the everyman, including "Husbandman, Grazier, Planter, Gardener, and Florist." John Laurence (1668-1752) was a fellow at Cambridge before becoming rector of Yelvertoft, Northamptonshire, where he developed a passion for horticulture while renewing a dilapidated garden there (DNB tells us he was especially skilled at growing pears). Laurence wrote three books on the pleasures of gardening while living in Yelvertoft; he later moved to Bishopwearmouth, Durham, where he wrote the present work--his last and, according to Henrey, "most ambitious literary project." The author explains how to improve and maintain the land in book I, with advice on planting crops and raising different kinds of livestock, from cattle to silkworms. He even devotes a few chapters to using land for mines and quarries, revealing the "hidden Treasures, which lie couched in Nature's Bowels." Book II is devoted to forest and timber trees, and books III-V offer a catalogue of fruit trees, vegetables, and decorative plants to grow in the Fruit Garden, Kitchen Garden, and Flower-Garden, respectively. This is a pleasurable book to leaf through, being wonderfully clean throughout, and accessible to the modern reader, with familiar plants that might be growing in one's backyard today. FIRST EDITION. One of 1,000 copies (according to Bowyer's ledgers, per ESTC).

FIRST EDITION, with half title and 2 pages of advertisements at end, title page in red and black; a little soiling to the end endpapers and half-title, but else a very clean crisp copy; pp. [4], xi, [1], 372, [4, ads], 8vo; contemporary speckled calf, spine with gilt device in compartments and raised bands, red edges; spine ends scuffed and upper joint a little tender but very good. Bradley was an English naturalist, elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1712, at the age of 24. In 1714 he visited the Netherlands where he took an interest in horticulture. Back in England, he worked at Cannons, Middlesex, the estate of James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos. Bradley's employer was a wealthy man with an interest in the cultivation of exotic plants such as the pineapple. Bradley's responsibilities at Cannons included the hot-house and the physic garden, but he was dismissed for financial mismanagement. In 1724 he was appointed the first Professor of Botany at Cambridge University, where he indicated that he wished to establish a botanical garden, but he died in office without the project having made any progress. His works include A General Treatise of Husbandry & Gardening, which was published in a monthly version. He also wrote about cookery, and was the first to publish a pineapple recipe in English. The advertisements at the end are for similar works, as well as a country housewife's director. Goldsmiths' 6507.

Erstausgabe
First edition of the author's magnum opus, with the bookplate to the title verso of Thomas Hamilton, 6th Earl of Haddington (1680-1735), a pioneer in Scottish agricultural improvement. Hamilton was "one of the first of the Scottish nobles and lairds who improved the amenity of their estates in the eighteenth century with the planting of trees, and who carried out afforestation on a large scale as a form of capital investment" (Henrey). He wrote A Treatise on the Manner of Raising Forest Trees, published in 1761 following his death. John Laurence (1668-1732) wrote four books on gardening and husbandry, all based on his transformation of the neglected garden at Yelvertoft. This is his longest and most substantial treatise, providing an extensive system of improving land both for farmers and for gardeners. He argues in favour of enclosure, presenting it as a step towards improving tillage and pasture farming, and as allowing fencing and ditching. He contends this will be to the benefit of the poor by providing employment. ESTC T146573; Goldsmiths' 6436; Hanson 3561; Henrey 945. Folio (350 x 223 mm). Contemporary panelled calf, orange morocco label, edges sprinkled red. With frontispiece and 2 plates. Head of spine restored, minor superficial splits to joints, neat reinforcement to inner hinges; an attractive, clean copy.
