Erstausgabe
First edition of this "practical, well-written and beautifully printed manual" (Gabler, citing Edward Hyams), which proved to have long lasting popularity, with two further editions appearing in 1805 and 1821; this copy from the library of William Thomas Salvin, who owned the manor of Burn Hall in Durham from 1806, with his signature to both the half-title and title dated 1798. William Speechly (c.1740-1821) was gardener to the third Duke of Portland at his estate Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Encouraged by the Duke he started writing down and publishing his knowledge and experience in gardening, and already in 1776 he had contributed to Alexander Hunter's edition of Evelyn's Silva, which was shortly followed by his own Treatise on the Culture of the Pineapple (1779). In the present work Speechly describes 50 species of grapes, and thoroughly examines hothouse culture, the construction and management of vineyards, pruning, irrigation, grafting, insect and blight control. Bibliotheca Vinaria, p. 50; Bitting, pp. 444-5; ESTC T147498; Gabler G37890; Henrey 1376; Simon, Bibliotheca Gastronomica, p. 132. Quarto. Original boards, rebacked to style, white paper title label printed in black to spine, untrimmed edges, partly unopened. Illustrated with 5 numbered engraved plates (3 folding). Minor marking and rubbing to boards, extremities restored, small chip to bottom forecorner of title page, some foxing; a very good copy.

[4], 224; VIII, 371, [1] pp.First editions of two major works on horticulture.Ad 1: William Speechly (ca. 1740-1821), was gardener to William Henry Cavendish Bentinck, third Duke of Portland, at his estate Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Encouraged by the Duke he started writing down and publishing his knowledge and experience in gardening, and already in 1776 he contributed to Alexander Hunter's edition of Evelyn's 1664 Silva. In the present work Speechly describes 50 species of grapes, and discusses in depth greenhouse culture, the construction and management of vineyards in open air, pruning, irrigation, grafting, insect and blight control, etc., herewith laying the foundation for great improvements in English viticulture. Two views in the book show a giant vine growing at the front of a house at Northallerton, and an English vineyard against a hill.Ad 2: William Forsyth (1737-1804), was superintendent of the Chelsea Gardens, and from 1784 of the Royal Gardens at Kensington and St. James. He was a Fellow of the Linnean and Antiquarian Societies, and one of the founders of the Horticultural Society of London. His works greatly contributed to the progress and success of hardy fruit growing. The Forsyth book is printed on J[ames] Whatman wove paper, some dated 1794 and 1801.Although the margins of both works are quite large (3 to 5 cm) the ESTC suggests that the Speechly is an ordinary paper copy (it is at least largely on unwatermarked wove paper). Old owner's name at head of title-pages. Binding shows some signs of wear, slight foxing and browning, mainly to the first and last few leaves, otherwise in good condition.l Ad 1: ESTC T147498 (cf. T147497); Henrey III, 1376. Ad 2: cf. Hunt, p. XXXVII; Pritzel 2985.
