Description:
London: John Murray, 1850. New edition. Small square octavo, pp xvi, 144, (4). + publisher's catalogue 8 pages, with 12 lithographed plates, delicately hand-coloured, all edges gilt, very clean internally, a contemporary signature on the front endpaper [Charles H. Hingeston, 1852], original blind-stamped cloth, gilt lettering on upper cover, slightly faded, a little worn at the corners, very neatly re-backed with a modern cloth spine, unlettered. Still a very pleasing copy of a work which is difficult to find in good condition. [In many ways a ground-breaking work, as was much of Mantell's opus. It alerted the Victorians to an aspect of natural history which had previously largely escaped them, and was a remarkable precursor to the germ theory.]. Cloth. Very Good.

LANDSCAPE GARDENING
Two in a series published at the suggestion of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
A. REPTON, HUMPHRY. THE ART OF LANDSCAPE GARDENING. Edited by John Nolen. Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin (1907). 8vo, cloth and boards, paper spine label. Very good copy, corners bumped. Color frontispiece with overlay plus 22 plates, some with overlays , and 28 figures in the text, which includes Sketches and Hints on Landscape Gardening and Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening. The overlays (moveable flaps) reproduce Repton's before-and-after drawings.
Designed by Bruce Rogers. Haas 75. $250
B. PÃœCKLER-MUSKAU, PRINCE VON. HINTS ON LANDSCAPE GARDENING. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1917. 8vo, cloth and boards, paper spine label. Second in the Series. Edited and with an introduction by Samuel Parsons. Edges worn, small stain on front cover; internally fine.
With 39 illustrations, maps, plans and two large folding plates in front and back pockets which show the Prince's grounds before and after his improvements.
This work evolved from Pückler-Muskau's experience in developing his estate between 1815 and 1844. He visited the United States and lived for years in England at a time of great changes in landscape architecture initiated by Lancelot Brown and Humphry Repton, who influenced his emphasis on natural and picturesque beauty . In turn, Charles Eliot, the American landscape designer, visited his estate in 1886. $250

Manchester: R. & W. Dean, 1799. First edition. Two parts in one volume, octavo, pp viii, 1-227, (i), second title page, 229-449, (i), slight age-toning and the very odd fox-mark, but really very clean internally, contemporary tree calf, slightly worn at the corners, re-backed with a new calf spine, the original label preserved. A rare work, and especially so with its second title page preserved; this was frequently discarded because of the continuous pagination. [Soulsby - add. 772. Blanche Henry 861 - "Hull took up botany as a relaxation from medical duties". She also comments that of the other edition, the second of 1808, only the first part exists.]. [John Hull, M.D., was born at Poulton in Lancashire in 1764, and received his medical education at Leyden, where he graduated doctor of medicine 18th May, 1792. He settled at Manchester, and devoted himself especially to the practice of midwifery, and held the appointment of physician to the Lying-in Hospital there. He was admitted an…

And will the ice ages return, covering the continents with glaciers as they did twenty thousand years ago?
