William Robinson - the Wild Gardener
by Bisgrove, Richard
- Used
- very good
- Hardcover
- first
London: Frances Lincoln, 2008. Very well illustrated, large quarto, pp 256, very clean internally, black cloth, a very good copy in a very slightly worn dustwrapper. Very scarce. [In this book Richard Bisgrove analyses William Robinson and his remarkable contribution to gardening. Robinson and Gertrude Jekyll were almost exact contemporaries and each made enormous contributions to the English garden - and so to the gardens of the whole English-speaking and Anglophile world - but in rather different ways. Robinson, more than any other gardener, was responsible for sweeping away the carpet bedding of the Victorians and promoting a more relaxed style using hardy plants. His voluminous writings have been hugely influential. The English Flower Garden (1883) has been described as 'the most widely read and influential gardening book ever written'. The Wild Garden(1870) runs it close. As a man he was something of a paradox - an Irish bachelor who is widely regarded as the father of the English flower garden, a theorist who scorned theorizing and an author who wrote with passion - and simultaneously - about the technicalities of mushroom cultivation and the picturesque treatment of a thousand-acre estate.] . First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good.

First edition.Francisco del Paso y Troncoso, 1842-1916, sixth son in a family of 10 born to Pedro del Paso y Troncoso and Teodora Medina in Veracruz. He was locally educated for a mercantile career, but in 1867 his family sent him to Mexico City to prepare for a future in Medicine. However, through accident and luck, he turned to preparation a history of medicine in Mexico.

His completed parts of aboriginal botany, astronomy and medicine appeared in the MNA Anales. He never finished his thesis or received a degree.

Melbourne: Oxford University Press Australia, October 1988. Hardcover. First Edition. Near Fine book in a Very Good jacket. Interior pristine. Spine straight and tight. Upper corners lightly bumped. Jacket lightly rubbed with a single one inch tear to front bottom edge. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. xiii + 347 pages. Over 300 illustrations. Heavy book: extra charges for expedited or international shipping. Captain Nicolas Baudin's early 19th-century voyage of scientific discovery to Australia is a little-known event in French and Australian history. Yet that voyage played an important part in the history of Australian and Pacific colonization, and in the long story of worldwide scientific exploration. Departing Le Havre in 1800, Baudin's expedition comprised two ships--the Naturaliste and the Géographe--and 238 men, including 22 scientists. For most of the next three-and-a half years they travelled along the western and southern coasts of Australia, charting the coastline and…
