London 1670 [but 1669]. Second edition, folio, (xlviii), 171, 170-247, (5), 67, (1), 33, (3) pp, complete with the inserted leaf showing a missing table inserted between pp170-1, engraved arms to title, some light marginal browning, contemporary calf, rebacked with new endpapers, gilt tooling, red morocco label, a very good copy. First published in 1664 as a result of a series of Royal Society papers and discussions stemming from the shortage of timber for ship-building, this was the first serious English work on the subject, and one which proved hugely influential down the centuries. Two appendices, “Pomona” - concerning cider production; and his popular “Kalendarium Hortense” are included, with separate title pages. The latter was reprinted many times separately but the former never appeared on its own. Henrey I 133.
