| COBBETT, WILLIAM. The American Gardener: A Treatise on the Situation, Soil, and Laying Out of Gardens . . . New York:, Orange Judd & Co.,, No date, ca. 1870., Reprint, Hardcover. Hardback 16mo, about 6 inches tall, in blind stamped brown cloth with gilt spine titles. 230 pages illustrated by a couple of layout plans. First published in England in 1819, this edition was produced by the premier American agricultural publisher of the late 19th century. Although usually known for decorative cloth bindings, this book is not particularly impressive. It is however a nice copy with just light extremity wear; boards just a little bowed; previous owner name in pencil dated 1868; a little light foxing to the first few and last few leaves; and general modest toning to the text. Otherwise clean and soundly bound. Very good. USD 72.20 [Appr.: EURO 48 | £UK 43.75 | JP¥ 6209] Book number: 7775 Click here to order or inquire at The Gallagher Collection. | ||
