"an Arrangement of British Plants; According to the Latest Improvements of the Linnaean System with an Introduction to the Study of Botany. "

London: Printed for Cadell and Davies and others, 1818. The Sixth Edition. "Large 8vo. In four volumes, 402pp + 595pp+ 544 (+ index) +481 (+ index). 3/4 leather, marbled boards, uncut. 35 copper engravings, some folding. Boards loose, internally fine. * the first flora of British plants to use Linnaean binomial nomenclature, and the first complete scientific classification and description of British plants in the English language. The first edition of Withering’s British Plants, published in two volumes in 1776, “was little more than a translation of the portions of Linnaeus’s writings relevant to English botany. As Withering acquired more botanical experience, however, his Botanical Arrangement became increasingly based on his first-hand observations. In the last edition published during his lifetime (1796), Withering effected a number of important taxonomic changes in the Linnaean system. He also surveyed the British cryptogams, a class of plants imperfectly described by Linnaeus” (DSB). Withering’s book remained a standard British flora long after his death ""William Withering (1741-1799) discovered the efficacy of digitalis in the treatment of cardiac edema by analyzing a fol k remedy and observing that the active ingredient was found in the common foxglove plant (Digitalis purpurea), which had been used in other herbal remedies for asthma?.Withering not only pointed out t he cases in which it could be prescribed with advantage but also determined the correct dosage.""
