Agricola, M.D. And Doctor in Philosophy at Ratisbonne. Translated from the High-Dutch, with Remarks: And Adorn'd with Cuts. The Whole Revised and Compared with the Original, Together with a Preface, Confirming This New Method, by Richard Bradley, Fellow of the Royal Society. ; Printed for P. Vaillant in the Strand

London, printed for P. Vaillant in the Strand, and W. Mears and F. Clay without Temple-Bar, 1721. Half-Calf. First Edition in English of the "first treatise on cuttings and graftings." (Hunt) Demy 4to (276 x 214mm): [24],300,[4]pp, with 31 (i.e. 33: in the numbering of plates, XXIII and XXVIII are repeated) engraved plates inserted on 22 sheets (some folding); head- and tail-pieces and historiated initials. Recent half calf over marbled boards, spine in sic compartments divided by gilt-ruled raised bands, small gilt ornaments, red morocco lettering piece gilt, title page printed in red and black, end papers renewed. An excellent example, beautifully bound to period style, generally fresh and bright (occasional light spotting and dust-soiling), with excellent impressions of the plates. Henrey II, 443-46 and III, 411. Hunt II, 452. First published in two volumes in German ("High-Dutch"), in 1716, as Neu-und nie erhörter doch in der Natur und Vernunfft wohlgegründeter Versuch der Universal- Vermehrung aller Bäume, Stauden, und Blumen-Gewächse, and soon afterward translated into French (1720), Dutch (1719), and this English edition. A key gardening text, in which Agricola announced a new method of propagating plants, by grafting twigs to roots of the same species and sealing the graft with a turpentine and pitch plaster he called "vegetable mummy." His text also explains "many Useful Secrets in Nature, for helping the Vegetation of Trees and Plants, and for fertilizing the most Stubborn Soils." The plates, reproduced from first German edition, illustrate Agricola's procedures, which were used by fruit growers for years. Richard Bradley (1688?-1732) was appointed first professor of botany at Cambridge in 1724. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition.

An Archaeology of Natural Places

London, Routledge, (2000). orig.wrappers. 23x15cm, xi,177 pp. PAPERBACK.. Textual maps & photos.. ISBN: 0415221501. Minor rubbing. VG.
¶ This volume explores why natural places such as caves, mountains, springs and rivers assumed a sacred character in European prehistory, and how the evidence for this can be analysed in the field. It shows how established research on votive deposits, rock art and production sites can contribute to a more imaginative approach to the prehistoric landscape, and can even shed light on the origins of monumental architecture. The discussion is illustrated through a wide range of European examples, and three extended case studies. An Archaeology of Natural Places extends the range of landscape studies and makes the results of modern research accessible to a wider audience, including students and academics, field archaeologists, and those working in heritage management" - publisher's description.

The Gregg Press Ltd, 1964.1st edition thus.Hard covers, no dust jacket.V.g./No Jacket.Ex-library copy with cancelled bookplate, shelfmark on spine etc.The editor has selected Bradley's writings on succulent plants from two of his major compendia and appended them to Bradley's major work, translated as ""A history of succulent plants"" (facsimile of the first edition, which is very rare in a complete state).Rowley's introduction not only sets Bradley's pioneering work on applied botany into context, with a short bibliography, but also collates and re-identifies the plants illustrated in the Historia Plantarum Succulentarum (1716-27).The 'flier' for this work, published in 1710, is also included, though the facsimile here is of lower quality.The book bears only the original pagination.The plate of Aloe americana is printed on a fold-out.Each fascicle of the major work is dedicated to a different patron: respectively Robert Balle FRS, Sir Hans Sloane PRS, Charles Dubois Esq. Dr Sherrard Ll.D. FRS [evidently William Sherard, 1659-1728, as he is described as ""late consul at Smyrna""] and Sir Charles Wager.In English & Latin.1 kg.
