Book First Edition
Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Helen Monro (illustrator). First Edition. 1953. First edition. xliii, 95pp. and 6 full-page woodcuts by Helen Monro. The manuscript of this essay on Forest Trees was written in the mid-18th century, and discovered in the library at Mellerstain Castle, and is here printed verbatim for the first time. It gives the results of an early experiment in estate forestry on one of the many landed properties which formed the principal social units in the rural economy of Britain until relatively recent times. The author describes the several species which he planted and gives information about their protection, the preparation of the ground, planting methods and tending. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some patchy light damp fading to the rear board. The spine ends are lightly bumped. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The clipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with light soiling and some foxing. The corners are rubbed and nicked and the spine ends are lightly bumped with a tear of about 3/4" on the top of the front spine edge. The tear has been repaired and the top of the spine reinforced with a strip of tape.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Reprint. 'London, 1824' [False imprint: in fact an undated (1883) reprint]. i-xiii,[2],14-216pp. Rose 2107. Kearney 852/853. §The known nineteenth century versions of Haddington's verse tend to pair him with another similar versifier, in this case his son, Lord Binning. 'The Duke of Argyll's Levee' is attributed to Joseph Mitchell. This is an undated (1883) reprint of the 1824 version, perhaps published by John Camden Hotten. Neatly bound in original or slightly later half-morocco, gilt lettering & decoration, raised bands, top edge gilt, marbled boards. Modern ownership name to fly-leaf. Old bookseller's catalogue entry tipped onto front pastedown. Outer joints a little tender, but holding. In other respects, a very good copy.
