London, MacDonald, 1969 (new edition)/ 1727.

Octavo, xxxii, 216 pages with an illustration (a facsimile title page) plus 19 plates.

Cloth lightly bumped at the foot of the front joint; an excellent copy with the very good price-clipped dustwrapper (the spine a little sunned, and slightly torn and creased at the foot).

One of the History of Science Library: Primary Sources series. This new edition of the early classic of scientific plant physiology corrects a 'number of potentially misleading misprints', and has a 15-page foreword by Michael A. Hoskin.
