About This Item
Edinburgh: Archibald Constable & Co Ltd, 1812. Second edition. Octavo, pp xxii, 646, faintly marbled edges, rather strong age-toning on many pages, no real foxing apart from a little on the title page, the joint at the first blank slightly cracked but not weak, otherwise very tight and sound internally, contemporary half calf and marbled board, rubbed and slightly worn, the spine head slightly pulled and a tiny piece missing, the upper joint just beginning to wear. [[Walter Nicol (1769 - 1811) was a Scottish garden and hothouse designer, who wrote several books on practical horticulture. He was born in Niddrie. He was employed at a number of estates in Scotland and improved the design and layout of gardens and glasshouses. Nicol is in particular responsible for the walled garden layout at Dalhousie Castle in Midlothian."His works, which were of a very high standard, became exceedingly popular" - Blanche Henrey 1174]. Second edition. Half-Leather. Good.
