London: Printed for W. Mears, at the Lamb; and F. Clay, at the Bible, without Temple-Bar. 1726. 2nd Edition. 1/2 Calf. 4º, 28cm.; [xxiv], 314pp., [4], 21 plates (numbered to 31); 20th C. 1/2 calf rebind with marbled paper cover boards; Title page in red and black. Very good. Item #89

The first English translation by Bradley from the German appeared in 1721 as "Philosophical Treatise of Husbandy and Gardening...". Georg Andreas Agricola was a German physician who discovered grafting and vegetative propagation which was outlined for the first time in this title. Richard Bradley was a bit of a scallywag who despite his ethical definciencies (he forged a recommendation letter to become Professor in Botany at Cambridge among other transgressions) was an important promoter of horticulture and a prolific author on the subject. All 21 plates depicting numerous grafting and propagative techniques are accounted for. The rebind is expertly done. (ESTC, Henrey).
