LANDSCAPE GARDENING
Two volumes.
The revised and preferred edition of Volume I and the first edition of Volume II. Fine copies in contemporary English calf with red morocco spine labels. Armorial bookplates of Richard Hart Davis (1767-1842), a descendant of King William IV and collector of rare books and paintings.
Primary documents of the Picturesque movement in landscape gardening, an attempt to discredit Capability Brown's theories of invasive landscaping and an argument for designing gardens after the works of the landscape painters Claude Lorrain and Salvator Rosa.
"Price advocates gardening by calculated neglect (what Repton thought would result in a 'huge-picturesque forest') and the use of artificial foregrounds to link the wild park with the formal house garden." Weinreb 17:119. The second volume contains "three further treatises designed to meet Repton's challenge for Price to produce a practical method of improvement. ...Price suggests an ordered procession from the grand Italianate garden around the mansion, through graveled walks and shrubberies, to wooded parklands and eventually to unrestrained nature." Weinreb 17:120.

Descripción:
First French edition, three volumes, 1787, Paris. Old full leather bindings with decorative gilt spines. Sparrman accompanied Cook on his second voyage as a naturalist and physician. This is an account of that trip and his observations of Africa which appears to have intrigued him more than than the Antarctic. Paginates: V.1: xxxii, map, 388, 3 plates; V.2: [2], 366, 5 plates; V.3: [2], 363, 8 plates. Vol. 1 has modern marbled blanks nearly matching the originals, other volumes with original marbled blanks. Complete with 16 plates, 1 large map. Overall condition is Very Good: hinges have been conserved, new blanks v.1, no interior writing or markings of any kind. One plate edge conserved with Japanese paper, small hinge tear on map conserved. Minimal foxing and staining. All paper edges marbled. Spine ends of volumes 1 & 2 somewhat diminished. Binding is sound. It has the more plates than all but the first edition in Swedish (which is excruciatingly rare). See Howes S828, Hill 1616, Howgego S154,…

1755 Buffon DOGS Natural History ANIMALS 52 Illustrated PIGS Goats Sheep Rams"Virtually all the well-known writers of the Enlightenment were 'Buffonians'"
― Ernst Mayer
The monumental work by Comte de Buffon, "Histoire Naturelle," was fascinating 18th-century collection of articles and encyclopedia entries on material sciences, physics, chemistry, technology, as well as the history of animals. Buffon wrote the volumes with the intent of addressing all of natural history, but after realizing the grandeur of the work, it focuses only minerals, birds, and quadrupeds.
This fifth volume includes history of hooved animals – sheep, goats, rams, and pigs, as well as a description of dogs. While each volume of this set is illustrated, this particular tome includes over fifty full-page engravings.
