About This Item

Manchester: R. & W. Dean, 1799. First edition. Two parts in one volume, octavo, pp viii, 1-227, (i), second title page, 229-449, (i), slight age-toning and the very odd fox-mark, but really very clean internally, contemporary tree calf, slightly worn at the corners, re-backed with a new calf spine, the original label preserved. A rare work, and especially so with its second title page preserved; this was frequently discarded because of the continuous pagination. [Soulsby - add. 772. Blanche Henry 861 - "Hull took up botany as a relaxation from medical duties". She also comments that of the other edition, the second of 1808, only the first part exists.]. [John Hull, M.D., was born at Poulton in Lancashire in 1764, and received his medical education at Leyden, where he graduated doctor of medicine 18th May, 1792. He settled at Manchester, and devoted himself especially to the practice of midwifery, and held the appointment of physician to the Lying-in Hospital there. He was admitted an Extra-Licentiate of the College of Physicians 6th June, 1806, and a Licentiate 25th June, 1819. Dr. Hull died on the 17th March, 1843, in Tavistock Square, London, the residence of his eldest son. Dr. Hull was an accomplished botanist, and a sound practical physician.]. First Edition. Full Leather. Very Good.
