At the Middle Temple Gate, Fleet Street: B. Motte, 1725. First and only edition. Octavo, pp (14), 373, (11), with two engraved folding plates, a little age-toning and slight marking, rear endpaper a little marked and with a contemporary signature - R. Taylor, 1771. The front endpaper has an ink diagram (see our illustration), and the hinge at the title page is cracked but sound. An early signature has been carefully cut from the top of the title page - the engraved surface is not affected. Contemporary panelled calf, a little marked and worn, the spine more worn, the upper joint cracking at the top and bottom. [Blanche Henrey 709.]. [ Little is known about Bradley's childhood aside from an early interest in gardening and the fact that he lived in the vicinity of London, a city at the time with many amateur naturalists. Though Bradley lacked a university education, his first publication, Treatise of Succulent Plants, gained him traction with influential patrons like James Petiver and later, Hans Sloane. With their support, he was proposed and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1712, at the age of 24. Two years later Bradley visited the Netherlands and took an interest in horticulture. He spent the next decade back in England writing treatises on topics related to this central interest, like weather, fertiliser, productivity, and plant hybridisation. In recognition of his work in the field and with the (thereafter unfulfilled) promise that he would found and fund a university botanical garden, the University of Cambridge named Bradley its first professor of botany in 1724, a position he would hold until his death. As Bradley was not a wealthy man in his later life, and as this was an unsalaried position, the newly minted academic continued to focus most of his efforts on making a living through publishing. According to his rival and successor, John Martyn, as well as his successor, son Thomas Martyn, Bradley did this at the expense of his students, whom he reportedly neglected to even lecture to. Bradley made notable innovations and discoveries across a wide array of disciplines. For example, this work included directions for the making and use of a rudimentary kaleidoscope to aid in formal garden design and layout. He also wrote about cooking, and was the first to publish recipes in the English language using the then-exotic pineapple as the main ingredient. His History of Succulent plants was the seminal treatise on the topic, and his studies of tulips and auriculas helped further accurate theories of plant reproduction. Bradley was also a pioneer in the examining of fungal spore germination and the pollination of plants by insects. His publications additionally contained information on how to build and use greenhouses, early theories regarding agricultural productivity, and pond ecology.]. First Edition. Full-Leather. Good.

Description:
1835 1ed American West INDIANS Ohio Valley Melville Hall 2v Sketches of HistoryJames Hall's 'Sketches of History, Life and Manners' is a fascinating 1835 account of life in the American West. Beginning in the early 19th-century, Americans began migrating westward encountering early European settlements, Native American Indian tribes, and dangerous animals and health threats. This book provides important details on new states finding statehood, as well as civil institutions being established throughout the American west. It should also be noted that this book was the primary source for Herman Melville's book 'The Confidence Man'.
Notes from Field on this book:
"Narratives of frontier warfare with the Indians, and incidents of Indian life, fill almost all the pages of these interesting volumes."
Per Flanagan,
"a rather detailed account of the first trans-Allegheny explorations, with ample treatment of the early French settlements and the infiltration of the Scotch-Irish Pioneers into Kentucky and… Read More
