Hardcover. Zustand: VG-. See photos for condition details. Tall hardcover, original binding of beveled green cloth boards with gilt on front and spine. The exterior shows some scuffing spotting along with edge and corner bumps/wear. There's a small chip on the bottom edge of the front board and the rear board shows soiling along… the bottom third section. The internal binding is overall good except for a few spots. The text pages are tight but there is some pulling at the front hinge and there is a closed tear at the gutter of the title page, where it looks like glue from the original binding caused the edge of the page to stick to the frontis. There are no signatures or bookplates, no library markings etc. The only evidence of handwriting is on the front end page where a price was written in the top center and then later erased. Pages are toned due to age and there is some scattered smudge marks and foxing present. Please note: this is volume 1 ONLY.

Engraved bookplate to endpaper each volume: see below. Really a lovely set.** "ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM" was the magnum opus of the prolific, influential Scottish botanic polymath, JOHN CLAUDIUS (J.C.) LOUDON, F.L.S., H.S., &c. (1783-1843). Author, agriculturist, architect, town planner, natural historian, gardening magazine publisher and --most significantly--inventor of the arboretum. He was born near Glasgow, later educated at Univ. Edinburgh in agriculture and botany among other subjects, while apprenticing at the nursery of a Mr. Scot in the nearby Edinburgh district of Easter Dalry. A year of botanic travels followed. His later career was made more difficult because of several severe disabilities, including the loss of an arm. He famously planned and established the Derby Arboretum in 1840, directly influencing the Americans Frederick Law Olmsted, and later corresponded with some of the most notable British, American and European nurserymen, botanists and estate owners of the day. Patronage of the Duke of Northumberland included provision of the artist G.R. Lewis to record a number of the numerous engraved "tree portraits" from Syon House. Loddiges, catalogue-nurserymen near London and importers of newly discovered plant materials, were among the many who also supplied Louden with his exemplars and illustrations. A history of foreign plant introductions traces "plant hunters" from Tradescant to Staunton, and more. Loudon's arboretum," founded at Derby in 1840, gave real form to the "paper arboretum" of this book. Trees, shrubs and other plants of both native and imported varieties, were displayed for educational and scientific study, beautification, and free public access in a purpose-designed landscape. Boston's Arnold Arboretum and New York's Botanical Garden followed in Loudon's footsteps. Frederick Law Olmstead's Green Belt constructions at Boston and New York's Central Park were specifically influenced by Loudon's work. Dendrological varieties suitable for the (sometimes heated) walled gardens, advice on the propagation of non-native semi-hardy fruiting trees hailing from warmer climes were included; appendices include fruiting trees of Italy. Other Loudon publications discussed plans for glasshouses, and heated conservatories. **PROVENANCE: Engraved bookplate "Ferguson of Raith" to endpaper of each volume; "ROBERT FERGUSON, MP, FHS &ct."(1769-1840) is listed among both Contributors and Subscribers to "Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum," thus making this an association copy. The Fergusons were in possession of Raith House, on the outskirts of Kirkcaldy, Fife from 1725. As laird, Ferguson oversaw parklands laid out in the18th century by Scottish landscape designer THOMAS WHITE (1736-1811), once a student of "Capability" Brown. The Raith C. Lucitanica Lois, (Portugal Laurel,) and Corylaceæ Quercus (Holly Oak) are mentioned in Loudon. Later additions of Sequoia were added after their introduction to Britain in the 1840's. Playfair's home farm, and a monastic walled garden, Abbotshall, also then formed part of the estate. A tower folly and artificial lake were added in the early 19th century. Architects of the Palladian manor house included JAMES SMITH (1645-1731), a student of Sir William Bruce, who did the Holyrood Palace rehab of the1660's. Beginning in 1785, architect JAMES PLAYFAIR (1755-1794) extended and remodeled Raith House. The hilly elevation of the Fife coast allowed panoramic views from Raith across the Firth of Forth, toward North Berwick Law, and away to Arthur's Seat, the extinct volcano looming over the Holyrood parklands. Otherwise, Robert Ferguson was known for two reasons. As a Fellow of the Royal Society of both Edinburgh and London, Ferguson was an amateur mineralogist. Several forms of the rare earth mineral Fergusonite, discovered in Greenland in 1825, were named after him, a mildly radioactive and a semi-precious gemstone. Ferguson was also named in a famous divorce case of 1807 in which his near-neighbor, the Earl of Elgin (purveyor of the infamous Parthenon "Elgin Marbles"), sued him for the alienation of the affections of his wife, Mary Bruce, (neé Nisbet,) winning 10,000 pounds sterling in damages. The scandal put a temporary boot to Ferguson's career as an MP, although his political fortunes recovered; he was Lord Lieutenant of Fife from 1837. Books later through descendants, including Agnes and Mary Berry, heirs and literary executors of the English novelist Horace Walpole, and nieces to the Fergusons of Raith.
