Second and enlarged edition, originally published in 1732. This work reproduces Furber's plates from the popular set Twelve Months of Flowers (1730), with additional descriptions attributed to the botanist Richard Bradley. The edition is expanded with a practical treatise on how to cultivate fruit and flowers under difficult or unusual circumstances. Appointed first professor of botany at Cambridge in 1724, Bradley (c.1688-1732) was a prolific writer on horticulture and botany, as well as the author of several of articles published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society and a lecturer. His habit of visiting continental gardens and procuring plants from other countries is well-recorded, and he is generally identified as the anonymous author of this text due to specific references to species brought from abroad. These include discussions of "dwarf pomegranate. This plant I first brought to England from the Paris gardens" (p. 82) and "yellow dwarf aloe, as Mr. Furber calls it. This plant I first brought from Holland, where it came from Africa" (p. 97). The book comprises 12 chapters, each dedicated to "the most beautiful flowers" blooming in each month; it contains a preface with definitions of technical terms and a final index listing all the flowers illustrated. The plates are by the London engraver James Smith. The additional treatise at the end, titled A Flower-Garden for Gentlemen and Ladies, was supposedly written by the otherwise unknown Sir Thomas More, Bart. Blanche Henrey, in British Botanical and Horticultural Literature Before 1800, notes: "the present writer has been unable to find any information concerning this baronet. There was a 'Mr. Thomas More' who was known in scientific circles between about 1670 and 1720, and who led the life of a naturalist collector, but there has never been any suggestions that he was ever created a baronet" (Henrey, p. 348). Based on the author's personal experiments, the essay advises on how to successfully grow all sorts of flowers "in a Chamber, in the greatest smoke of London, and in the midst of Winter; and to have them blow in full Perfection within the Twelve Days of Christmas" (p. 126). Provenance: Jacob Houblon Esquire of Hallingbury (1710-1770), British landowner and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1735 and 1768; with his Chippendale style armorial bookplate. The bookplate is "unmistakably thework of R. Mountaine, and we may therefore fix its date as 1750, or thereabouts. Although the workmanship of the plate is English, the armes parlantes it bears are obviously of French origin, the hop vine signifying Houblon" (Hamilton, p. 169). ESTC T35627; Henrey III, 713; Hunt 493. Walter Hamilton, French Book-plates, 1896. Quarto (257 x 195 mm), pp. [vi], 139, [1]. Contemporary sprinkled calf, rebacked to style, spine with raised bands, red morocco label, board edges tooled in gilt, edges sprinkled red. Engraved title page and 12 similar plates, all with contemporary hand-colouring, woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces; typographic title page printed in red and black. Binding a little scuffed and worn at extremities, red stain on rear cover, endpapers lightly browned and with slight offsetting from bookplate, engraved title reinserted, plates lightly toned and foxed, discreet repairs in margins of "January", "March", "October", and "December" plates, contents generally clean. A very good, well-margined copy, the hand-colouring unfaded and vibrant. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 174738
