".enumerating, with accurate descriptions, all the known vegetables which are any way remarkable for medical efficacy; with an account of their virtues in the several diseases incident to the human frame." 498pp inc Index and Appendix plus 6pp publisher's adverts plus 14 plates of engravings to illustrate plants and flowers, usually 4 to a plate. A treasury of herbal wisdom expressed in detail and endlessly intriguing, for instance in discovering the dosage of dried ladysmock flowers "from a scruple to a drachm twice a day" to treat convulsions, hysteric fits and worms in the intestines of children. And who knew what benefits a few cowslip roots, boiled in ale, could bestow! Stout leather binding well worn and with front board hanging by a thread o/w binding sound. Elegant PO inscription. Some foxing but by no means heavy or throughout. Occasional ticks in pencil. All profits to Amnesty International. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 010608
