Item description from seller

pp.222, with engraved frontispiece plus 4-pages of adverts plus four labelled samples of three woods (Larch stained (2 samples), Scotch Fir and Spruce Fir). Samples enclosed in blue paper, further wrapped in a folding enveloped attached to rear pastedown as issued. Early pencil inscription to ffep. which reads 'Spruce, Fir & Larch, most recommended'. Scattered spotting to contents. Contemporary binding of paper covered spine over boards, showing wear to spine and boards held by a couple of cords only - last section of book similarly held by stretched cords. Unusual for copies to have the samples of wood present. First published in 1796 and here greatly expanded to include forest trees in general, and to argue the benefits of using British timber: "It will be observed, that though the present is called a second edition, it may be considered as nearly a new work; the former being chiefly devoted to the cultivation of Larch, and Scotch Fir; and hence, though most of the sentiments are retained, a regard to method, has rendered it necessary to write most of the work anew" (Advertisement, p. 6).
