‎The Botanic Garden; A Poem in Two Parts. Part I. Containing The Economy of Vegetation. Part II. The Loves of the Plants 1791‎

‎London: J. Johnson. THE FIRST OF DARWIN'S FOUR MAJOR WORKS THE BOTANIC GARDEN" IS OFFERED HERE IN TWO HANDSOMELY BOUND VOLUMES Dictionary of Scientific Biography III 578-579. Erasmus Darwin 1732-1802 was a remarkable polymath working as a physician naturalist medical botanist and inventor. He was also Charles Darwin's grandfather. <br /> <br /> The Botanic Garden is an annotated scientific poem in Augustan couplets. It appeared in two parts of which the second The Loves of the Plants 1789 was published before the first The Economy of Vegetation 1791. "Darwin decided to publish the second part of the work first because it was better suited "to entertain and charm." The first part of the work is more ambitious than the second covering all natural philosophy and embodying many of the researches and inventions of Wedgwood Watt Boulton and others. The design of the totality was Darwin wrote 'To enlist Imagination under the banner of Science. to induce the ingenious to cultivate the knowledge of botany. and recommending to their attention the immortal works of the celebrated Swedish naturalist-Linnaeus.' <br /> <br /> "Darwin believed that prose was suited to abstract ideas but chose to write poetry for its ability to conjure up visual images; he drew upon the Rosicrucian doctrine of Gnomes Sylphs Nymphs and Salamanders presiding over the four elements in his personifications of all scientific technological and natural phenomena. Although William Cowper and other early critics greeted The Botanic Garden with praise" ibid. <br /> <br /> We offer Darwin's Zoonomia; or The Laws of Organic Life Volumes I & II 1794 & 1796 separately. CONDITION & DETAILS: J. Johnson London. Complete. Two volumes. 4to. 12 x 9.5 inches; 30 x 24cm. Volume I: xii 214 126 1; Volume II: 2 ix 197 1pp. 20 engraved plates inclusive of five by William Blake and two 2 by John Henry Fuseli. Very handsomely rebound in full calf; blind-stamped on the front and rear boards. The spine is gilt-ruled with decorative devices in the compartments. Also a gilt-lettered black morocco spine label. New endpapers. Minor foxing and offsetting see photos otherwise clean and very bright throughout. J. Johnson hardcover‎

‎The Botanic Garden; A Poem in Two Parts. Part I containing The Economy of Vegetation. Part II - The Loves of the Plants‎

‎St Paul's Churchyard London: J. Johnson 1791. Two volumes bound in one. Volume 1 - Second edition 1791. Volume 2 - Third edition 1791. Blanche Henrey 470 . Illustrated with two engraved allegorical frontispieces 18 engraved plates one of them folding - the Cypripedium plate which is often lacking - and two hand-coloured quarto pp xii 214 126 ii; x 197 both frontispieces and title pages browned and with some offsetting from plate to title the plates of the Portland Vase and the Fertilisation of Egypt similar this last plate by Blake after Fuseli; the remaining botanical plates clean lacking the corner of page 171/2 a relevant pencilled note at the base of one page a few pages with foxing but otherwise very clean and sound internally with the armorial bookplate of the Dowdeswell family Pull Court Worcestershire on the front endpaper together with a shelf label and a small newspaper clipping; the hand-colouring on the two plates is particularly attractive and there is also an extra engraved plate fixed to the verso of the first titlepage - a portrait of Darwin engraved by Haughton after Rawlinson - this has caused a little waving of the paper; contemporary full calf a little rubbed and scuffed rebacked the old spine laid down and with some wrinkling. Still a good sound copy. The first poem The Economy of Vegetation celebrates technological innovation scientific discovery and offers theories concerning contemporary scientific questions such as the history of the cosmos. The more popular Loves of the Plants promotes revises and illustrates Linnaeus's classification scheme for plants. One of the first popular science books the intent of The Botanic Garden is to pique readers' interest in science while educating them at the same time. By embracing Linnaeus's sexualized language which anthropomorphizes plants Darwin intended to make botany interesting and relevant to the readers of his time. Darwin emphasizes the connections between humanity and plants arguing that they are all part of the same natural world and that sexual reproduction is at the heart of evolution ideas that his grandson Charles Darwin would later turn into a full-fledged theory of evolution. This evolutionary theme continues in The Economy of Vegetation which contends that scientific progress is part of evolution and urges its readers to celebrate inventors and scientific discoveries in a language usually reserved for heroes or artistic geniuses. Darwin's attempt to popularize science and to convey the wonders of scientific discovery and technological innovation through poetry helped initiate a tradition of popular science writing that continues to the present day.
