‎<p>FIRST EDITION. Philip Miller's Gardeners Dictionary is one of the most important books in the history of horticulture. <strong>"This work was in truth monumental; it laid the foundation for all the horticultural knowledge and taste in Europe"</strong> Green <em>History of Botany in the United Kingdom</em>.</p><p>Son of a market gardener Philip Miller 1691-1771 became head of the Chelsea Physic Garden in 1722. Miller corresponded with botanists and gardeners around the world including Linnaeus who visited Miller in London. Building a worldwide network of contacts Miller obtained innumerable specimens and introduced many plants to England. The world's leading authority on horticulture Miller was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1731. By the time of his death in 1771 Miller had transformed the private medicinal garden into the leading botanical garden in Europe.</p><p>Miller's greatest achievement was his <em>Gardeners Dictionary</em> which was issued in eight folio editions 1731-68 during the author's lifetime. A smaller format abridgement appeared in multiple editions in 1735-71. The book's direct descendant is the present-day <em>Dictionary of Gardening</em> published by the Royal Horticultural Society.</p><p>The<em> Gardeners Dictionary</em> was enormously influential in America. "In the American colonies wealthy landowners laying out the grounds of stately new homes inevitably turned to England for inspiration. … The most authoritative design guide of the period was <em>The Gardeners Dictionary</em> written by Philip Miller in 1731. Alice Lockwood author of <em>Gardens of Colony and State</em> pointed to Miller's frontispiece—a symmetrical layout bisected by a canal with walled orchards and beds—as 'the ideal of many a colonial garden.'" Karson <em>A Genius for Place</em>.</p><p>Thomas Jefferson "made constant use of Miller's <em>Gardeners Dictionary</em> which is mentioned frequently in his Garden Books and in his correspondence" Sowerby <em>Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson</em>. Jefferson listed the work in his famous letter to Skipwith naming the books essential for a gentleman's library.</p><p>The Swedish botanist and explorer Pehr Kalm observed in 1753 that he had "asked several of the greatest and best horticulturists both in England and in America what author and what book they had found and believed to be the best in horticulture … They all answered with one mouth Miller's <em>Gardener's Dictionary</em> either in folio or the abstract in octavo was the best of all. … The same answer I have got from several distinguished persons who had themselves had a particular pleasure in planting trees and plants with their own hands. If any of the Lords or great 'Herren' in England wished to lay out a new garden or remake an old one Mr. Miller would always show them how it ought to be done. When the greatest lords drove out to their estates he often drove out with them in the same carriage. In a word the principal people in the land set a particular value on this man" quoted in Le Rougetel <em>The Chelsea Gardener: Philip Miller 1691-1771</em>.</p><p>Provenance: Armorial bookplate of John Rolle Baron Rolle of Stevenstone 1750-1842 on front pastedown</p><p>Folio. xvi 844 pp with 5 plates including frontispiece. Eighteenth-century sprinkled paneled calf spine gilt. Darkening and soiling to boards light wear to extremities small crack to spine. Rebacked preserving original spine. Some light spotting and staining 4-inch closed tear to 2r. An excellent copy</p> Printed for the author and sold by C. Rivington hardcover‎

Miller was chief gardener at the Chelsea Physic Garden for nearly 50 years from 1722 and wrote the highly popular "The Gardeners Dictionary". Born in Deptford or Greenwich Miller was chief gardener at the Chelsea Physic Garden from 1722 until he was pressured to retire shortly before his death. According to the botanist Peter Collinson who visited the physic garden in July 1764 and recorded his observation in his commonplace books Miller "has raised the reputation of the Chelsea Garden so much that it excels all the gardens of Europe for its amazing variety of plants of all orders and classes and from all climates." He wrote The Gardener's and Florists Dictionary or a Complete System of Horticulture 1724 and The Gardener's Dictionary containing the Methods of Cultivating and Improving the Kitchen Fruit and Flower Garden which first appeared in 1731 in an impressive folio and passed through eight expanding editions in his lifetime and was translated into Dutch by Job Baster. Miller corresponded with other botanists and obtained plants from all over the world many of which he cultivated for the first time in England and is credited as their introducer. His knowledge of living plants for which he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society was unsurpassed in breadth in his lifetime. He trained William Aiton who later became head gardener at Kew and William Forsyth after whom Forsythia was named. The Duke of Bedford contracted him to supervise the pruning of fruit trees at Woburn Abbey and the care of his prized collection of American trees especially evergreens which were grown from seeds that on Miller's suggestion had been sent in barrels from Pennsylvania where they had been collected by John Bartram. Through a consortium of sixty subscribers 1733–66 the contents of Bartram's boxes introduced such American trees as Abies balsamea and Pinus rigida into English gardens. Miller was reluctant to use the new binomial nomenclature of Carl Linnaeus preferring the classifications of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort and John Ray at first. Linnaeus nevertheless applauded Miller's Gardeners Dictionary The conservative Scot actually retained a number of pre-Linnaean binomial signifiers discarded by Linnaeus but which have been retained by modern botanists. He only fully changed to the Linnaean system in the edition of The Gardeners Dictionary of 1768 though he had already described some genera such as Larix and Vanilla validly under the Linnaean system earlier in the fourth edition 1754. Miller sent the first long-strand cotton seeds which he had developed to the new British American colony of Georgia in 1733. They were first planted on Sea Island off the coast of Georgia and hence derived the name of the finest cotton Sea Island Cotton. The presumed portrait engraved by C.J. Maillet and affixed to the posthumous French edition of Miller's Gardeners Dictionary 1787 shows the wrong Miller John Frederick Miller son of the London-based Nuremberg artist Johann Sebastian Müller. No authentic portrait is known. Miller's two sons worked under him; one Charles became the first head of the Cambridge Botanic Garden. Wikipedia hardcover‎
