Hughes was rector of St. Lucy's parish in Barbados when he observed firsthand or collected reports from the field from "Persons of known Veracity" of every specimen described in his natural history. The work is primarily devoted to the island's botany and dendrology-of its twelve 'books' or chapters not ten as stated on the title page eight are dedicated to trees shrubs and plants ordered according to physical appearance: Nuciferous nut-bearing Pomiferous fruit-bearing Pruniferous bearing plum-like fruit and the like. Hughes provides a physical description of each plant followed by notes on the edibility of the fruit or nuts and its uses. Also included is a seven-page glossary of "Botanical and Technical Terms" supplied largely by "the accurate Mr. Miller of Chelsea" presumably Philip Miller foreman of the Chelsea Physic Garden. Among its many original contributions the book is credited as the first to describe grapefruit and to coin the term 'yellow fever' although the link to the mosquito came much later. Many of the finely engraved plates which include depictions of palm trees bananas a pineapple the male and female Pawpaw some fishes and crustacea are after drawings by one of the greatest 18th-century botanical painters G. D. Ehret Hunt speculates that a number of the unsigned plates may also be by or after Ehret. Each of the 30 plate is dedicated to a different patron or subscriber and includes an engraved coat of arms of the aristocratic or scholarly dedicatee. N. B. With few exceptions always identified we only stock books in exceptional condition. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed. printed for the author; and sold by most booksellers in Great Britain and Ireland unknown

BLACK BOB THE DANDY WONDER DOG
London: D.C. Thomson& Co. Ltd. and John Leng & Co. Ltd 1955. Binding is hardcover but heavy cardboard not heavy boards. Yellow pictorial binding with blue spine shows head of Border Collie and title - some rubbed spots covers a bit wrinkled. Hinges good interior clean and tight. Black Bob was the name of a fictional Border Collie from Selkirk in the Scottish Borders. Characters created by John Hunter who wrote the original stories which were then illustrated by DC Thomson's staff artist Jack Prout. Eight Black Bob books were published from 1950 through 1965 with b/w comic strip like panels. The educational and descriptive stories were written for the mid-twentieth century child but sophisticated enough for the adult reader. Each conveys a clear separation of right and wrong.

Illus. by Prout Jack. 8vo - Oblong. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. D.C. Thomson& Co., Ltd. and John Leng & Co., Ltd Hardcover
