London: G. Kearsley at Johnson's Head in Fleet Street 1789. Fourth edition. 12mo measires 168mm x 105mm pp xii 5 - 164 uncut and unopened hinge at pages 32/33 cracked but sound otherwise extremely clean internally original grey paper covers slightly marked and soiled. An outstanding copy - unpressed and in its original state - of a very scarce book. As this was a book designed solely for almost daily use by working gardeners a copy in this condition is a remarkable survival. Blanche Henrey 1489. "Weston appears to have had an excellent knowledge of nursery gardening and nurseryman's sales catalogues. The book was originally written as the result of Weston being requested by a seedsman of London to write a few short directions for the proper time of sowing seeds which could be given to customers". Paperback. Very Good. G. Kearsley, at Johnson's Head in Fleet Street Paperback

London: S. Hooper 25 Ludgate-Hill 1773. Second edition greatly improved. Illustrated with one plate foxed octavo pp xxxii 298 2 136 slight age-toning and blemishes heavier spotting and foxing between pages 77 and 98 possibly caused by the different paper of the plate otherwise very sound and tight contemporary half calf and marbled boards rubbed and slightly worn rebacked at some point with the old spine laid down the spine noe slightly worn at head and foot. With armorial bookplate of Peter Clutterbuck and a slightly odd offset on the facing blank. RARE. Weston was originally a thread-hosier of Leicester but in some of his anonymous works describes himself as "a country gentleman". In 1773 he was living at Kensington Gore but later was living at Leicester where he was secretary of the local agricultural society. From the number of his published works it is evident he had a very wide knowledge of plants and plant literature. Blanche Henrey 1490 - "Richard Weston 1733-1806 appears to have had an excellent knowledge of nursery gardening and nurserymen's sale catalogues. He was interested in agriculture and all forms of horticulture and he also made a study of horticultural and botanical literature.Weston's first important published work appeared in 1769 anonymously. This was his Tracts on practical agriculture and gardening. At the end of this volume and in subsequent editions of the work is a very useful 'Catalogue of English authors.on husbandry gardening botany and subjects relative thereto''. This catalogue is greatly extended in this rare second edition. Second edition. Half-Leather. Good. S. Hooper, 25 Ludgate-Hill Hardcover
