Part II is complete with 10 plates by Emma Crewe Thomas Holloway and Frederick Polydore Nodder. The frontispiece "Flora at play with Cupid" by "gifted" amateur artist Emma Crewe 1780-1850 daughter of John Crewe 1st Baron Crewe was criticized by Richard Polwhele: "she has rather overstepped the modesty of nature by giving the portrait an air of voluptuousness too luxuriously melting." Other plates are studies of the Venus flytrap the Aztec lily tape grass etc. by botanical artist Frederick Polydore Nodder. Also includes the engraving of a cupid playing with fire by Thomas Holloway within the text on page xi. With several fascinating newspaper articles and manuscript note from 1845 tipped in behind the Portland Vase plates. The articles relate to the "Destruction of the Portland Vase" in the British Museum by a drunken delinquent on July 9 1845 his subsequent release from prison and the Duke of Portland's decision to commission the artists Doubleday and Baldock to repair the broken vase.

First Edition of Part I; third edition of Part II containing two more plates than the first edition of 1789. Darwin's first major literary work and the chief source of his fame during his lifetime. "The Botanic Garden an annotated scientific poem in Augustan couplets 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'" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. The Botanic Garden is also important for the five plates in Vol. I engraved by William Blake: four engravings of the Portland vase and the "Fertilization of Egypt" after a design by Fuseli.

1791réf. 93718London, printed for J. Johnson, 1791, in-4, Front, XII-214-126-[2] pp, 9 pl. dont 1 depl.; front, [2]-IX-197 pp, 9 pl, Reliure ancienne, dos lisse, plats de veau brun rapportés, Célèbre poème scientifique du grand père de Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). Cet exemplaire comprend la première édition de la première partie (The Economy of Vegetation) et la troisième édition de la deuxième partie (The Loves of the Plants), enrichie de deux planches supplémentaires par rapport à la première édition de 1789. Le Jardin botanique fut publié de manière inversée, selon le souhait de l'auteur, qui fit d'abord paraître la seconde partie de l'ouvrage (1789 et 1790), la jugeant plus apte à divertir et charmer. Comme dans les autres oeuvres d'Erasmus Darwin, ce poème contient un grand nombre d'informations scientifiques souvent avancées. La première partie, plus scientifique, couvre la philosophie naturelle et fait état de nombreuses recherches et inventions contemporaines, telle que l'histoire du cosmos. En seconde partie, l'auteur explique le système de la reproduction sexuée de Linné avec les propriétés remarquables de certaines plantes en particulier. L'aïeul de Charles postule que la reproduction sexuelle est au coeur des changements et des progrès de l'évolution, tant chez les humains que chez les plantes. Cette conception d'une transformation progressive des espèces appartient aux sciences de la reproduction et rejoint les théories pré-évolutionnistes qui sont apparues à l'aube du XIXe siècle (Laniel-Musitelli). Néanmoins, son petit-fils, Charles, déclara que la théorie d'Erasmus n'avait pas eu d'effet sur L'origine des espèces. Le Jardin botanique est également précieux pour son illustration, qui comporte deux frontispices, 18 planches et une vignette dans le texte : 5 des planches du volume I ont été gravées par William Blake, soit 4 gravures du vase de Portland et la planche de la Fertilisation de l'Égypte, d'après un dessin de Johann Heinrich Füssli (Henry Fuseli), célèbre peintre du Cauchemar. Ex-libris gravé de Marcus Jacobson. Coins et dos anciennement refaits. Épidemures sur les plats. Légères rousseurs et salissures sur les premiers feuillets. Garrison & Morton n° 8921.
