Erasmus Darwin 1732-1802 was a remarkable polymath working as a physician naturalist medical botanist and inventor. He was also Charles Darwin's grandfather.

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.' "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. We offer Darwin's Zoonomia; or The Laws of Organic Life Volumes I & II 1794 & 1796 separately.
