8vo. pp. xlviii, 518, [2]ads. 7 engraved plates (incl. frontis. portrait of the author). A nice copy in original blind & gilt-stamped cloth (spine sunned, light foxing to plate margins & neighbouring leaves). Inscribed on behalf of the author s daughter on half-title. Third Edition. With a memoir of the Author, and his last additions and improvements. Steuart developed a particular method for transporting and transplanting large ornamental trees, which was used successfully throughout Great Britain although it proved to be impractical in America because of the climate. Sir Walter Scott enthusiastically reviewed the present work in the Quarterly when it was first published in 1828, and noted in his journal: "Sir Henry is a sad coxcomb, and lifted beyond the solid earth by the effect of his book s success. But the book well deserves it." cfRaphael, An Oak Spring Sylva, 44.
