The Mangel Wurzel or the Rhineland was also known as Dick Ruben (the Great Turnip), Dick Wurzel (the Great Root) and Mangel Wurzel. A mistranslation had changed the original German "mangold wurzel" or "root of the beet", into "mangel wurzel", meaning "scarcity root". It might, indeed, be called the Root of Abundance", due to its ability to thrive in harsh conditions and produce a large crop. In his monograph, de Commerell remarks, "it deserves to obtain a decided preference over all other roots, and even over turnips". A nice copy of a scarce book.

One of many works by the industrious Quaker philanthropist and physician John Coakley Lettsom (17441815), translated by him from the original French of the Abbé de Commerell. 'Alongside botany, fossils, and natural history, another subject in which Lettsom interested himself was scientific agriculture. He was involved in the introduction of the mangel-wurzel, first brought to notice by Sir Richard Jebb in 1786. Lettsom translated a pamphlet on the subject (An Account of the Mangel-wurzel, or Root of Scarcity, from the French of the Abbé de Commerell, 1787); he grew the seed himself and imported a large quantity, which he distributed to farmers and others in Britain as well as in Europe, America, and the West Indies.'

Farquhar, M.D., on title; Kenneth Garth Huston bookplate. v Third edition of a translation by John Coakley Lettsom originally published the same year.

"He grew the seed himself and imported a large quantity, which he distributed to farmers and others in Britain as well as in Europe, America, and the West Indies" (ODNB). Henrey 556 (also II, 297-98); Fussell II, p. 130; Perkins 374 (2nd ed) Mangels were used extensively as fodder for livestock. They are mentioned frequently in George Orwell's Animal Farm.

Third edition. xxxix, [1], 51pp, [1]. With a hand-coloured engraved plate. Uncut, stitched, as issued, in original publisher's blue paper wrappers. Without spine panel, lightly marked, a trifle spotted. The third edition, printed in the same year as the first, of this translation into English of the agronomist Abbe de Commerell's (d. 1799) monograph on the propagation and benefits of the Mangelwurzel, a variety of edible root vegetable predominantly used as fodder for domesticated livestock. The translator, physician John Coakley Lettsom (1744-1815), was first made ware of the pamphlet by Sir Richard Jebb (bap. 1729, d. 1787) in 1786 and immediately began importing and growing large quantities of seed which he distributed to farmers in Britain, Europe, America, and the West Indies. This third edition is notable for the inclusion of a hand-coloured engraved plate depicting the root not present in earlier printings. ESTC N30320. Size: 8vo.

One hand-colored engraved plate. xix, 51 pp. 8vo, attractive antique calf-backed marbled boards (some foxing), spine gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. London: C. Dilly & J. Phillips, 1787. "Second edition" (but see below) of this translation of Commerell's work on the mangel wurzel, an uncommon beet developed in the 18th century as a fodder crop for livestock and, when harvested young, an excellent source of nutrition for humans. Commerell (d. 1799), chaplain to the Princess of Lowenstein in the German Lorraine and a member of the Société d'Agriculture de Paris, was interested in husbandry and wrote a monograph in French on the mangel wurzel. Lettsom (1744-1815), physician, philanthropist, and champion of improving projects, was much involved in the introduction of the mangel wurzel in Britain. When seeds of this vegetable were distributed to the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, Lettsom received some, sowed them in his garden at Grove Hill, and found them to be an excellent crop capable of providing food for humans and for cattle. He immediately commissioned a translation of Commerell's book a copy of which had accompanied the seeds from Germany and provided a preface. This is the second of three editions to appear in 1787. Lettsom distributed seeds to farmers and others in Britain as well as in Europe, America, and the West Indies. Today mangel wurzel is widely grown in many countries. The fine plate depicts the mangel wurzel. Nice copy. The title-page states this is the "second edition," but Lettsom's preface, dated 15 November 1787, is "to the third edition." Our copy collates like ESTC's second edition but has the plate that seems to accompany only the third edition. ? Fussell, II, pp. 131-32. Henrey, II, p. 297 & no. 555.
