Wrappers. Condition: Fine.

A superb, large, uncut copy, securely bound and clean throughout (verso of final leaf lightly soiled), with strong impressions of the plates. Fussell, p.122. Perkins Library 199. Goldsmiths 13814. According to Fussell, the making and managing of water meadows was common practice for at least two centuries in parts of Wiltshire, Berkshire, Gloucester, and Dorset before George Boswell published A Treatise in Watering Meadows in 1779. Wright's treatise followed ten years later, with this second edition appearing in 1790. Wright, curate of South Cerney, Gloucestershire, was inspired to publish by a small mistake regarding water meadows he had seen in the Monthly Review. He wrote a letter to the editor, which later expanded into this treatise. He describes the most efficacious methods of creating water meadows and provides a calendar setting out times of year during which watering is best practiced. Following his advice, he concludes, will result in early pasturage and higher yields of hay. N. B.

Thomas Allom (1804-1872) the noted topographical artist, at a time of increased interest in China, presented the Western world with the most complete portrait of China and Chinese culture up to the middle of the nineteenth century. Captioned in English, French and German, the plates encompass Hong Kong, Beijing, Nanjing, Macao, Guangzhou, and Xiamen, among other locations, and depict, inter alia, harbours, temples, palaces, mountains and rivers, military engagements, punishments, the cultivation of tea and rice and the manufacture of silk, the Great Wall of China, cat merchants, and 'playing at shuttlecock with the feet'.
