Switzer (Stephen, 1682-1745). Author's manuscript with corrections entitled A Synopsis or Practical Compendium of Husbandry & Gardening, circa 1735-40, 48 folio leaves of manuscript in brown ink on laid paper with Pro Patria watermark, consisting of ten numbered leaves (1st-10th) containing The Preface (ten leaves), and A Table of the Contents of the following Synopsis (fourteen leaves), and A Synopsis or practical Compendium of husbandry & Gardening (thirty-eight leaves), some alterations, corrections, or additions in ink by the author, some damp staining, mostly light, particularly to upper outer edges, final leaf with some fraying to margins and loss of some letters (the text generally intact), contemporary plain stiff velum, somewhat soiled and discoloured, covers bowed, folioQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Private Collection, Derbyshire.The full attribution of this manuscript to the hand of Stephen Swtzer is supported by internal evidence: at the head of the table of contents he refers to his own address at the Flower pot over and against the court of Please, Westminster Hall, and on the 7th leaf of the Synopsis the writer pens a note at the foot of the page 'for a further enquiry into the etimology of the phascolus or kidney bean I refer to my Practical Kitchen Gardiner SCC5, Chap XILV, pa 236'. We have dated the manuscript to circa 1735-40 due to the reference to the 'to the Late Lord Peterborough', referring to the Commander of the Chief of Forces sent to Spain and Ambassador to the Court of Turin, who died on the 20th October 1735 on a voyage to Lisbon.Stephen Switzer (1682-1745), gardener, author, landscape designer, and seedsman was apprenticed in 1699 to George London, senior partner of Brompton Park Nurseries. While there, Switzer rose to the position of Lieutenant, where he met and formed friendships with the architects John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor, and Charles Bridgeman. The Brompton Nurseries supplied plants to the great houses that he was involved in laying out, including Chatsworth, Castle Howard, Yorkshire, Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, Nostel, and Brimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire and Cirencester Park. By the mid-1720s Switzer had premises at Westminster Hall. The present manuscript refers to his address: 'Answering to ye several Classes of Husbandry or Grass Seeds, flower Roots & c. Sold by the Seedsman and Gardiners in and about London Especially by S. Switzer att the flower pot over against the Court of Common Pleas Westminster Hall....' Switzer published The Nobleman, Gentleman, and Gardiner's Recreation (later retitled Ichnographia Rustica) in 1718, The Practical Fruit Gardiner (1724), The Practical Kitchen Gardiner (1727), and other works.

Part of the new material in this edition arose out of Locke's exchange with the young Irish scientist, William Molyneux, with whom he corresponded in the late 1680's and 1690's. This included the celebrated problem originally proposed by Molyneux in a letter to Locke in 1688 (first published by Locke here in Book 2): if someone born blind had learned to distinguish a globe and a cube by touch alone, and was then given sight, would that person be able to determine purely by sight which one was which? Both Locke and Molyneux thought that he or she would not. Further changes included the entire recasting of the section 'Of Power' dealing with freedom, and the addition of a new chapter 'Of Identity and Diversity', in which Locke equated personal identity with continuity of consciousness, and not with continuity of any spiritual substance.This is the second issue, with Awnsham as the printer (the first issue 'Printed for Thomas Dring...').
