'Ray's first essay in scientific botany, though not without faults, was a most remarkable achievement ... a small and unpretentious book ... it has many bibliographical attractions, beginning with two title-pages in black and red carrying a Cambridge imprint. It seems that the first title-page, printed on the second leaf, contained two errors in Latinity, so that it was set up a second time and imposed on the first leaf originally intended to be a blank. The binder should then have cancelled the second leaf with the incorrect title, but his imperfect scholarship was an erratic guide, with the result that sometimes one title-page was cancelled, sometimes the other, or, occasionally, neither. ... The book was printed at Cambridge by John Field. ... According to Ray's friend, John Worthington, Master of Jesus College, the whole impression was bought by another London bookseller, James Allestry, and his partners, but this cannot be true, for although the book is occasionally found with a cancel title-page bearing the London imprint of John Martin..., this form of title-page is rare compared with the Cambridge imprint. Only four copies of the London issue are recorded below as compared with eighteen of the Cambridge issue. More probably only the smaller part of the edition was transferred, and if any copies remained in Allestry's shop in St. Paul's Churchyard in 1666 they would probably have been destroyed in the Great Fire. Also the interest of the book was largely local, and it is likely to have found a readier sale in Cambridge than in London' (Keynes, pages 1-2).

Faulkner & Co Ltd, 1905, a complete deck of 52 + 2 chromolithographed playing cards (French suits), double-ended courts portraying characters from Shakespeare's plays, based on paintings by John H. Bacon, each named on the accompanying title card, the joker is a jester on a donkey, ace of spades with maker's details, indices, lightly dusty, few very minor marks, title card with horizontal crease below text, rounded gilt corners, versos ornamental design in shades of brown/orange, each card 92 x 60 mm, with original two-part box stating C.W. Faulkner & Co Ltd, plus: Chinese Euchre deck, Bijou Stationary (ie. Mullord Brothers), circa 1880, a complete (though probably mixed) deck of 32 Oriental-themed playing cards, lithographed with metallic inks, plus instruction card and two blank thick packing cards, non-standard suits: frogs/toads (copper/bronze), dragons (silver), cats (pale gold) and birds (yellow gold), full length courts depicting comic Chinese characters with a 3-line rhyme beneath (relating to the appropriate suit animal), probably a mixed deck as 7 of frogs is silver (not copper) and 7 of cats is silver (not pale gold), strangely there is an additional 6 of dragons card (no 6s normally in a Euchre deck), generally rubbed (especially king of birds), frog courts each with horizontal crease (faintly to jack), square corners, versos plain black, each card approximately 103 x 68 mm, with original decorative titled box, stating 'Bijou Stationary', and with: Royal Geographical Whist, Nash, Waters & Nash of Bournemouth & Poole (?), circa 1880, the complete deck of 52 colour lithographed playing cards, each suit representing a continent and printed in a single colour: Europe (blue), Asia (purple), America (red) & Africa (black), the numbered pip cards with views from suitable countries, courts with portraits of relevant named people, aces show a globe with an outline of the continent, toned and dusty, spotting, finger-soiling to edges, light wear to few corners, Asia 5 with short vertical crease, Europe 2 with corner crease, slightly rounded corners, versos mottled pink, each card 95 x 65 mm, with a photocopy of the original rules leaflet, a quantity of cards from each deck mounted with photo corners onto 4 display boards, encapsulated in clear plastic (none examined out of boards), the remainder in plastic bags, each board 54.5 x 40.5 cm and similarQTY: (4)NOTE:Provenance: Collection of Dudley Ollis.First item: Berry, The Playing-Cards of the World, [457]; Cartorama 62 #189.This pack, like that published by Swan Sonnenschein, was printed by Bemrose & Sons Ltd, as stated on the ace of spades.Second item: Darbyshire, Bargains! The History & Games of C.W. Faulkner & Co., pp.26-29.This pack was printed by Dondorf and is virtually identical to their own Shakespeare pack (Braun, Die Spielkarten B. Dondorf, BD 1895/1). C.W. Faulkner became a Limited Company in 1905.Third item: British Museum 1896,0501.1079 (Schreiber, American 9). This deck, advertised as both Chinese and Japanese Euchre, seems to be most uncommon. We have found only two other examples: the British Museum (BM) incomplete deck (incorrectly attributed to America), and that described in Neil Darbyshire's Comical Card Games by The Mullord Brothers (pp.42-43). Like ours, his deck is also mixed. Interestingly, his suit colours and those of the BM copy are different to our pack, supporting his theory that the game was reprinted with different allocation of colour. The BM copy also has additional 6s, not used for Euchre.Last item: The Playing Card, vol.XXVII no.4 (Jan/Feb 1999), p.121. This is the only mention of this unusual geographical whist pack we have found. The photocopy rules give the name of the printers Nash, Waters & Nash at the foot. They were in business under this name in 1881, and it is certainly possible that they not only printed the leaflet but also the cards, perhaps experimenting with playing card production. The rules explains that the rank order of the courts is full-figure, then half-figure, with the busts being the lowest rank. The leaflet also describes how the pack can be used to play Snap and a Geography game in addition to whist.

The majority of the text is from David Brossard's L'art et manière de semer et de faire Pépinières de sauvageaux (Paris, 1552). All English editions are relatively rare.Frederick Roach was one of the most acclaimed fruit experts of the 20th century. He decided on a career in horticulture aged 10 while helping to run his father's rectory garden in Toft, Lincolnshire. During the Second World War Roach was part of the Dig for Victory campaign and, in 1946, he was made chief horticultural officer of the newly formed National Agricultural Advisory Service. He became successively regional fruit adviser for the South West and South East before taking the post of national fruit adviser. Retirement from the ministry in 1972 triggered a whole new career as consultant to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation and to the World Bank.Roach's book, Cultivated Fruits of Britain, Their Origin and History (1985), is still regarded as a bible for many fruit experts. This was followed by the descriptive texts for Hooker's Finest Fruits, which was published with the Royal Horticultural Society in 1989. In 1966 he was awarded the Ridley Medal of the Worshipful Company of Fruiterers. The Royal Horticultural Society awarded him the Veitch Memorial Medal in 1978.
