Vol. 1 with title with engraved vignette and 2 lists of subscribers, title to vol. 2 dated 1798 bound at end of vol. 6. Issued in 72 parts, the Flora Londinensis is much more comprehensive than its title might suggest, for it extends to most of the English flora. It could properly be regarded as the first colour-plate national flora. "Curtis adopted the novel plan of having specimens drawn to a uniform scale and to life size, and most of the plates display a high degree of accuracy. In the opinion of Salisbury, the majority of the figures 'represent the most successful portrayals of British wild flowers that have ever been achieved." (Henry II p. 67).

SINCLAIR George Hortus gramineus woburnensis: or, an account of the results of experiments on the produce and nutritive qualities of different grasses and other plants used as the food of the more valuable domestic animals: instituted by John, Duke of Bedford ... 3rd edition, 60 hand coloured plates, contemporary diced russia, a little rubbed and scuffed, some offsetting and spotting from the plates, 8vo., London: Ridgway, 1826. Note: Nissen 1850 Third edition, the first to contain the results of Sinclair's experiment, carried out with the assistance of Sir Humphry Davey, comparing the performance of different species and mixtures of grasses and herbs growing on different types of soil. Sinclair's experiment, performed during his tenure as head gardener for the Duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey, showed that a greater diversity of grasses planted resulted in greater production of plant matter. It is now suggested that Sinclair's experiment provided the foundation of Darwin's "principle of divergence," a building block of his theory of evolution by natural selection. Sinclair's work at Woburn Abbey could be seen to represent one of the first ecological experiments.
