(John Stuart Earl of)] The Tabular Distribution o (John Stuart Earl of)] The Tabular Distribution of British Plants. Part I containing the Genera pp. 11(12) folding leaf `General plan of the tables` tables I-XXVII (VIII omitted as it contains no British plant) mostly folding 11 leaves of index contemporary half russia spine lettered “Genera” perhaps lacking a second part of species bought from Maggs with their partial description inserted oblong 8vo printed by J. Davies 1787. *** The preface is unsigned but is clearly by Lord Bute “The following distribution is the same followed in the former edition without any abridgment though reduced into a small compass...for the convenience of those who have the work in quarto and who may wish to carry it with them into the field...”. By “the former edition” is meant Bute`s celebrated Botanical tables 9 vol. 1785 printed in 12 or possibly 14 copies and a well known botanical rarity; Henrey 1398 collates the first volume of this and comments “Table VIII is omitted as it contains no British plant” just as here. Henrey 1419 records Bute`s A tabular distribution of Biritsh plants 1780 from a single copy in NHM and this is all that is found on ESTC. However Cambridge and Kew have copies of our edition perhaps with a second part though the collations do not make this clear (the Cambridge copy is mis-attributed to Sir John Hill). We have been able to trace no other copies anywhere. If as Bute`s introduction suggests our book was intended to accompany copies of the Botanical tables then its exteme rarity is explained.
