2 volumes bound in original green cloth binding. 66 hand-colored lithographed plates mostly by Henry Sowerby and his sister Charlotte, each depicting a flowering plant with small details of its fruit, seeds, etc. Ex-lib. Bookplate in front flyleaves, with some light foxing to title pages. Plates are very nice. A nice copy in good to very good condition.
Hamilton was a member of the British Homoeopathic Society and Physician to the London Homoeopathic Hospital. Each finely illustrated plate is accompanied by text which gives the history, description, geographical distribution, parts used in medicine, mode of preparation, poisonous effects, medical (homoeopathic) uses, cases, clinical observations, and antidotes for each plant. This is the most sought- after work of all homoeopathic floras, and it is the first copy we have offered in 23 years. A scarce work!
