The book was suggested by Hornby's friend A.D. Power, who had compiled this version of Eccliasticus. "I have never regretted having done so, as in my humble judgement it is one of the most satisfactory of the books of the press."- Hornby. The book is widely considered the most beautiful of the press. Franklin: p. 60 (also illustrated before p. 9; Ashendene Press Bibliography: XXXVIII

New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1936 8vo. Orange cloth with blue lettering. With dustjacket, slight chipping to upper spine. Interior is tight and fresh, a great copy. First American edition. Bentley is often referred to as the father of the modern detective story. He is often cited as a prime influence on Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.

Elizabeth. Edited by Christoph Trew [and others]. Blackwell Herbarium Blackwellianum emendatum et auctum id est Elisabethae Blackwell Collectio Stirpium quae in pharmocopoliis ad medicum usum asservantur...
Nuremberg: Johann Joseph Fleischmann, [vols. II-IV: Christian de Launoy, vol. V: heirs of Christiande Launoy,] 1750-65 5 (of 6) volumes, folio, 358 x 235mm., 14 1/8 x 9 1/8 in. 68; 61; 48; 48; 42ff. text. Five hand coloured engraved frontispieces heightened with gold, 582 fine hand coloured engraved plates [plates numbered 1-571, with “b” plates for nos. 269, 322, 341, 497, 498, 522, 523, 533, 536, 539 and 547] out of a total of 615 published. Separate German and Latin title pages, parallel text in German and Latin throughout. Contemporary vellum, lettered in gilt on upper spines, soiled. Both titles in volume one with repaired tears, plate 344 with tear at upper right margin, the text occasionally browned or stained, the plates generally clean. A very good, unsophisticated copy of the expanded and artistically superior German edition of Elizabeth Blackwell’s A Curious Herbal, which she had published in London in 1737 in an effort to rescue her husband from debtor’s prison. Christoph Jakob Trew conceived the project of this German edition and wrote the text for the first 90 plates; the editing was continued by C.G. Ludwig of Leipzig, who commissioned the text from G.R. Bohme and E.G. Bose, leading botanists of Leipzig and Wittenberg. The edition was issued to subscribers in a total of 13 installments. The first 500 plates are copies of those in Blackwell’s original edition though of much higher quality, the remaining 115 plates being the original (of which 82 are present here). All but a few of the plants depicted are of medicinal use. Elizabeth Blackwell, by this time a widow, apparently received no profit from this edition.
