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.

London: Edward Bull, 1831 2 vols. Full green morocco Boaden was a playwright, critic and journalistas well as a keen Shakespearian. This is one of the most substantial early biographies of a leading English actress of the 18th century.

Hazlitt called her: "The child of nature whose voice was a cordial to the heart to hear whose laugh was to drink nectar whose singing was like the twang of Cupid's bow". Byron, Lamb and Haydon heaped praise on her and Sir Joshua Reynolds delighted in a person "who ran upon the stage as a playground, and laughed from sincere wildness of delight".
