1820 John Hill HERBAL
Medicine Plants Flowers Color Illustrated Distillation
John Hill was an 18th-century English
botanist who published a number of botanical works including an important
family medical book entitled ‘The Family
Herbal’. Seeing reprints for nearly a century after its first edition, this
work is filled with direction on growing plants and vegetables, their medical
properties, preservation of roots, leaves, seeds, and flowers, recipes for
distillation and medical syrups, and much more. And while the contents of this
work are highly interesting, the most desirable aspect of this work is the
abundance of beautiful, full-page color engravings throughout.
