Edinburgh: R. Fleming, 1759. Octavo, pp iv, 412, some age-toning throughout, the title page and the final page rather foxed, otherwise extremely firm and tight internally, with no tears, rebound in a very smart dark green quarter morocco and marbled boards. Blanche Henrey 878. [Sir James Justice (1698 - 1763) was a Scottish horticulturalist/gardener. His works on gardening were distributed in much of Britain and Ireland. He reportedly had a passion for botanical experiments, which he pursued at the expense of his finances and family. Indeed the later miniaturist John Kay wrote that tulipomania was the cause of him parting with his estate at Crichton and the purchase of a smaller one. His divorce and expulsion from the Fellowship in the Royal Society has been blamed on the expenses he put into greenhouses and soil mixtures. He is nevertheless a noted figure in Scottish gardening with a claim to be the father of it. The genus Justicia is named for him.]. First Edition. Quarter leather. Very Good.

1904 1st ed Mark Twain Adam's Diary Fall of Man Creation Illustrated Satire"Wheresoever she was, there was Eden."
– Mark Twain, Diaries of Adam and Eve
Mark Twain's 'Diaries of Adam and Eve' are first-person memoirs that follow along from the beginning of creation, getting to know each other, and their final days on earth after 'the fall'.
'Adam's Diary', first published in 1904, was Twain's comedic and satirical take on the Book of Genesis. It was filled with illustrations by Strothmann; however, most of them were considered pornographic in nature when it was first published in the United States.
