Description:
New York: D. Appleton & Co, 1872. Octavo (18 x 12.5 cm.), 123 pages. Frontispiece portrait of the author. Facing English and French texts. Third edition, an early facsimile of the original G.&C. Carwill edition of 1827. In 1829, Cargill issued a slightly expanded edition with some changes to the translation. Loubat was among the first to recognize the potential of American soil for quality wine grapes. He claims to have planted as many as eleven hundred vines in New Jersey and Long Island, all imported from his father's nurseries in the Gironde and Lot. His Long Island nursery was along the banks of the East River, on what is now the Brooklyn waterfront. The vines were dug out and - according to Pinney - "the vineyard property was sold for building lots". Lower corner of free front end paper chipped, otherwise internally very good. With some wear to the head and foot of the spine and the spine faded; in lavender pebbled cloth, the title brightly gilt-stamped. [Gabler 28040].

Description:
[Seggiano, Italy, 1793. Manuscript codex (32 x 22.5 cm.) in several hands; various paginations in 24 gatherings of unequal lengths, including additionally several miscellaneous receipts, all indicating a retrospective assemblage, headed by a summary report as reflected by the title on the first gathering; bound in vellum and tied with cords. ~ A reference account book for the crop year October 1793-September 1794 (two instances of the date 1792 may be errors) made for an agricultural estate in the Tuscan municipality Seggiano, near Siena, south of Florence. It was prepared in advance of a detailed examination or inspection, presumably commissioned by the lord of the estate, Fausto Ugurgeri (originally Ugurgieri della Berardenga), of a Siennese family well known in the area from the 9th to the 19th century. The compiler declares himself on the cover as Antonio Ciotti, likely the agricultural manager of the estate, though he may also have held some public administrative office.

London: Dulau & Company, Ltd, 1929. Octavo (21.5 x 15 cm.), vii, [1], 133, [3] pages. Frontispiece. Top edge gilt. FIRST EDITION, limited to one thousand copies, each signed by the author (this is no. 848). A great classic of food writing, and an important book for all interested in northern tree fruits and berries. Also contains sections on nuts and grapes. The book is a learned recitation of the qualities, distinctions, difficulties, and histories of specific varieties, presented by a student of fine fruit with a refined palate and a gift for the pen. "In the vast literature which deals with food and its appreciation I have searched for thirty years to find a precedent for a book devoted to the dessert. The great classic authors of France have left it untouched, nor can I find in any language a treatise on this crucial subject, which may so easily make or mar a well-planned meal" (page v).

Boston: White, Smith & Co, 1883. Quarto in wrappers (26 x 18 cm.), 104 pages. FIRST & ONLY EDITION of this vocal score with piano accompaniment. An ad appearing in the March 1884 issue of the publisher's Folio Magazine described The Berry-Pickers as a "new and original operetta in two art--, adapted to the use of young people, and designed to illustrate scenes in country life" (page 142). A later issue of the same periodical indicates "The Berry Pickers was produced for the first time entire at Union Hall, Boston, January 30, before a large and enthusiastic audience. The presentation of the operetta was a most gratifying surprise to all who witnessed it. The delight caused by many of the numbers can hardly be over-rated, and the fact that many of them were re-demanded proves the success of the work." Adding that the "costumes can be made with very little expense" (page 113). Spine cocked; bit of spotting to upper right corner of a few leaves.
