Slightly later half calf and paste paper over boards, raised flat bands, spine in eight panels, author lettered direct to fourth panel, with title split between third and second panels (lettered up the spine), place and date in gilt to foot, t.e.g. Very slightly rubbed to extremities and foot of spine, small split to head of front joint, internally some light off setting from samples on to text, but generally bright and clean.

Henrey notes that "in 1796 it was highly praised by William Withering as 'a work extremely well calculated to spread a useful knowledge of the grasses amongst the farmers, as well as to instruct the country gentleman in the best means of ameliorating our pasture lands'" (Henrey, page 302).
