284pp.,8vo. Issued monthly beginning in May 1840 as The Florist's Journal. The sections were bound together in 1846 and reissued as six volumes of The British Florist. These really are tough to find these days. This is volume 4 and contains 14 beautifully hand-coloured plates of various flowers and plants cultivated in English greenhouses and gardens, including an orchid, chrysanthemum, camellia, & other truly lovely flowers. Original green cloth boards are faded and edgeworn with a few pages in the middle a bit loose, chipping to spine ends, corners bumped. 1" piece of spine at bottom is loose; small piece of one blank protective page (each plate has one) is missing. Text and plates are clean and neat. A wonderful addition to a collection of hand-coloured volumes. Scarce.
