The first edition of The microscope made easy appeared in 1742; it ran to five editions in Baker's lifetime and was translated into several foreign languages. (...) Henry Baker was in many respects a typical natural philosopher of the eighteenth century. His interest ranged widely, and his skills were equally various: he was by no means dedicated to one branch of study, nor did he do research in modern sense. Yet he deserved the title "a philosopher in little things"; and he had the rare gift of communicating his knowledge of, and above all his enthusiasm for, the microscope to others. (...) He regarded the microscope with reverence, as a means to the deeper appreciation of the wonders of God's world."

- Plate 7 sm. waterstain in upper blank margin (not touching the plate); occas. sl. fingersoiled in outer lower blank corner; contents otherwise entirely clean and fine. Paper over covers worn. A very fine copy, with ample margins (total paper size: 28x22 cm.).

= Landwehr, Dutch Books w. Col. Plates 29; Dunthorne 215; Nissen, BBI 2219; Hunt 733: "Nederlandsch Bloemwerk is a symbol and representation of the ascendancy of the Dutch nurseryman, the developer and disperser of tulips, hyacinths, and auriculas at the end of the eighteenth century. At the same time it takes a backward glance at the art of the gardener and of the flower-painter of a century and a half earlier, the golden age of Tulipomania (...)". The plates are usually assigned to Paul Theodor van Brussel (mainly on the basis of his signature on the title-p.). He closely followed the plates by Robert Nicolas in several of his designs. Interestingly, most of the plates show the flowers with visiting insects, and on the first 18 plates these insects have tiny engr. numbers apparently referencing to the accomp. textleaves. However, the text does not mention any of the insects. From plate 18 onwards, the insects cease to be shown with a number. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXIX.

= I. The History and Description of Land Birds. II. The History and Description of Water Birds. Not in T. Hugo. The Bewick Collector; Roscoe, Thomas Bewick, 18b; Nissen, IVB 95; Zimmer p.57. Bradley Martin 1385: "These two volumes were Bewick's greatest achievement. They combined excellent craftsmanship with the perfect marrying of type and engravings on the page. They also showed a deep knowledge of, and sympathy for, the subjects of his figures. Bewick's reproduction of the texture of the feathering was unique, also his detail of the plumage and the arrangement of the feathers. The wood-engravings were the first really accurate and true pictures of our most common birds, and set a new standard in their illustration."
