| Title | British herbal : an history of plants and trees, natives of Britain, cultivated for use, or raised for beauty |
| Subject | Botany--Great Britain |
| Creator | Hill, John, 1714?-1775 |
| Description | In The British Herbal, Hill described and gave the common use for some fifteen hundred plants of Great Britain and illustrated his text with seventy-five full-page copperplate engravings executed by several different artists. Although John Hill was judged a quack by contemporaries, he made a great and lasting contribution in the area of botanical studies. An apothecary by trade, Hill's initial interest in plants was utilitarian; he collected them for friends and used them to concoct herbal remedies. Hill undertook several large projects in plant classification, among them this work, a valuable taxonomic achievement useful to the scholarly botanist. |
