L. Constans.  Plate 60.  "Rosy Air-Plant; Aerides Roseum." From Paxton’s Flower Garden. 

London: Bradbury & Evans, 1850-53.  First edition.  10 ¼ x 7 ¾ (paper size).  Lithograph by L. Constans.  Original hand color. With original text. 

Joseph Paxton had a long and distinguished career as the skilled and observant head gardener for the Duke of Devonshire.  He designed the Crystal Palace exhibition grounds based on the pattern of the underside of the leaf of the “Victoria Amazonica.”  His Magazine of Botany was published from 1834 to 1849 and extended to sixteen volumes.  In this series with Paxton’s name in the title, the equally eminent John Lindley joined him in selecting what they called “all the new and remarkable plants . . . necessary to the horticulturist.”  (Preface).  These are some of the most spectacular and appealing floral prints to be made in the mid-century for the English audience.  Ref.: Sitwell, Great Flower Books, p. 114.

Great and important translation
Format: Hardcover
I've seen a few interviews with the author and now having the book, I can confirm that this is both an important and comprehensive effort at translating the original text into English, revising previous efforts and taking much more of the cultural context into account. If you wish to understand this important text's place in the history of Western esoteric writing, then I highly recommend this translation!

Jewel of my occult studies library
Format: Hardcover
Excellent academic translation of an ancient Latin text. If you are a student of occult history, this is the book you want. If you are a practicing magician, maybe not so much. This book made me a fan of Dan Attrell’s no-nonsense approach to magical history. No vague implications of wisdom from before recorded history here, just translation from actual historical text.

Excellent book, but NO chapters between books in the index
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Excellent book, with a complete introduction that covers different points of view of the creation of such work of art, it can be seen that it was translated with a team of high academic preparation and knowledge on the subject. It was translated with a lot of precision, respect, professionalism and with much seriousness to the subject. The book is made with high quality and its pages are quite thick. The only mistake that I could notice and it is difficult for me not to be upset, is that they created the index and left out the chapters of each book. For me it is a gross error in comparison with other versions. It's the reason why I could not give 5 stars.
