This is a reprint of at least part of Dr. Nicholas Culpeper's herbal writings, written at some point before his death in 1654, but possibly published later (the book doesn't give a date). Every remedy has a brief description of the plant, a little illustration of the plant (I'm not sure if that's original to the book or just part of this reprint), and a description of its uses and astrological tie-ins. This edition also includes "modern" (as of 1979) herbal uses of these plants. ( )

Culpeper's is the first book of herbalism that anyone should have in their reference library. Absolutely lovely. ( )

Lovely and still relevant (if almost ancient!) reference to the uses and beauty of herbs, flowers and plants of help to man-kind. Beautiful drawings, wonderful language and descriptions. Delightful to dip into and a great aid to research and plant growing/cultivation/harvesting, despite its natural bias towards the Northern Hemisphere. ( )
