15. The Gardener's Pocket Journal and annual Register, in a 

 concise monthly display of" all practical works of general 

 Gardening throughout the year. London. 1791. 12mo. 



Of these works there needs little comment. They are the 

 sound results of lengthened experience. " Every Man his own 

 Gardener" was re-edited in 1816 by Mr. Mean. But the edi- 

 tions and numbers that have been sold, have never been equal- 

 led by any other Horticultural Work, except Abercrombie's 

 own *' Pocket Journar', of which cheap, and useful work, 

 about two thousand are annually sold. The fourteenth edition 

 is dated 1815, and I know not how many have appeared since, 

 but there is usually a fresh one every year. 



For the last twenty years of his life he lived in a great degree 

 upon Tea, taking it three times a day, seldom or never eating 

 meat. He frequently declared that Tea and Tobacco were the 

 great promoters of his health. His pipe was his first companion 

 in the morning and the last at night. He often smoked for six 

 hours without interruption. He never remembered taking 

 Physic until after the occurrence of the accident which caused 

 his death ; nor of having a day's illness before his last, but one 

 about twenty three years previously. 



The best portrait of Abercrorabie is prefixed to Debrett's 

 edition, 2 vols. Bvo. He is also represented at full length when 

 seventy-two in the 16th Edition printed in 1800.*
