Brotherston, in Gard. Chron. (3) 58:389 (Dec.25,

Hill's works, especially his "Eden", from which
its plates were taken bodily. The book was reviewed, 
possibly in its 1771 ed., in Gött. Gel.
Anz. Feb.2,1771. Zugabe, p.xxxviii-xl.

Diel, August Friedrich Adrian (1756-1839)

Diel's published work belongs chiefly to the
19th century, and is not included here. It may
be mentioned that his "Anleitung zu einer obstorangerie 
in scherben" was pub. Frankfurt a. M.,
1796 , with a 2d ed. under title "Ueber die anlegung 
einer obstorangerie in scherben" in 1798,
and Heft 1 of his "Versuch einer systematischen
beschreibung in Deutschland vorhandener kernobstsorten" 
was pub. 1799.
