Evelyn, Charles (cont.)

In spite of the fact that Laurence thus expressly 
disclaims any connection with "The lady’s 
recreation," the work is sometimes credited 
to him, as by Seguier, p.375. Martyn, in
Miller’s Gard. Dict. 1807, l:xxvi, and Brotherston, 
in Gard. Chron. III, 45:113 (Feb. 20,
1909), accept Laurence's estimate of the book
as a booksellers’ artifice. The above-mentioned 
letters, however, which "Charles Evelyn"
represents as signed by Laurence are not explained 
by the latter at all.

----- London, 1718. 200 p. (Brit. Mus.)
Forming part of Laurence, John. Gardening

Cat. does not give full imprint or collation.

----- 2d ed. To which are added ... Observations
concerning variegated greens, by J. Lawrence. London,
1718. (Brit. Mus.)

----- 3d ed. London, 1719.
"This is a reprint of the second edition

----- [German] Vergnügen und nutzen der gärtnerey,
nebst Joh. Evelyn's Gärtner-kalendar, und einiger feinen
gedanken des Hrn. Laurence von streichlichen immergrünen.
Leipzig, 1756. 173 p. (Gott. Gel. Anz. 1757(1 ):55-56;
Watt, Bib. Britt. 1:349x; Haller, 2:84; Dochnahl, p.45;
Miltitz, col.298; Münchhausen, Hausvater, 3:156)
German title entered as anonymous in Gott.
Gel. Anz.; Dochnahl and Miltitz enter it under
John Evelyn. Dochnahl says it was translated
from the English by Th. Arnold. The translator
is not generally mentioned, and we can find little 
about him; but he seems to be the "Theodor
Arnold" who made a German version of Mortimer’s
"Whole art of husbandry," published 1753.

----- ----- 1773. (Verz. Darmstadt, p.8; Miltitz,
Bib. Bot., col.298)
