Preston, R. 
The modem English fruit-gardener and practical wall- 
tree pruner. London, 1785. 
Advertised in 1928 by H. G. Fiedler, 28:54, 
no.l533j cannot identify it in the histories 
of Johnson and Cecil, in Watt, Bib. Brit._, or in 
Bradley Bib. It is not found in British libra¬ 
ries like Kew and Lindley. The title is remi¬ 
niscent of some of Abercrombie’s of about that 
period; ’’The British fruit gardener, and art of 
pruning” (1779), and ”The complete wall-tree 
pruner” (1783). It seems possible this may be 
a garbled issue of some contemporary publica¬ 
tion under the name of a book-seller or print¬ 
er. Altho 7/att does not give this title, he 
does give a ”Preston, Robert”, author of "Medi¬ 
tations on the seasons, spring, summer, autumn 
and winter” (London, 1773), who might be iden¬ 
tical with the author of this work.
