Provenance: biographical inscription on endpaper of William Withering author unknown. Ancient Greek inscription epitaph [?] Third Edition. First published in two volumes, London 1776, Withering's botany "was little more than a translation of the portions of Linnaeus's writings relevant to English botany. As Withering acquired more botanical experience, however, his Botanical Arrangement became increasingly based on his first-hand observations. In the last edition published during his lifetime (1796), Withering effected a number of important taxonomic changes in the Linnaean system. He also surveyed the British cryptogams, a class of plants imperfectly described by Linnaeus" (DSB) Withering describes places of growth, time of flowering, economic uses as drugs, poisonous properties, methods of botanical investigation and preservation of specimens. His book remained a standard in British flora studies and was published through four more editions by his son between 1805 and 1830. William Withering was born in Shropshire and studied medicine in Edinburgh. He went on to work as a physician at Birmingham, where his administration of the foxglove plant to a patient with dropsy, brought him fame. Withering went on to also publish "An Account of the Foxglove and some of its Medical Use", which reported on the clinical trials and results on the effects and toxicity of digitalis, the active ingredient of the foxglove plant.
