"Coloured Engravings of Heaths; Vol. 1" by Henry Cranke Andrews is a botanical publication written in the early 19th century. The work showcases a detailed collection of colored engravings depicting various species of heaths, illustrating them from living plants and providing extensive descriptions including their specific characteristics, native habitats, and flowering periods. This volume appears to cater to botanists and enthusiasts interested in the classification and beauty of these flowering plants. The opening of this work presents a foreword by the author that addresses the scope and methodology behind his illustrations. Andrews emphasizes that the images are derived from cultivated specimens rather than indigenous plants, which might affect their picturesque qualities. He explains his commitment to scientific accuracy over aesthetic embellishment, arguing that his work aims to provide precise representations that aid in the identification and understanding of each species. Furthermore, he outlines the categorical approach he adopted for organizing the heaths, indicating a systematic classification based on the widely used Linnæan system.
