520 _a"British Pomology" by Robert Hogg is a detailed scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the history, description, classification, and synonymy of fruits and fruit trees in Great Britain, with a particular emphasis on apples. The work is intended for pomologists and horticulturists, providing an extensive reference for understanding and cultivating various fruit varieties. At the start of the book, the author emphasizes the significance of pomology, lamenting the decline in its study and highlighting the efforts of historical figures like Mr. Knight and the Horticultural Society of London. He provides an overview of the apple, discussing its cultural relevance and botanical characteristics. Hogg explains the apple's widespread cultivation in Britain and traces its history, touching upon its indigenous nature and early records from ancient times. The author introduces both the fruit’s culinary uses and its botanical classification, launching into a comprehensive examination of various apple varieties, classified by their physical traits, flavors, and growing conditions.
