Published in 1774, this tract considers the characteristics, cultivation and uses of the coffee plant. Written by John Ellis (c.1710–76), botanist, zoologist and London agent for Dominica, it includes the story of coffee's introduction into Europe. Ellis's 1770 work on transporting plants overseas is also reissued in this volume.
