They have John Parkinson's *Theatrum botanicum: The theater of
plants*(London, Thomas Cotes, 1640). HI Library call no. CA P247t but
no digital
copy. Although books.google.com has digitized several versions and half of
one is available to read, none are available for download. The
archive.orgsite has none.
