Description

London, Lovell Reeve and Co., 1876. 8vo. 254 pp. Blind-stamped green cloth with gilt title on spine and front board. = With author's hand-written dedication to B. D. Jackson. Benjamin Daydon Jackson (1846-1927) wrote the first volume of Index Kewensis a work that aimed to include all the flowering plants. A review of this book dated 3/6/76 tipped in on front flyleaf verso. Endpapers spotted. Hinges weak. Some pencilled annotations in the section with plant names and their meaning (in Latin or Greek), perhaps by Jackson. Overall a good copy with an interesting provenance.
