Marbled endpapers. = A seldom-seen entomological work by the Swedish botanist and entomologist Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828), a student or 'apostle' of Linnaeus, defended as a thesis by one of his own students, Samuel Türner (1762-1822).

Maurice Royer (1878-1942) was a French entomologist and Hemiptera specialist. Front board somewhat discoloured near the spine, light, mostly marginal foxing, otherwise a very good, unmarked copy.
