Descripción

Lund, Gleerup, 1829. Small 8vo (16.3 x 10.0 cm). Title page, [ii], 90 pp. Original marbled wrappers. = A very rarely seen essay by the great botanist, phycologist, mathematician (!) and theologist Carl Adolph Agardh (1785-1859). In this work, Agardh enumerates and describes several parts of which a plant is made - in particular the plant stem - and - based upon this he formulates new theories upon their functions, comparing previous ideas formulated by Grew, Duhamel, Malpighi, and others. From Grew he took the following quote, placed as motto on the title page verso: "How far I have gone? I neither judge myself, nor leave to anyone else to do it, because no man knows, how far we have yet to go, or are capable of going" (Grew, prefacae to Anatomy of plants, published in 1672). Uncut, unmarked. A very good, clean copy. Cat. BM(NH), p.15. Not in Stafleu and Cowan.
