Seller's Description:
Not Stated. Good. An informative and interesting catalogue of the exotic and indigenous plants in the Cambridge Botanic Garden in the nineteenth century. The thirteenth edition of this work. A thorough catalogue of the plants in the Cambridge Botanic Garden. There were many attempts to establish a University Botanic Garden in Cambridge, but all were unsuccessful until the 1760s. In the 1820s the garden was moved to a larger site, further from the centre of the city. James Donn, the author of this work, became the curator of the garden in 1790, and first published this work in 1796. He was a Fellow of the Linnean Society. Various other authors contributed to the expansion of this work, including F. Pursh, J. Lindley, G. Sinclair, and P. N. Don. Publisher's adverts to the pastedowns, to the recto to the front endpaper, and to the verso to the rear endpaper. In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Minor shelfwear to the boards and spine. Head of the spine to the front joint is lifting but remains firm. Minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Hinges are starting but firm. Prior owner's ink inscription to the verso to the front endpaper. Internally, generally firmly bound, though lightly strained in places. Pages are bright and clean with the odd spot and handling mark. Most pages are uncut to the fore edge. Good.
