Description

London: Printed for Richard and Arthur Taylor, 1821. In two parts. x, [2], 292, [4], 297pp, [7]. Uncut in original publisher's plain paper boards. Rubbed, some loss to head and foot of spine, splitting to joints, some marking. Upper hinge exposed, lightly foxed. From the library of C. E. Salmon with his ink inscription, dated 1918, to recto of FFEP. A catalogue of plants found in Scotland, with their Latin designations and common locations, comprised by botanist William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865). Charles Edgar Salmon (1872-1930), amateur botanist, architect, and President of the Holmesdale Natural History Club. Salmon's herbarium, comprising some 100,000 plants, was bequeathed to the British Museum upon his death. The specimens are often labelled simply his initials, a fashion of the late nineteenth century that Salmon appears to have begun, and one that often leads to confusion for cataloguers attempting ascribe ownership. . First edition. 8vo.
