About This Item
London: J. Davis for B. White et Filiorum, 1792. Engraved frontispiece, (a little browned, as is ithe title page), twelve folding plates with slight offsetting and more age-toning and three with a little staining but otherwise good, octavo, pp l, 390, [16], light age-toning and occasional light foxing, the hinge after the title page slightly open but absolutely no weakness, quite a few interesting early neat marginal notes, bound in contemporary boards, a bit worn and marked, a recent brown leather spine, slightly scuffed. With the armorial bookplate of George Augustus Thursby; it is likely that he contributed the manuscript notes. [In the first edition of Flora Lapponica (1737] Linnaeus's ideas about nomenclature and classification were first used in a practical way, making that the first proto-modern flora. This upddate by Smith, cites Linnaeus as the main author and uses Linnaeus' binomial nomenclature.]. Second edition. Quarter leather. Very Good.
