Either Prices fetched are in the right-hand margin and what appear to be the bids of the owner of the catalogue in the left-hand margin.

The stories and excerpts in this book are divided into two parts: the first concerning the Klondike and the second with the sea which are the settings for his best work. The Lyons Press, unknown

73725London The Linnean Society of London 1875-1905. Six volumes in six. Large 4to 29.1 x 23.3 cm. Text; numerous plates. Volume I in contemporary polished half calf over marbled boards. Gilt ornamental lines and black morocco label with gilt title on the spine; Volumes II-VI: uniform later i.e. contemporary with the last volume blue buckram with gilt title on the spines. Speckled edges. = One of the most important periodicals in the field of botany with numerous fine monographs and certainly one of the best-illustrated too.
