Milano, 1929, 8vo stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 155/164 con 11 illustrazioni fotografiche. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

'incomincia dalla storia di questa pianta ed inlina a credere che fosse il trasi o malinatalle di Teofrasto... lasciando detto chiamarsi i suoi tuberi dolzolini in Italia ed habaziz in Sicilia (oggi cabasisi). Vien quindi un'accurata descrizione botanica in italiano del genere cipero e della specie di esso in disamina seguita da un'altra latina pei dotti. Enumera poi le qualita' fisiche della radice e dei tuberi ciperini e ne accenna l'analisi chimica...

The glue in this perfect bound book is over 50 years old and is likely " In 1954, Burgess had joined the British Colonial Service as a teacher and education officer in Malaya, initially stationed at Kuala Kangsar in Perak. Here he taught at the Malay College (now Malay College Kuala Kangsar MCKK), modeled on English public school lines. In addition to his teaching duties, he was a housemaster in charge of students of the preparatory school, who were housed at a Victorian mansion known as "King's Pavilion". A variety of the music he wrote there was influenced by the country, notably Sinfoni Melayu for orchestra and brass band, which included cries of Merdeka (independence) from the audience. No score, however, is extant. Burgess attained fluency in Malay, spoken and written, achieving distinction in the examinations in the language set by the Colonial Office. He was rewarded with a salary increase for his proficiency in the language. He devoted some of his free time in Malaya to creative writing "as a sort of gentlemanly hobby, because I knew there wasn't any money in it," and published his first novels: "Time for a Tiger", "The Enemy in the Blanket" and "Beds in the East". These became known as The Malayan Trilogy and were later published in one volume as "The Long Day Wanes"." -- From Black Cat Hill Books' elaborate description. First Edition Thus [1966]
