The paper in this last volume is of poorer quality with a little age-toning occasional scattered light blemishes or foxing. RARE. A further volume was published in 1863 but is not present here but all volumes are exceedingly scarce. A vital addition to the first edition of English Botany but rarely to be found. In the advertisement to Volume I it explains that the death of Sowerby in 1822 and Smith in 1828 delayed any possibility of the publication of these new discoveries. However Sowerby's two sons were now embarking on this venture which they originally thought would be complete in two volumes. Latterly the descriptions were completed by eminent botanists such as C.C. Babington William Borer M.J. Berkeley and William Wilson. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good. Sold by the Proprietor J.
