1837023181London Edinburgh & Glasgow: Longman Orme Brown Green and Longman; Leyland and Son; Adam & Charles Black; John Smith & Sons 1837. Octavo pp viiiiii 354 age-toned and a little used edges untrimmed light staining to the top margins throughout slightly heavier staining to the early pages at the lower inner margins errata slip loosely inserted at page 1 recently bound in a dark green pebble cloth a paper title label on the spine. This copy has numerous ephemera insertions pasted in: four nespaper cuttings five publisher's advertisements including one for the rare fern book by Jane Patison and two publisher's catalogues from William Pamplin. There are two early inscriptions on the title page - 'Royal Botanic Garden Library. Presented by Mr Thos Walker Carluke' and 'Withdrawn Oct 1888. Isaac Bayley Balfour Keeper'; so it was originally presented to RBGEdinburgh but Balfour disposed of it presumably as it was a duplicate. The work is extremely rare. A further volume was planned but never published due to the death of the author; but printed partial copies DO exist. The catalogue of RBG Kew states that five copies are known. Stafleu has an extensive note regarding this and for taxonomc purposes it seems to be a matter of semantics as to whether the extant copies are "published" or not !. First Edition. Cloth. Good.

Large octavo pp viii 474 ii some foxing and age-toning throughout but otherwise very sound internally bound in half cloth and marbled boards probably early twentieth century slightly rubbed. One of the cornerstones of nineteenth century grass taxonomy. The second part concerned Cyperaceae. RARE and one of the best possible provenances - Eduard Hackel's copy with his extensive manuscript notes and insertions throughout. It then passed to the Dutch agrologist Pieter Jansen who gifted it to C.E. Hubbard after a visit to the Kew Herbarium. ERNST GOTTLIEB VON STEUDEL was born at Esslingen am Neckar in Baden-Württemberg. He was educated at the University of Tübingen earning his medical doctorate in 1805. Shortly afterwards he settled into a medical practice in his hometown of Esslingen and in 1826 became the chief state physician in what had become the Kingdom of Württemberg. In 1825 together with Christian Ferdinand Friedrich Hochstetter 1787-1860 he organized an organization in Esslingen known as Unio Itineraria Württembergischer botanische severein. The purpose of this society was to send young botanists out into the world to discover and collect plants in all of their varieties thus promoting and expanding botanical studies and herbaria throughout the Kingdom and beyond. Hochstetter himself traveled to Portugal Madeira and the Azores and Steudel was able to create a herbarium of over 20000 species. EDUARD HACKEL 1850 - 1926 was an Austrian botanist. HE studied at the Polytechnical Institute in Vienna and became substitute teacher at a high school in St. Pölten in 1869. He became full professor of natural history there upon obtaining his teaching certificate in 1871 and remained in this position until his retirement in 1900. He published his first agrostology papers on grasses in 1871 and soon became known as a world expert agrostologist on the grass family Poaceae. While he himself undertook only a single collecting trip - to Spain and Portugal he was charged with working up collections of grasses mainly from Japan Taiwan New Guinea Brazil and Argentina. Apart from agrostologisty systematics Hackel also contributed to the morphology and histology of members of the grass family. The genus Hackelochloa Poaceae is named for him. C.E. HUBBARD of RBG Kew was probably the foremost grass taxonomist of the twentieth century. First Edition. Half cloth and boards. Good. J.B. Metzler Hardcover
