About This Item
Geneva: J.J. Paschoud, 1811. Two volumes bound in one, octavo, pp xxii, 361; 326,(i), the hinge at the first title page cracking but still firm and safe, lacking the lower corners of the the three index leaves and the corrigenda (slight loss of text), otherwise extremely clean and tight internally, original pink paper-covered boards, a contemporaru cloth spine which is splitting a little on the upper joint and rather dry. SCARCE. [From the library of C.E. Hubbard, the foremost grass taxonomist of the twentieth century, and with his signature and stamp on the front endpaper. Also with an earlier unidentified signature on the title page.]. First Edition. Quarter leather. Good.
