Field, Forest, and Garden Botany by Asa Gray - 1868: A Simple Introduction to the Common Plants of the United States East of the Mississippi, Both Wild and Cultivated

"Field, Forest, and Garden Botany:
A Simple Introduction to the Common Plants of the United States East of the Mississippi, Both Wild and Cultivated" by Asa Gray, 1868

This is the original version of a classic work of botany, that went through many revisions and editions, by one of the most important American scientists of the 19th century. Gray's (prolific) work made formal botany broadly accessible.
Possibly first edition; no indication of reprint, and cover looks like images of original

Book is in very good shape (see photos). Slight tearing at binding of front cover. Otherwise only moderate wear on covers, and interior clean, tight, intact. Slight darkening/fading of pages.
