Description: London, Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown and Green. 1829. Book, A Compendium of the English Flora by Sir James Edward Smith published by Longman Rees Orme Brown & Green London 1829. 220 pages size 18 cm by 11 cm. Tastefully rebound in dark green cloth boards. The fore title page has been reinserted but retains its original owner's signature and pencil notes. The book's uniqueness is the result of the handwritten observations of a nineteenth century botanist who added notes in pencil to the endpapers and ticked all of the plants which he or she had seen in ink in the text. The ink ticks are fairly small and do not obscure the type. VG condition. Owner's signature to front endpaper. Images available.
