Spines with script title in an old hand. = Second of four botanical journals with this (short) title (the others starting in 1808, 1887, and 1993 respectively). Well-illustrated. Among the contributers we find such eminent botanists as Desvaux, Mirbel, Tussac, Palisot de Beauvois, Jaume Saint-Hilaire, du Petit Thouars, Audebart de Férussac, De Launay, etc.. Several important papers and descriptions and illustrations of new species are included. This is, after a four year gap, a successor of the Journal de Botanique, rédigé par une société de botanistes. This volume is the first of a series of just four, published 1813-1814. Provenance: the name Trembley written in an old hand onthe half-title. Light shelf wear to the boards; some, mostly marginal spotting throughout, small damp stain to the fore edge. Otherwise a very good copy. Cat. BM(NH), p. 945.
