Livre Signé
Hardcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. Limited Edition. Signed by Author(s)142 pages (complete) plus index. One of a limited edition of 1200. Signed by both Burns and Skemp on the title page. This title is part of the New Series (#14) of The Records of the Queen Victoria Museum, Launceston, Tasmania. Hooker was one the most important and influential botanists of his time. He, for example, was able to persuade the government at the time to include botanists in all future exploration expeditions. Although he never visited Van Diemen's Land, these correspondents were most eager to keep Hooker up to date with their discoveries and finds. Their letters coincide with his popular tenure at the University of Glasgow and the early years of his hugely important years as Director of Kew Gardens (he expanded the gardens, for example, from 10 acres to 75). The book is in general good repair. The cover is strong and sure. It has very general shelf marking and wear to the corners and the head and foot of the spine. The front and end papers have adhesive tape residue. The frontispage has a gift inscription. The contents are in studious, calm condition. The pages are clean, clear, assured, measured and tidy. fk.
