Item description from seller

[1831 - 1849]. Four volumes, octavo, illustrated with approximately 366 hand coloured plates, four of which are folding, generally in very good condition, occasionally printed on slightly duller paper, recently bound in a plain but qood quality brown cloth, slight markings to the upper cover of one volume. Volume I - plates 2593 - 2692, extremely clean and bright. Volume II - plates 2693 - 2796, the first ten plates and text have faint fold markings, otherwise very clean and bright. Volume III - plates 2798 - 2866 (lacking 2797?), one plate with a paper crease, probably a production fault. Volume IV - is where it gets complicated. The plates and text are now bound, more or less, in systematic order - 2886, 2908, 2951, 2918, 2916, 2955, 2943, 2922, 2898, 2944, 2928, 2917, 2906, 2934, 2905, 2903, 2952, 2900, 2935, 2903, 2909, 2892, 2893, 2891, 2890, 2895, 2887, 2968, 2870, 2930, 2946, 2914, 2897, 2958, 2875, 2953, 2876, 2877, 2904, 2950, 2868, 2949, 2960, 2945, 2929, 2915, 2884, 2931, 2896, 2910, 2885, 2923, 2895, 2924, 2880, 2932, 2901, 2887, 2919, 2888, 2936, 2878, 2871, 2942, 2907, 2925, 2947, 2873, 2874, 2957, 2902, 2872, 2921, 2912, 2882, 2881, 2938, 2937, 2889, 2894, 2948, 2913, 2879, 2889, 2911, 2940, 2920, 2959, 2941, 2954, 2926, 2927, 2958, 2939, 2933. [lacking 2883 & 2940 ?]. The paper in this last volume is of poorer quality, with a little age-toning, occasional scattered light blemishes or foxing. RARE. A further volume was published in 1863, but is not present here, but all volumes are exceedingly scarce. A vital addition to the first edition of English Botany, but rarely to be found. In the advertisement to Volume I it explains that the death of Sowerby in 1822, and Smith in 1828, delayed any possibility of the publication of these new discoveries. However Sowerby's two sons were now embarking on this venture, which they originally thought would be complete in two volumes. Latterly, the descriptions were completed by eminent botanists such as C.C. Babington, William Borer, M.J. Berkeley and William Wilson.
