In very good condition, here we have a scarce antique copy of "Principia Botanica: or, a Concise and Easy Introduction to the Sexual Botany of Linnaeus," written by Robert Waring Darwin who was the great-uncle of Charles Darwin, the famous evolutionary naturalist. Published in 1810, a third edition by Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme of London. In a later, fine leather binding. More details below. ***At time of listing there are no other copies for sale anywhere on the internet.*** A 326-page guide laid out in clear, scannable columns and tables. Written to help students easily navigate Carl Linnaeus's "Sexual System" of plant classification. Featuring three comprehensive indexes linking common English plant names to their formal Latin genera. Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound. Has an inked name at the top of the title page, also the odd word or pencil tick in the text - but nothing too obtrusive. Unillustrated. Untrimmed fore-edge. Some tanning to the outer page edges. Newer endpapers which would have been added when the later leather re-binding was done. In a fine, full-polished calf-leather with blind stamped border decoration to the upper front and lower back panels. Five raised bands to the spine, with ornate gilt decoration in the compartments. All very good indeed, just a few light scuffs to the spine - but minor. A lovely looking volume. H 24 cm x W 16 cm, 326 pages plus indices, 0.61 kg.

Store description
Thank you for your interest. I have been selling online since 2014 but started in the book trade back in 1993. I specialise in Jane Austen, The Brontë sisters, Victorian and Regency literature. Also decorative bindings, cookery, natural history and the Golden Age of Illustration. Whilst having these as specialisms I aim for my shop to reflect and stock the broadest range of high quality finds on any subject and in the past have stocked titles as wide-ranging as Oppenheimer documents to early Titanic publications. Whilst new to Abebooks I have over 1,000 five-star reviews on Etsy (where I am a Star Seller), and over 4,000 followers on Instagram @bumperboxofdelights I am a proud member of the IOBA. I take particular pride in the high quality of my book photography, descriptions and customer service. I look forward to helping you find beautiful books for the collector or for a special gift.
