About this Item

First Edition, 8vo. xiv + [ii] + 98 pp. + [6] pp. catalogue. Illustrated with one double-page hand-coloured lithographic map of Faversham and district and one engraved uncoloured map of the Isle of Thanet. Bound in twentieth century cloth with the original label affixed to upper board. A very good copy of this rare item. This work was only produced once, and the print-run must have been very small, as we have not catalogued a single example for over 30 years. As a comment on Jacob's 'Flora of Faversham' this gives an update and retrospect to that work and adds a further 21 'first' records for the county. Very little seems to be known about Mr Cowell other than his membership of various Botanical Societies: and this - his lasting memorial.
