Item description from seller

An uncommon microscopy work from Mordecai Cubitt Cooke, attractively illustrated with plates. Uncommon in commerce. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Illustrated with a frontispiece, twelve plates and a range of relevant figures. Collated, complete. Containing a number of pages of contemporary microscopy advertisements, including to both paste downs and over ten pages to the rear. Undated, dated from the preface. A fascinating microscopy handbook in two parts, Part One explaining the practical elements, including extensive notes on mounting, and Part Two cataloguing one thousand objects, as seen through the microscope. Written by the prominent botanist and mycologist Mordecai Cubitt Cooke, who held a number of notable positions, including at Kew Gardens and the India Museum. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor bumping and rubbing, leading to slight loss of cloth, particularly to the spine head and tail, and light marking to the boards. Internally, generally firmly bound, a little weaker surrounding pages 68, 84 and 164. A bright and clean copy with mild age toning and the odd spot, more common to the first and last few pages. Very Good.
