A Very Good copy. Hugo von Mohl (1805-1872) was a German botanist best known for his anatomical and physiological observations of plant cells. Mohl's work began as an article in Dr. Rudolph Wagner's "Cyclopaedia of Physiology," and was meant to provide Animal Physiology students with "analogies.between the structure and vital functions of animals and plants." Copies in the trade are quite scarce.
