This massive work could only be compiled and published thanks to Charles Darwin: "Shortly before his death, Mr. Darwin informed me of his intention to devote a considerable sum in aid or furtherance of some works of utility to biological science" (from the preface by J. D. Hooker). Usually this work is found in the 1946 or later reprint. The original editions of the first five supplements, here added, are quite uncommon. The later ones were edited by Theophilus Durand and Jackson (supplement I), W. T. Thiselton-Dyer (supplement II), and by D. Prain (supplements III to V). The first supplement was published after the second, due to poor eyesight of Jackson. The 16 supplements cover the years up to 1975. The bindings of the supplements are uniform except for the last three which are bound in green bucktam, instead of green pebbled cloth; the gilt ornaments and title, however, are identical. Bindings sumptuous, but much rubbed at the edges, less so to absent in the supplements. Label at spine feet, pictorial bookplate or stamp on the front pastedowns, blind-stamp on titles; a few of the large thin leaves creased; two leaves in the first supplement torn, one leaf with a repair, otherwise a very good set.
