4 vols., folio, vol. I wanting text and 33 plates; other-

wise QUITE PERFECT; cloth

the same. Vols. III and IV, each

The most valuable and exhaustive work on the grasses of the whole World, con-

taining 600 plates of the full size of nature, most beautifully drawn by M. Maubert, of

Paris, and engraved on copper under the guidance and inspection of M. Spach.

The Author printed the first three volumes for presentation to his friends; the

work being interrupted by his death. It was completed from the materials left by him,

by Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, a fourth volume containing plates 412-600 being pub-

lished.

Several copies of the last volume having passed into the hands of Mr. Quaritch,

he would urge upon the possessors of the first three volumes the necessity of
immediately obtaining the fourth, as the remaining two or three copies of that volume
will soon be exhausted. No more can ever be produced, as the copperplates were sold
as old metal.
