Item description from seller

A unique item due to it's profuse marginalia, dated around the 1840s, including detailed illustrations, many in colour. [2]+386pp.+32pp.+xv index. Rebound at some point in burgundy boards with brown hessian spine cloth. Front hinge cracked after title page; remaining firmly bound. The contents are very lightly age toned with only the very occasional spot of foxing. Almost every leaf contains marginalia, mostly pencil, often numerous entries per page, these being a variety of species sightings with dates (1840s), specific notes around the descriptions, extra information brought in from other sources (often cited), some notes on contradictions, and drawings showing a good level of both skill and understanding, with varying levels of detail, in either pencil or a colour medium. There are also a number of slips of paper tucked in at appropriate places with extra notes and drawings, and others containing species lists. A small number of dried leaf specimens showing fungal activity are tucked inside. See photos. A delight for any fungi collector.…
