Nauk, 1824. 8vo, bound in modern buckram with original wrappers bound in. Two parts bound in one. Untrimmed, Good. PROVENANCE: With the early ownership signature of Charles C. Frost of Brattleboro, VT, title with a gift inscription to him dated 1859. Charles C. Frost (1805–1880) of Brattleboro, Vermont, was one of America's pioneering nineteenth-century botanists and mycologists. The contemporary gift inscription from New Haven, dated 1859, places the volume in Frost's possession during the height of his scientific career. Frost described numerous North American fungi, and his botanical collections are now preserved in major institutional herbaria, including Harvard University and the University of Vermont.
