Descrizione
First edition, 4 vols., small 4to (245 x 200 mm), printed titles and indices, 350 original mounted specimens of Fugi, with printed labels, volumes 1 and 2 contemporary morocco-backed boards (one cover detached, worn), volumes 3 and 4 publisher's boards, one lacking spine. A remarkable work in the of mycology, providing a visual and physical record of British fungi. Miles Joesph Berkeley (1803-1889), a Church of England clergyman and naturalist and to be later known as ëthe father of British mycologyí. He contributed the section on British fungi to Sir James Edward Smithís ëThe English Floraí which was published in 5 volumes from 1824 to 1836. Here he presents the dried specimens which he had described in Smithís work. For obvious reasons fungal exsiccatae are much rarer than other species of the genus and complete set are seldom meet with. This being the only complete set to appear at auction in the past 70 years. Provenance: Andrew Fountaine library; the library of Michael Walpole (1933-2009), founding member of the Loughborough Naturalistsí Club.
