This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ...5. R. Corylifolius. Sm. Hazel-leaved Bramble. E. B. 827. July. P. Haughton Vale, near the left bank of the Tame, about twenty yards from the wooden bridge. Common about Gorton, and Withington. Lane opposite Hough End Hall. Lane leading to Hough End Hall. Road side below Chorlton Chapel. 6. R. Vulgaris. W. and N. Common Bramble. July. P. Hedges and thickets. Very common. R. corylifolius has the lower leaflets overlapping and sessile; R. vulgaris has them shortly stalked and not overlapping, of which tins speeies is probably a mere variety. This is an extremely difficult genus, and I give my opinions upon the speeies with great diffidenee. But I have paid considerable attention to its study for the last seven years; and, although I may err in some cases, still I shall be no more unfortunate than some other more learned authors. Some of the species will, doubtless, prove to be mere varieties. 7. R. Macrophyllus. /3. Schlechtendalii. W. and N. Large leaved Bramble. E. B. S. 2625. July. P. Lane between Bucklow Hill and Mere Mere. Alderley Edge. About Wilmslow, common. Hedge on the left side of the road, near Mersey Bridge, Stretford. 8. R. Affinis. W. and N. Ovate Hairy Bramble. July.

From Aztec accounts of hibernating hummingbirds to contemporary television spectaculars, human encounters with nature have long sparked wonder, curiosity and delight. Written by leading scholars, this richly illustrated volume offers a lively introduction to the history of natural history, from the sixteenth century to the present day. Covering an extraordinary range of topics, from curiosity cabinets and travelling menageries to modern seed banks and radio-tracked wildlife, this volume draws together the work of historians of science, of environment and of art, museum curators and literary scholars. The essays are framed by an introduction charting recent trends in the field and an epilogue outlining the prospects for the future. Accessible to newcomers and established specialists alike, Worlds of Natural History provides a much-needed perspective on current discussions of biodiversity and an enticing overview of an increasingly vital aspect of human history.

Over the past four centuries botanists and gardeners in the British Isles have gathered, maintained and propagated many varying species of plants. Their work has been documented in innumerable books and articles which are often difficult to trace. The Dictionary of British and Irish Botanists and Horticulturalists represents a time-saving reference source for those who wish to discover more about the lives and achievements of the horticulturalists listed. The dictionary's utility comes not only from indicating the major publications of the named authors, but also the location of their herbaria and manuscripts.; The previous 1977 edition of the Dictionary has for many years been a much used source of information for botanists, botanic artists and archivists. In this revised edition the scope has been expanded to include among its 13,000 entries flower painters in addition to botanical artists over 1400 entries and, for the first time, garden designers.; Finally the Dictionary should have international appeal since so many botanists and gardeners worked on collective plants overseas, in particular in North America and the British Commonwealth.; Each entry gives, wherever possible, details of dates and places of birth and death, educational qualifications, professional posts, honours and awards, publications, location of plant collections, manuscripts, drawings and portraits. Its main function, however, is to provide further biographical references to books and periodicals. Comprehensive classified indices facilitate access by professions and activities, countries, and plant interests.
