Descrizione del libro

This two-volume work by botanist and author John Lindley (1799–1865) was published between 1834 and 1837. Lindley felt that there was a lack of books for people, especially women and girls, 'who would become acquainted with Botany as an amusement and a relaxation', and attempted to meet this need.
