A nice association - and curious that Lovejoy did not add his name to this copy, considering that he wrote his name in almost everything he owned. This volume comes from the collection of Dr. Thomas Lovejoy, who was a passionate book collector as well as a renowned biologist. His collection recently came to auction near Washington DC, as we were fortunate to purchase a portion of it, which we're proud to offer here. Please email with questions or to request photos.
