vols. is given. The last vol. was abruptly ended. A page of explanation
is bound at the end of the 3rd vol., in which it is “proposed to carry
on a New Series of these Illus.” It states also that the New Series will
be published early in 1836, which would give the approximate date of the
last vol. of this Series as 1835. Probably begun in 1832; as a complete
set like this of this Series of Illustrations is excessively rare, and
no record has been found of it being sold. Many of the New Species are
American. Several of the Anatidæ are figured. Condition and binding very

Phila. This Agreement recites that said Fremont for the sum of $250,000,
“hath demised, leased and let two certain Lots, Parcels or Measurement
of Mineral Land,” etc. The Document then describes this Land, first as
the “_Heap and Sargent Location_” on the Mariposa River. Also, another
known as “_The New Britain Location_,” situated between the Mariposa and
the Ave Maria Rivers, together called the _Mariposas_, purchased by
Fremont from Don Juan B. Alvarado, Ex-Gov. of California. The term of
this Lease is for Ten Years with Privilege and Extension up to the year
1871. This Parchment document, measuring 25½ × 21½ inches is duly signed
and witnessed by all the parties above named. On the back is sketched a
map in colors of the above Purchase, showing the Location of all the
Houses and Tents in the Town of Mariposas, and of Old-town, on the
opposite side of the Mariposas River. It states that the Large Tract was
granted by General Micheltorena, Gov. of California, to the aforesaid
Alvarado, Ex-Gov. It further shows the “_Locations of the Philadelphia
and California Mining Co._” This map was filed and recorded by R. S.
Miller, Recorder of Mariposa Co. It was “drawn by A. Zakreski, Clay St.,
above the Plaza.” The Possession of this Lease may afford considerable
satisfaction to the present owners of this Old Claim!

It would require much space to do justice to the artistic accuracy of
engraving and hand-color work of Buchoz’s sumptuous and expensive
volumes. As a whole they chiefly interest the Botanist and
Horticulturist, but, in combination with the delineation of Plants and
Flowers, are introduced numerous Birds and gaily colored Insects,
additional to those specially figured. American species from a good
percentage of the list. Quite a number of species are indicated as
_new_, and given binomials, followed by “_Nobis_,” in the Plate Indexes.
With exception of the deficiency noted in “L. Arche de Noë,” vol. 6, the
set is complete, as listed, including all the finely engraved
Title-pages and Indexes. The volumes measure about 19 × 11½ inches and
are substantially bound in half green calf and marbled boards. The
condition of binding and contents is unusually perfect. 10 vols. in 6.

Andres Naves. Royal folios, 4 vols. of Text and 2 vols. of 480 finely
executed and colored plates representing the Plant, its Flower, Seeds,
etc., in development. These were originally issued in 80 parts by
subscription at $320.00 the set. They were edited by Sr. Domingo Vidal y
Soler, Ingeneria de Montes, and continued at his death, by his brother,
to completion. Printed on heavy hand-made deckle-edged paper and are
bound in the original red morocco, gilt-tooled backs, and red, black and
gold illuminated cloth, heavy board sides, gilt tops, uncut. The plates
are loose in open-bound folders to match the Text. Owing to the
Destruction of the Remainder of the edition during the Bombardment of
the Philippine ports by Dewey, only about 300 copies of the work were
distributed. I have recently purchased from the widow of Senor Vidal the
few unused copies which escaped destruction, because of their being in
the United States during the Spanish-American War. The rapidly
increasing American interest in the wonderful Botany of our Island
Possessions makes this Monumental Work a necessity in our Reference

y de un apendice con todos las nuevas investig. Botanicas referentes
ARCHIPELAGO FILIPINO. Gran Edicion hecha a expensas de la Provin, de
Augustinos Calzados de Filipinas bajo la direction Cientifica del P.
Fr. Andres Naves.
Manila, 1877-1890.
Royal Folio, four volumes of Text and two volumes of 480 finely
executed and Colored Plates representing the Plant, its Flower, Seeds,
etc. in development. These were originally issued in 80 parts by
subscription at $320.00 the set. They were edited by Sr. Domingo Vidal
y Soler, Ingeneria de Montes, and continued at his death, by his
brother, to completion. Printed on heavy handmade deckle-edged paper
and are bound in the original red morocco, gilt-tooled backs, and red,
black and gold illuminated cloth, heavy board sides, gilt tops, uncut.
The Plates are loose in open-bound folders to match the Text.
Owing to the Destruction of the Remainder of the edition during the
Bombardment of the Philippine ports by Dewey, only about 300 copies of
the work were distributed. I have recently purchased from the widow of
Senor Vidal the few unused copies which escaped destruction, because
of their being in the United States during the Spanish-American War.
The rapidly increasing American interest in the wonderful Botany of
our Island Possessions makes this Monumental Work a necessity in our
Reference Libraries.
Reduced from $285.00 to $165.00.
