Contemporary full calf with black- and gold-lettered spine labels Calcutta: Printed at the Baptist Mission Press . . . 1841. First Edition. Limited to 5000 copies.

The present work was considered the best Bengali translation of the Bible produced up to that time, exceeding the previous efforts of both William Carey (1801) and John Ellerton (1819), and remaining the authoritative Bengali translation for many years. (See: The Foreign Missionary Chronicle, 1838, Vol. 6, p. 65). Published under Yatess direct supervision with attendant corrections, this is among the rarest editions of his New Testament in Bengali. This copy bears no institutional markings of any kind (a…

Contemporary half-vellum-backed marbled paper-covered boards, gilt letters on spine; title in red and black with engraved vignette, Florence, Typ. Bernardi Paperini 1729. First Edition of this major work by the father of modern mycology. Micheli was one of the most prominent botanists of his age. Linnaeus named the genus Michelia, a Southeast Asian relative of the magnolia, in his honour. He was appointed botanist to Cosimo III de Medici in 1706, and served as professor of botany in Pisa and curator of the Orto Botanico di Firenze. He discovered the spores of mushrooms, was a leading authority on cryptogams and named several important genera of microfungi. The present work marked a major advance in our knowledge of fungi. Micheli gives descriptions of 1900 plants, of which about 1400 were described for the first time. Among these were 900 fungi and lichens, accompanied by 73 plates. He…
