Brown cloth with gilt lettering and cover decoration. Light rubbing to head and heel of spine with two tiny closed tears at head of spine, corners rubbed. Previous owner gift inscription, text is otherwise clean and bright, no marks. Beautiful full-color frontispiece with tissue guard. Profusely illustrated throughout with black and white illustrations and photographs. "Ruskin, in one of his friendly lecture-talks on art, with the sympathetic spiritual perception and originality of thought which characterize his unique genius, says: "Now, what we especially need for educational purposes, is to know, not the anatomy of plants, but their biography - how and where they live and die, their tempers, benevolences, distresses and virtues." And could we find for such a flower biography a subject more entracing, so seductive, almost eerie, so plaintively sturdy, so instilled with romance, with patriotism and with pathos, as the Highland Heather?" (from the Preface). N° de ref. del artículo B40216
