Original boards, untrimmed; neatly rebacked. Some foxing, top blank margin of final leaf neatly repaired. In 1814 Bigelow published the first edition of Florula Bostoniensis--a modest volume dealing with the flora within a ten-mile radius of Boston. By 1824 he had explored the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, and this greatly enlarged second edition became the standard manual of New England botany until the appearance of Gray's work in 1848.
