On front flyleaf in pencil is an unsigned note about when Joseph Banks and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences received copies from the author. Pages unevenly trimmed. Ms. annotations in pencil throughout and on pl. 3. Both hinges are cracked and there is evidence of old front and back flyleaves missing, but they were likely removed during rebinding. P. 423/424 is coming loose from sewing where hinge is cracked.
