Synopsis of the British Seaweeds, compiled from Professor Harvey's Phycologia Britannica

London, Lovell Reeve, 1857.

Duodecimo, viii, 220 (last blank), 24 (publishers' catalogue, dated 1 August 1857) pages.

Gilt- and blind-decorated cloth; essentially a fine copy.

The front flyleaf has the contemporary blindstamp of J. Walsh & Sons, Booksellers, Launceston and the signature of Sam Hannaford. Trove records that Samuel Hannaford (1827-1874) was the librarian at the Tasmanian Public Library in Hobart, and author of a number of books of Australian natural history and travel. A later owner has noted a few of these details in ink on the pastedown.
