Decorative Cloth. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Alpine Plants of Europe. Foxing to edge and some pages. Ex-libris name sticker to inside cover. Small tear to top edge of spine. Slightly worn and bumped corners. Green cloth with gilt decoration and lettering. This book owes it origin chiefly to the fact that there is no well-illustrated work in the English language descriptive of the Flowering Plants of the whole range of the Alps. The aim has been to give botanical descriptions of the more beautiful and interesting species indigenous to the High Alps and other mountains of Europe, and some which are found chiefly in subalpine districts, together with a few Southern rock-plants, but which should never ben called 'Alpine', as is too often the case. Some 700 species, and a few marked varieties, are here described. The author has had the opportunity of using the beautiful illustrations of Alpine flowers painted from nature by Joseph Seboth, and he has added a couple of small drawings of his own. With 64 coloured Plates (311 Figures). 287 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

An interesting letter from Flemwell, written while working on his 1910 A. and C. Black book 'Alpine Flowers and Gardens Painted'. In good condition, with envelope carrying Swiss stamps and postmarks, addressed to 'H. Stuart Thompson Esqre. / Forest View; / Vale Rd.; / Upper Parkstone; / Dorset.' 4pp, 12mo. Eight-six lines of text, including pencil postscript. He begins: 'Dear Thompson; / After finishing a new chapter, & before starting upon another, I really must break off & write to you!' He thanks him for 'so many "kind attentions"', adding that 'Every fresh article of your's [sic] I like better than the last.' An example between the 'ten-league strides' that Thompson is making is the difference between his '"Kerry" article & those articles you sent a year ago to the "Teachers' Times"': 'One would hardly think they were by the same man.' He discusses Thompson's 'notice of Arber's book' and 'remarks about English v Latin names', and may add a quotation from him, but he 'mustn't put you too often in the book if you write the Preface! It will look too much as if we were "scatching each other's backs"!? / And what do you think of a short Introduction in French from M. Correvon - as well as a Preface in English from you?' He explains that 'the book is a double one: it is an Appreciation of the Pastures (Part I) , and Part II is a Suggestion for the Adoption of such pastures in England. [.] a word in French from Correvon adds an interest which appeals to the Swiss, & it influences the reception & sale of the book over here. As a matter of "business", therefore, I think it is wise.' He continues on the subject of the 'two Introductions', and if Thompson has no objection, he will take his pictures to Geneva, to show them to Correvon, as soon as he has retouched them and 'put them quite in order'. 'I have to-day received them from the man who has mounted them in Lausanne; &, in looking through them as they now are, I can see another week's work on them.' He ends with an enquiry about Thompson's own book, giving the 'dogmatic advice' that he should not allow himself to be 'led off into Politics': It's an empty business; it's not your sphere - nor mine. Leave it to the Jones's!' Postscript: 'Sleighing, ski-ing & luging in full swing; but few English at present here. Winter has come to stay!' Together with this item is an ALS from Thompson to 'Mr. Cox', beginning: 'I can't find a short letter from Flemwell which I can spare, but enclose a longer one with his autograph. I fear there is rather much about myself in it, but that was often his custom.' The rest of the letter concerns a 'framed C. B. Branwhite' which Thompson has offered to Cox. …
