This volume is vellum-bound, the paper watermarked for C. HARRIS 1846, the stationer's label for FREDERICK WALLER, 49 Fleet Street, London, the front free end-paper with Gosse's name written as in plate 4 of FREEMAN & WERTHEIMER Bibliography, the front board with label 'INFUSORIA.4.', the rear board with 'Journal' in script. A pencil note in Richard Freeman's hand, signed by him, reads : 'Given to me on my sixtieth birthday. 1 April 1975.' *The major portion of the Infusoria comprises detailed descriptions of some 75 species of Rotifer, each entry dated, with reference to a figure, the location found [many from Hampstead Heath, Berger's Lily Pond, the fountains of Trafalgar Square, Kensington Palace]. Part 2 is primarily a list of approx. 31 species, most of which are ascribed GOSSE, some with the postscript 'n.sp.' [new species?]. SEE - FREEMAN and WERTHEIMER Bibliography, 1980, #169-172 (1886-1889) - 'The rotifers had early attracted Gosse's attention and he had published seventeen papers on them, the first in 1850. He had also accumulated a large amount of unpublished descriptions and drawings.' F & W also refer to Gosse's original manuscripts : 'One of Gosse's notebooks on rotifers which was used in his articles in the Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society and then in this book, is in the Zoological Library of the British Museum (Natural History); another, entitled 'Drawings of Rotifera; by Philip Henry Gosse, F.R.S. Sept. 1886' is in the University of Toronto (see Nos. 399-401). A large bound folio volume entitled 'The original drawings of the Rotifera (Clifton, 1886)' at the Royal Society (MS 132) contains mostly original drawings by Hudson, some copies by him of Gosse's drawings, and some original ones by Gosse himself.' The rarity of this volume speaks for itself ! The ALS from Fred Dystan - 'Dear Gosse I am glad you are better, which I suppose I may assume from your writing. I think it is great humbug that you won't let me name my own beast. I use the word in a Pickwickian sense but I see no impropriety in your working on a beast I had already named. However I must leave it with you, as I cannot undertake to publish it myself.'. There is, in addition, a second letter from this correspondent, 7 sides, dated Oct.7th.1856, dealing with details of the Rotiferae.

In fact, to tell you what is worth seeing - where to see it - where to go - how to go - and whom to stop with while passing over the Union Pacific Railroad, Central Pacific Railroad of Cal., Their Branches and Connections by Stage and Water, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Illustrated. Crofutt and Eaton, Chicago 1870. 244 + woodcut plates and numerous coloured leaves of advertisements. The last leaves [p. 241-44, two paes of ads + woddcut of Native American Peace Chief of the Shoshone] lacking, but enclosed in photocopies. Also the foldable timetable between ps. 16 and 17 only has a stub the size of on page left [we haven't been able to find a copy of this]. Bound with the original woodcut front wrapper [a bit soiled and restored at the edges] in a almost contemporary half calf binding with stamped sidepapers. No spine title. A little soiling here and there. A nice, solid copy, even with the flaws of a few missing leaves. * Very scarce. Fantastic travel guide to propel you back in time to the first year of the Transcontinental Railroad, one of the major engineering achivements of the 19th century. The railroad was finished in 1869, so this is the first major guide for the average American to go see the mighty land by train. The advertisments take you right back to the everyday life of 150 years ago, where you can buy matresses, furs, watches - and even go to Tiffany & Co. on 550 Braodway and buy 'Fancy Goods'.
