Andres Naves. Royal folios, 4 vols. of Text and 2 vols. of 480 finely
executed and colored plates representing the Plant, its Flower, Seeds,
etc., in development. These were originally issued in 80 parts by
subscription at $320.00 the set. They were edited by Sr. Domingo Vidal y
Soler, Ingeneria de Montes, and continued at his death, by his brother,
to completion. Printed on heavy hand-made deckle-edged paper and are
bound in the original red morocco, gilt-tooled backs, and red, black and
gold illuminated cloth, heavy board sides, gilt tops, uncut. The plates
are loose in open-bound folders to match the Text. Owing to the
Destruction of the Remainder of the edition during the Bombardment of
the Philippine ports by Dewey, only about 300 copies of the work were
distributed. I have recently purchased from the widow of Senor Vidal the
few unused copies which escaped destruction, because of their being in
the United States during the Spanish-American War. The rapidly
increasing American interest in the wonderful Botany of our Island
Possessions makes this Monumental Work a necessity in our Reference
