by Lowne, Benjamin T
London: J Van Voorst, 1870. First Edition.. orig. publisher's cloth.. A very good copy.. 8vo. Ten partially colored copper plate eng's. of the microscopic anatomy. [2], (iii)iv-vi, [2], (1)2-121 pp.; 10 pls.
A marvelous piece of natural history in which Lowne is undoubtedly to be credited with priority on a number of points with regard to the microscopical anatomy of the Musca vomitoria Linn. The illustrations are painstaking renderings of microscopic anatomy that must have cost the author many hours of labor. The coloring is partial and chosen to highlight anatomical details rather than dramatise the subject. Cole II, 214. (Inventory #: 353)
