980. Blanco, Manuel. Flora de Filipinas, Adicionada con el Manuscrito Inedito del P. Fr. Ignacio Mercado las Obras del P. Fr. Antonio Llanos y de un Apendice con Todos las Neuvas Investig. Botanicas referentes Archipelago Filipino. Gran Edicion hecha a expensas de la Provin. de Augustinos Calzados de Filipinas bajo la direction Cientifica del P. Fr. 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 Libraries. Manila, 1877-90.$165.00
