no exsiccatal series in a strong sense; 1 edition published in 1863 in English and held by 5 WorldCat member libraries worldwide; see also Mitchell (Fern Gaz. 12(2): 65-68, 1980) under http://ebps.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Gazette-vol-12-part-2.pdf: "The 'Moffat
Fern Album' (Carruthers, 1863), or under its correct bibliographical title The Ferns of Moffat, first made its
appearance in 1863. Written by Dr. W. Carruthers, a native of Moffat employed at that time as
Assistant Keeper in the Department of Botany at the British Museum, this unsigned descriptive work appears to have been issued with the specimen pages left blank for the visiting fern enthusiasts to insert
their own self-collected examples. lt is likely however, that enterprising local entrepreneurs would take on
the task of filling-in the blank spaces with specimens, in order to re-sell the completed or part-completed
album at a suitably increased price to the less energetic or invalid visitor." |
