| Description | The inscription reads: 'Robt Brown Esq with the Author's best Regards'.
The item has been annotated in another hand to say that the page is the flyleaf from a copy of Dr Buckland's 'Bridgwater Treatise', presented to Robert Brown [1773-1858, botanist] by the author.
The printed handlist names the author as Dr Francis Trevelyan Buckland [1826-1880, pisciculturist and naturalist] but Dr William Buckland [1784-1856, geologist and dean of Westminster] wrote the Bridgewater Treatise 'Geology and Mineralogy' (1836). |
