Description:
Box containing notebook and one modern envelope inscribed <Pertinet ad Linnaei Manuscr. Med., 1> and <Linn. Pat. General 2> and carrying a note saying <3 leaves “Bibliotheca” removed to Bibliography Botany Sept. 1971>, which holds various paper slips and fascicles with notes.
The volume was bound from a number of fascicles, each stitched together separately and then bound. Most of these fascicles contain careful and well-organised excerpts from a specific work in neat handwriting, the first page sometimes emulating the title page of printed books.
