Book excerpt: "The most crystalline water could scarcely more delicately float these lace-like trophies of the Garden of the Sea than do [the] . pages [of this work]" (preface to vol.IV). "It will be seen that a full and accurate history of each species has been given; and where the species has not been such as to allow of its being Nature-Printed, engraved magnified dissections have been introduced into the text. The work will be continued on the same plan" (Advertisement, in vol.I). The final tally of 222 plates includes 220 that are nature-printed. They are printed in two or more colours, most plates include a single nature-printed specimen with engraved magnified dissections, but there are occasional plates which include more than one specimen and no engraved dissections. The process that Henry Bradbury employed to print the present plates was first developed in 1853 by Alois Auer, Director of the Government Printing Office of Vienna. Bradbury learnt details of the process in Vienna and subsequently brought the knowledge and equipment to England. The plates were produced by passing the object to be reproduced between a steel plate and a lead plate, through two rollers. The high pressure exerted imbeds the object (in the present case examples of sea-weed) into the lead plate. Coloured inks are subsequently applied to this stamped lead plate, and a printed copy can be produced. If more than one colour is needed then several were applied individually, by hand, to appropriate areas of the plate but all the colours would then be printed together from one pull of the press. Very few books were printed using this process, and two of the best were produced by Henry Bradbury: the first was published in 1857 (The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland) and the present work is the second. Ferns and seaweeds proved to be ideal subjects for nature-printing: the process was particularly successful with the thin two-dimensional fronds of ferns and seaweed -- Abe books website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Sea-Weeds, Vol. 1: Drawn From Professor Harvey's "Phycologia Britannica"; With Descriptions, an Amateur's Synopsis, Rules for Laying Out Sea-Weeds, an Order for Arranging Them in the Herbarium, and an Appendix of New Species Even the happy people of whom the strange phrase is used, that money is no object to them, cannot command fate altogether. They are mortal in respect of their minds; and cannot, with all appliances, get away from the inexorable law which rules that whoever would find the world interesting must work out an interest in it for himself. Much may be done, it is true, by unlimited wealth, to stave off the hour of ennui, but nothing answers so effectually as a healthy, earnest employment, whether of body or mind. Everything but what a man labours for becomes weari some to him after a time-a cherished occupation never; for although on some particular day he may have tired himself in its pursuit, the object pursued is as dear to him as ever, when the next morning's sun wakes him from the blessing of rest to the still higher blessing of exertion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cool temperate waters of the British and Irish seas contain an astonishing 6% of the world’s algal species, more than 600 different seaweeds, and yet most divers, snorkellers and rockpoolers can put names to only a handful of them. The first edition of Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland has proved invaluable to an enormous number of people, not just volunteer Seasearch divers and snorkellers, and this eagerly awaited second edition will no doubt prove to be equally as popular. The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the wonderful marine environment around Britain and Ireland, and improve identification of the wealth of seaweeds so often overlooked. Features of the new edition include: ● Over 230 species described in detail with colour photographs, information on size, habitat and distribution maps ● Over 50 new species, many with information on how to identify to species level using microscopic features ● Key distinguishing features and areas of identity confusion highlighted ● Colour and form used to group species and aid identification using dichotomous keys ● Details of life histories and reproductive processes for the main seaweed groups ● Both scientific and English names used for species and groups ● A glossary of common and specialised terms

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phycologia Britannica, or a History of British Sea-Weeds, Vol. 1 of 3: Containing Coloured Figures, Generic and Specific Characters, Synonymes, and Descriptions of All the Species of Algae Inhabiting the Shores of the British Islands With regard to the method of publication, two plans suggest themselves, each of which has its advantages. The first is, having taken a View of the whole subject, to adopt a Systematic Order; to commence with the first genus of the arrangement, to go re gularly through the species, then those of the next and following genera, and so on to the conclusion of the work. Thus the se veral tribes would follow in correct order; the first plates would represent the highest or the lowest type of organization, as either was selected as a starting point, and those that followed would exhibit a regular gradation Of affinity to the Opposite end of the series. This is the course which, were the work to issue as a whole from the press, one would naturally follow; but in an ex tensive periodical work which it will take five years to complete.
