‎First edition of Schouw's main work, the first systematic expostion and general survey of this new science, Plant-geography, whose main lines were laid out by Willdenow and A.v. Humboldt. ""Schouws Plantegeographie er et af den botaniske Litteraturs Hovedværker"" i Danmark udkom intet Værk i denne Periode, der kan stilles ved Siden af det, og vi skal helt op til Warmings ""Plantesamfund"", før vi i dansk-botanisk Litteratur træffer et Værk, der i Betydning kan maale sif med det."" (Carl Christensen). (i.e. English: ""Schouw's Plant Geography is one of the main works in botanical literature"" in Denmark, no work was published during this period that can be compared to it, and we must go all the way up to Warming's 'Plant Communities' before we encounter a work in Danish botanical literature that can measure up to it in significance."") From the library of Niels Fabritius Buchwald (1898-1986) was a Danish mycologist and plant pathologist, born in Aalborg. He served as a professor at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University from 1944 to 1968. Buchwald authored numerous works in mycology and plant pathology, including both scientific papers and popular science books like ""Spise- og Giftsvampe"" (1937) and ""Land- og havebrugsplanternes svampesygdomme"" (1980). He was also a co-editor of the mycological journal Friesia from 1932 and Naturhistorisk Tidende from 1937. In recognition of his contributions, he became a member of the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences in 1956.‎

A fourth part of volume 2 came out as late as 1810, having 14 plates and it is sometimes called volume 3. It is not present here.‎

‎Scarce first edition of Schreber's classic work on grasses, which became of importance due to its very elaborate explanations of all aspects of the numerous grasses mentioned and depicted in the 40 plates, which are considered very well executed, both in regard to drawing, engraving, and colouring. Schreber (1739-1810) was a German physician and natural scientist. He became famous for his diverse knowledge and for his scientific works within botany and zoology. He studied medicine and natural science in Uppsala, Sweden, where he became doctor of medicine and made the acquaintance of Carl von Linné, whom he learned a lot from. In 1787 he became a member of the Swedish Academy of Sciences. In Germany he became professor of medicine, botany, natural history, and pharmacology at Erlangen, director of Erlangen botanical garden, and president of the Leopoldina. His work on grasses was considered fairly important, especially due to its very elaborate explanations of all parts of the particular grasses, its use, conditions, etc. etc. ""Dr. Schreber, a pupil of the great Linnæus, and a son to one of the best writers on husbandry in Germany, is publishing in numbers a work on grasses: his plan we will communicate to the reader, as it bids fair to obviate the greater part of the enumerated difficulties, and greatly to promote the study of this useful branch of botany and husbandry. In an introductory discourse, Dr. Schreber describes all the different parts observable in grasses, their flowers and their fructification"" so that this part may be considered as a ""philosophia Agrostographia"". He next observes the points which must be attended to in a good description of grass"" and, lastly, he shews the extensive utility of this branch of botany. The first volume contains twenty-seven descriptions, and as many excellent drawings of grasses, on twenty coloured plates…"" (a contemporary review of the work, from Smollett's ""The Critical Review, or, Annals of Literature, Vol. 32). Schreber was obviously inspired by Linné, as will be seen from the systematic account of the different grasses described and depicted in the present work, although he refused to group the grasses under certain genera. We are provided with the first name of each grass represented as well as with all its varieties, and names in almost all European languages, whereafter follows an extensive description of that particular grass, containing everything that is known about it - where it grows, under which circumstances, in which soil, its time of flowering, when it brings ripe seeds, etc. We are also provided with extensive information as to its cultivation, on the cattle which like it best, on the authors who have written about it, on the medicinal use of it, etc. ""The plates are very well executed in regard to drawing, engraving, and colouring. The second part of this work, the first number of which is published, will soon appear. The defects of the work are, its high price, its too great diffuseness, and the too minute detail the author frequently enters into, the prospect that many years will pass away before the work can be finished, and that it is written in German, a language very little understood in this country."" (""The Critical Review, or, Annals of Literature, Vol. 32).Some of the excellent original drawings of the ""Beschreibung der Gräser"" are still to be found at Erlangen, where Scheber also had his private collection of numerous grasses(See Stafleu & Covan, V : p. 328 and No 11.127) Nissen: 1807. - Pritzel: 8395. - Not in Hunt.‎
