Mid 19th century Scottish, folio-sized herbarium and sea-weed album gathered in the village of Bolton, about 20 miles east of Edinburgh - the village where Robert Burns’ mother and brother lived later in life.

Bound in vellum over boards. Manuscript title page following some stubs. Opposite is a reference to ‘Passages in the life of Jenny Kettlee’(?) in a 19th century hand. The individual botanical specimens are held in position with gummed paper strips; most annotated in English and Latin, occasional scraps of poetry below the description. A few larger unattached specimens towards the rear and 4 pages of seaweed specimens - mostly unlabelled. A list of mosses and lichens written in the same hand as the description written on the penultimate blank. A most attractive album.
