Description:
Volume containing plant specimens collected by Lady Mary Booth at Dunham Massey in 1725. Entitled in the hand of Mary Booth: 'Herbs collected | by | Lady Mary Booth, 1725, | only Daughter & heiress of the Earl of Warrington | afterwards married to the Earl of Stamford'. The volume contains several hundred plant specimens mounted on the rectos. The specimens are generally of complete plants, including roots, foliage, and in some cases flowers. However, space limitations dictated that only sections of larger plants such as ferns were mounted. Each specimen is numbered in ink, with a list of the specimens written by Mary Booth on the facing versos, employing both scientific Latin names and common names.
