First edition, very uncommon, of this charming natural history specimen
book, with forty-two seaweed specimens included. All the varieties of seaweed
to be found on the Channel coast in Margate and Ramsgate are described
and accompanied by a specimen, with the exception of a few which
were deemed to be too common or too large for inclusion. The book was
compiled by Elizabeth Jane Allom, a life-long resident of Margate. She later
published a volume of verse (1844) and a juvenile handbook, entitled Seaside
pleasures (1845).
One copy at Oxford, no further copies found in KVK, OCLC, NSTC etc.; 1844
