BOTANICAL and AMERICAN INTEREST. 'Report on the Botany of the Expedition,' by J. M. Bigelow, part V of the report by the U. S. War Department concerning 'Explorations and Surveys for a Railroad Route from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean,' the route being near the thirty-fifth parallel, explored by Lieutenant A. W. Whipple, card wraps, numerous plates to the rear, foxing throughout, Washington, 1856. Dr Rob Senior arrived in West Cornwall from his native Yorkshire in the early 1960’s where he took up his vocation as a young GP and served the local community for 40 years. At the age of 12, Rob bought a book on Cacti. It was his first book, and established the twin passions of his life, books and plants. His library is a fabulous, eclectic collection of books, largely on plants and horticulture, but also nature and many other subjects, all brought together by a man with a curious and inquisitive mind.
