Britten & Boulger - Deceased British and Irish Botanists

[Tom Humphrey]

I've scanned and OCR'ed a 1931 edition of Britten & Boulger's "Bibliographical Index of Deceased British and Irish Botanists" 2nd edition ed. Rendle.

Please note that OCR'ing this book introduced a lot of errors and so far I've not done much proofreading of the uploaded text - there will be many errors introduced during the scanning process. I plan to work on correcting these over the next few months (for the time being there are so many issues that it's not worth notifying me of errors - while help will ultimately be appreciated, at the moment I just plan to systematically go through the text fixing transcription mistakes). Because of all the errors in this draft please do not distribute this online to other sites - for the time being I prefer that people come back here for revised versions.

Hopefully this may be useful to help with tracking down obscure collectors.

The book is believed to be out-of-copyright in the UK since 2008 (the 70th anniversary of the death of the editor of the 2nd edition).
