Botanical papers of Manassah Cutler, 1782-1808 (bulk).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40290541

The Manasseh Cutler papers consist of 8 notebooks of observations of plants, 4 notebooks of extracts from books and letters and a few loose materials. The notebooks are part of a numbered series and go from 1783 to 1804 with gaps. All of these notebooks contain very detailed notes on plants and were apparently intended as part of an effort to expand Cutler's Account of some of the vegetable productions ... (1785). The extract notebooks contains notes from a variety of publications, including the Transactions of the Royal Society, travel accounts, histories, and Persoon's Synopsis plantarum, as well as letters from Dr. Jonathan Stokes. The loose materials include a letter from Henry Muhlenberg (1791) and a list of plants sent to Muhlenberg; a draft of a letter to Dr. Olof Swartz (1802) and a page of notes in Edward Tuckerman's hand that was apparently sent with the Cutler papers.

12 notebooks and miscellaneous items.
