This collection is in six large cases, containing three hundred and sixty bundles of standard-sized botanical paper, with 
sixteen thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven (16,977) species, from all parts of the world. There are generally four or

The above Herbarium contains specimens selected from most of the important European Cabinets (Royal and private), by 
Professor Hervey, by whom the naming of the specimens has been most carefully revised and brought to the front line 
of Botanical classification. 
This Herbarium would place any Museum of College or University, or School of Science, on a level with most of the 
leading European collections in Botany; for there are very few (less than half a dozen) Herbaria in this country, which 
contain so many species. Such an authentic collection, named with such care by so celebrated a Botanist, has probably nevei 
been offered before in America.
