Original maroon cloth on boards. Appears to be a first edition, but with very little evidence of age or wear except the tiniest scattered flecks of foxing. Professor Bailey was born into high society at West Point, where his father was on the faculty. Less than two years after his 20th birthday he was hired as Professor of Chemistry and Natural Science at the University of New Brunswick at Fredericton, where he served for 46 years. Following this he concentrated his efforts on a study of diatoms, a major group of algae. 141 pp.
