Dublin: Printed by Graisberry and Campbell, 1804.. iv,[2],214pp. Octavo. Extracted from bound pamphlet volume. Single color plate. Old stamps of a defunct mercantile library, some old modest damp rippling, with the actual discoloration visible only on a8-b8; still, an otherwise good, serviceable copy. First edition. Wade served as the curator of the Dublin Society's botanical garden at Glasnevin. His training as a physician prompted emphasis on the medicinal use and nutritive value of plants in his lectures and writings. The modest color plate is of "Buxbaumia Aphylla," or mushroom-headed moss, which he claimed to have found for the first time (in the British islands) to the south of Purple Mountain, near Killarney.
