This volume collects two books that illustrate the path of Pound's career. Orginally published in 1897, Phytogeography earned Pound his doctorate, the first awarded by the University of Nebraska, and launched his brief first career as botanist. Interpretations is one of the most important of Pound's many works as a legal theorist and historian. Dumbould [1905-1997], the former owner of our copy, was a notable Washington, DC lawyer, judge and historian.
