Initially published as //Botanical Register// from 1815 to 1828 (vol. 1 to 14), it becames //Edwards's Botanical register// in 1829 (vol. 15). Publication stopped in 1847 (vol. 33). The very nice plates that illustrate cacti and succulents of both series are given here as a single interpreted file.\\ \\ 
This series was created by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydenham_Edwards|Sydenham Edwards]] after a dispute with the editorial board of the [[Curtis's Botanical Magazine|(Curtis's) Botanical Magazine]]. This explains why Edwards's register looks like a clone of Curtis's Magazine.\\ 
  * The file is made from the material proposed by the [[http://www.botanicus.org/|Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG) Library]].
  * You may download the original pages as jpeg files (text and plates) from the [[http://www.botanicus.org/|MBG site]]. Individual volumes are also available as pdf files that contains the jpeg images. ((You will find there **for free** other __old documents__ concerning plants.))
