A Dictionary of the Fossils of Pennsylvania and Neighboring States, Vol. 2, authored by J. P. Lesley, was published in 1889 by the Board of Commissioners for the Geological Survey in Harrisburg. This hardcover volume is part of a comprehensive survey aimed at cataloging the fossil specimens found in Pennsylvania and its neighboring regions. The book includes 3000 figures, many of which are facsimile copies of works by notable geologists, with new species illustrated by G. B. Simpson. J. P. Lesley, a prominent state geologist, compiled this work to assist citizens and researchers in understanding the paleontological wealth of the area. This edition is a valuable resource for those interested in geology and paleontology, providing detailed insights into the fossil records of the late 19th century. The book is in fair condition, with notable wear on the spine and corners, and lacks a dust jacket.
