old bot. works

[Paul DESSART]

Dear Taxacomers,

As an entomologist, I'm often faced with plant names, of which I cannot
find the date of description.
I have access to the Index Kewensis, but in the first two big volumes,
the dates of publication of the very classical works are not given, as
supposed known by the specialists of that remote epoch.
I know that it exists a book where all such works are listed, with details
on the date of publication, or dates, when the works were published in
different parts and times.
Does anyone know if there is a freely accessible web site on which
I could find a copy of this basic work?
Many thanks in advance.
