1837033014London: Printed by Richard Tayor for the Author 1837 A good copy of the 1st edition in the original cloth binding with 2 folding maps at the rear. Robert Dunn titles himself as an 'animal-preserver' - which sadly does not mean that he was a conservationist. The book is a full account of his travels and the various species that he encountered and then shot and presumably stuffed when he was back home. The binding is complete and sound with pulling to spine ends bumped corners and some staining to the front board. There are the remains of a paper title label to the spine. Internally the original endpapers are present with 2 old signatures at the fep which has some light marking at the bottom. Contents with half title; frontispiece; title page; dedication; introduction; notice to subscribers announcing the addition of maps for those who wanted them; text 128pp; and folding maps of Orkney and Shetland. Contents are generally clean with light toning particularly to page edges and with the odd spot or mark. Pages 45-48 are badly opened with some loss to the side margin. The maps have some creasing at the side edges. Printed by Richard Tayor for the Author hardcover

1853033269<p>London : Reeve and Co 1853 A good copy of the 2nd edition in the original decorative cloth binding with 20 hand coloured plates. Popular British Ornithology was part of Reeve's Popular Natural History series which was produced to give young students a proper grounding in natural history subjects. The binding is sound and clean. The spine is faded with light pulling to the ends. Boards have some mottling to the cloth but the gilt decoration on the front board is bright. There are a couple of small dents in the side edge of the back board and 2 slightly darker scuffs on the front board. There is some splitting at the front endpaper joint but the book is sound. Contents are in very good clean condition with light toning and occasional spotting to page edges. The plate list is slightly confusing because the frontispiece is not numbered and plate 14 is placed earlier than it should be.</p> Reeve and Co hardcover
