18355520Edinburgh:: WH Lizars 1835. First edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored steel engraving with bright original hand-coloring. 6.75 x 4.25 inches 10.8 x 17.15 cm. This engraving is classified as one of the finest natural history miniatures produced during the mid-nineteenth century. A refined and intelligent work The Naturalist's Library was created for everyone with an interest in the natural world. Sir William Jardine 1800-1847 noted Scottish Ichthyologist and Ornithologist combined the talents of his colleagues; Edward Lear Prideaux John Selby William Swainson to contribute to The Naturalist's Library. The intention of the series was to create a fine yet affordable work describing and illustrating all elements of the natural world save botany. In addition several plates were engraved after noted artists: John James Audubon John Gould and Maria Sibylla Merian. The success of the publication was apparent by the production of forty subsequent volumes. The engraver of the work was William H. Lizars who at the time produced the first ten plates of John James Audubon's magnum opus the Double Elephant Folio Edition of The Birds of America. For The Naturalist's Library Lizars engraved the miniature plates in steel opposed to copper to render meticulously detailed settings for each described species. Traditionally only the major subject either bird animal insect or fish was individually painted with watercolor the background remained uncolored. This work has withstood the test of time and continues to be a fine and affordable option to the lavish engraved work of many natural history masters. WH Lizars, unknown

005551London England: Frank Cass and Co Limited 1791. The History of the Island of Dominica containing a description of its situation extent climate mountainsrivers natural productions etcetc. Together with an account of the civil government trade laws customs and manners of the different inhabitants of that island. Its conquest by the French and restoration to the British Dominions. Declared a 'neutral' island by the contending powers of France Spain and Britain. Dominica had nevertheless been settled informally by the French when it was first conquered by Britain in 1759. Captured by the French during the war of American Independence it was restored to Britain in 1783. When Thomas Atwood published this first history of the island in 1791 therefore Dominica was a new and exposed colony where the French inhabitants still outnumbered the English. Atwood an intelligent man who had been Chief Judge both in Dominica and the Bahamas was greatly impressed by the island's strategic importance and commercial possibilities. He wrote his history to induce Britain to develop the colony and to attract more British immigrants and capital. His history therefore also comprises a complete description of the contemporary Dominica and the sections devoted to commerce are particularly important. Very much 'planter' historian Atwood's strictures on the character of the Negroes make extremely interesting reading especially when compared with his generous sentiments towards the few remaining amerindians. All in all this book still provides the most uniquely vivid if not unbiased picture of Dominica in the late 18th century. 285pp Catalogue of the Cass Library of West Indian Studies.
