Pennant, Thomas
A Journey from London to the Isle of Wight Two Volumes in One
London: Printed at the Oriental Press by Wilson & Co. for Edward Harding 1801. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Quarto pp 205 217 with two folding hand-colored maps and 47 engraved plates in a contemporary full calf binding with gilt rules spine in six compartments with red and black spine labels and gilt embellisment. Some rubbing to boards especially at joints and head of spine a little worming to boards. Binding sound scattered foxing but generally clean. The maps which are in very nice condition show Pennant's route from London to Dover and then from Dover to the Isle of Wight. "Thomas Pennant was a Welsh antiquarian and naturalist whose works were very popular in the eighteenth century. His reputation was built on his important natural history survey British Zoology first printed in 1766 and his accounts of two tours of Scotland undertaken in 1769 and 1772. Pennant made further tours in Wales and in England between 1773 and 1787 and his popularity among amateur naturalists and antiquarians resulted in the development of a comprehensive network of correspondents many of whom supplied him with additional information that he added to subsequent editions of his works. Aside from his 1783 book describing the antiquities on the road between Chester and London and his immensely popular account of the antiquities of London none of Pennant’s English tours were published during his lifetime. This account of his 1787 tour to the Isle of Wight was edited by his son David and published in 1801. Rather than heading directly to the island Pennant’s tour took in much of the south-east coast of England travelling first from London to Dover before traversing the coasts of Kent and Sussex" Royal Collection Trust.

Pennant, Thomas
Arctic Zoology Vol. I. Introduction. Class I. Quadrupeds; Vol. II. Class II. Birds with Supplement to the Arctic Zoology
London: Henry Hughs 1797. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Three volumes in two with the supplement bound in at the end of Volume II. 4to 9.25 x 11.75 inches with wide margins. Volume I: pp 10 cc 6 185 1. Volume II: pp 2 187-586 14; Supplement vii 163. Collated and complete with frontispiece two vignette title pages two folding maps and 23 full page plates one folding. In a contemporary binding of red sheepskin with gilt decoration on spines and gilt borders on front and rear boards gilt inner dentelles marbled endpapers. Boards scuffed and rubbed chip missing from head of spine a few pages with old repairs to margins scattered foxing especially to the folding maps. Elliott Coues in his 1892 Key to North American Birds wrote: "A great landmark -- one of the most conspicuous of the last century -- was set up with the appearance in 1785 of the second volume of Pennant's 'Arctic Zoology.' The whole work in three quarto volumes with many plates 1784-87 was 'designed as a sketch of the Zoology of North America.' . Pennant treated upwards of 500 nominal species of North American birds. .We are so accustomed to see 'Linn.' Linnaeus and 'Gm.' Gmelin after the names of our longest-known birds that we almost unconsciously acquire the notion that Linnaeus and Gmelin were great discoverers or describers of birds in those days. But the men who made North American ornithology what it was during the last century were Catesby Edwards Forster Pennant Latham and Bartram." Volume 2 includes description and illustration of several extict species including the Passenger Pigeon Eskimo Curlew and Great Auk all of which were still extant at the time these volumes were published. In addition to the pioneering work on birds the work is notable for its descriptions of Steller's sea cow obtained directly from explorers who observed the animals before their extinction as well as for apparently the first published illustration of a North American musk-ox. Welsh naturalist Pennant originally conceived of these volumes as “North American Zoology†but changed the title and focus after the loss of the British colonies.
