2006One small bump along top edge of board else Fine. ; 9 x 0.75 x 6.25 Inches; 227 pages; This book features the efforts of a group of academics from diverse disciplines that have been working together to highlight the presence of the parrot in selected texts across the centuries. Their common purpose is to demonstrate that fictional parrots invariably function as more than decoration, comedy or badges denoting the eccentricity of their human owners. These versatile and talented birds function as markers for subtle literary techniques. Using the parrot as an interpretative tool the focus is on a range of narrative strategies and metaphorical meanings employed by the authors in question and argue that these are embodied in the attributes of the speaking bird who figures significantly in each work.

18538vo., First Edition, with a lithographed frontispiece map and 35 lithographed engraved plate (one finely coloured by hand), some mild age-staining to plates; original coarse-grained green cloth, sides with multiple frame border in blind enclosing title lettered in gilt, neatly rebacked in cloth to style, uncut, blue silk marker, boards moderately age-faded else a very good, bright, firm copy. With the errata slip (often missing) tipped-in at p.291 and 16pp publisher's catalogue (dated November 1862) bound in at end. The plates are by Bevan after sketches by the author, and engraved by Monkhouse of York. The work includes topographical and personal indexes. This work is often described wrongly as possessing 35 plates, for the plates themselves are numbered 1-35. The true complement is 36 (as called for on title and list of plates) for plate 27 is present in two forms. 'This work, professedly on geology, contains much antiquarian and topographical information. The learned Professor, from his position in the Geological Survey undertaken by the Government, was personally enabled to collect his information from every part of the County' (Boyne). A second edition, published in 1855, adds a folding diagram. Extremely scarce, especially in this condition. Anderson, p.311; Boyne, XVI.
