Octavohardcover gilt lettering and stamped decoration to upper cover map illustrated endpapers uncut some unopened top edge gilt xvi 165 pp. Near Fine. From Foreword: On the soil of that many-legended island whose true history is here revealed I first had the keen pleasure of listening to some of these pages still in manuscript. With a small party of friends we leaned against roofless walls of grey coquina in a chambered ruin overshadowed from the quick Floridian sunshine by ghostly hanging mosses which the sea-warm air stirred on their ancient cedar boughs. And soon in strange consonance with that air and scene there came on the reader’s voice an unforgettable word of dulcet vowels -- the earliest name of that island -- Alimacani.

Best.-Nr. 65339London The Royal Society 1799. Two papers in one. Large 4to 29.4 x 22.6 cm. 55 33; 22 pp.; 17 8; 9 large folded engraved plates. Original printed wrappers. = The most detailed study of Asiatic elephants to that date. It includes a detailed account of the Bengalese "taxonomy" and nomenclature of elephants which differ widely from the scientific ones. The plates mainly show parts of the skull and the teeth. John Corse later: John Corse-Scott of Sinton or Synton ca. 1762-1842 was an army surgeon and naturalist who resided in India for a long time. He wrote more on elephants but this is his most important anatomical-osteological contribution. Subsequent to Corse's paper and announced there as a continuation is a work by Everard Home Some observations on the structure of the teeth of graminivorous quadrupeds; particularly of the elephant and Sus aethiopicus which includes illustrations of the African elephant's teeth as well. Both publications were communicated by Sir Joseph Banks and sometimes he is - wrongly - listed as the author. Published in the Society's Philosophical Transactions 1799 Part II with a few unrelated papers. Uncut with ample margins. Covers somewhat soiled some light marginal spots otherwise a very good clean and unmarked copy. Neither in NissenZBI nor in Wood. unknown
