1853rif. 033269London : 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. Reeve and Co hardcover
