1870réf. 030898LONDON: George Bell & Sons 1870 A nice set of the second edition of Morris's History of British Birds. In 6 volumes with original decorative cloth bindings and 365 hand coloured plates as called for. The bindings are all clean with bright gilt pictures of birds to each front board and gilt titles and decoration to spine. There is some wear: volume I has some cloth splitting at the hinges and splitting at the rear endpaper with rubbing to corners; volumes II III and IV have very slight pulling to top and bottom of spine and a little rubbing at corners; volume V has very small splits at the top and bottom of the spine; and volume VI has a 1 inch tear at the top of the spine with no loss and scuffing at the corners. Internally all have the original endpapers; the first section including the frontispiece is becoming loose on volumes I II and III; volume IV is sound but the stitching is looser than on the others. There is a little spotting to some plates and text pages but in general the contents are very clean looking unread and the plates are bright and well coloured. A few plates in volume III lack tissue guards and the plate of the Whitethroat is present but detached. Volume 5 has 4 plates present but detached: the Little Stint Schinz's Sandpiper Pochard and Polish Swan - and pages 131-134 the same. A few pages have been roughly opened and a few have darkening to edges. Overall the set is complete with bright bindings and well coloured plates. George Bell & Sons hardcover

18433 vols., First Edition, with 579 splendid wood-engraved illustrations and tail-pieces in the text, free endpapers moderately spotted; attractively bound in contemporary green morocco, gilt backs, a very good, bright, notably clean set. A milestone in ornithological literature which served as the standard work for field ornithologists for almost the rest of the century. First published in 37 parts between July 1837 and May 1843, it appears here in book form for the first time. Yarrell had been much impressed with Bewick's format a generation earlier and determined to illustrate his own work with engravings of suitable quality. He spared no effort, for the splendid woodcuts were engraved by the Thompsons (father and sons) from drawings by Alexander Fussell. Fussell came from a celebrated family of artists; John Thompson, a former pupil of Branston, was one of the most distinguished wood-engravers of the period. Interestingly this division of labour was not absolute, for several of the illustrations are signed 'Thompson del et sc.' which seems to indicate that occasionally Thompson was responsible for both parts of the process. A supplement, separately published in 1845, is not present with this copy which is complete in itself. Jackson, pp.71-90; Mullens & Swann, p.670; Tate ('Birds, Men and Books'), pp.41-42.

With the nineteenth century trade ticket of Callander & Dixon of Whitehaven on front paste-downs. Published as Volumes IV and V in the author's 'History of British Birds' (1837-1852) but often found (as here) with their own bindings, series and volume titles. Volume I [IV]: Cursores, or Runners; Tentatores, or Probers; Aucupatores, or Stalkers; Latitores, or Skulkers; Vol. II [V]: Cribatores, or Sifters; Urinatores, or Divers; Mersatores, or Plungers.

Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) was an Irish novelist, playwright and poet, who is best known for his novel 'The Vicar of Wakefield' (1766), his pastoral poem 'The Deserted Village' (1770), and his plays 'The Good-Natur'd Man' (1768) and 'She Stoops to Conquer' (1771). He is thought to have also written the classic children's tale 'The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes' (1765). First published in 1774 'A History of the Earth and Animated Nature' was also extremely popular. This Philadelphia 1845 edition is scarce and complete examples are rarely offered for sale. PAIMP20
