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
