1860pp. xvi, 423 + Frontis. Slight foxing. 12mo. 19 cm. Original full cloth binding. Engraved ExLibris of George Dawson Coleman. Very good. This first American edition of the first of what eventually became four series. It includes Buckland's popular essays on: 'A Hunt in a Horse-pond; 'Rats'; 'The Cobra di Capello'; 'Fish and Fishing'; and 'My Monkey Jacko.' Known as the People's Naturalist, Buckland was trained as a medical doctor but spent a great part of his time as a fisherman, antiquary, and naturalist. In 1867 he was appointed to the congenial post of Inspector of the Salmon Fisheries. "Genial, sagacious, enthusiastic, always prone to look at the humorous side of his subject, Buckland aimed rather at enlisting the sympathies of others in his favourite studies than at acquiring the name of a profound writer on science. He held the ordinary usages of society in supreme contempt when they appeared to interfere with his zeal for experiment and research in natural history. His friends love to recall him - now wading into some icy cold river to capture salmon for the purposes of artificial breeding - now smoking and in his shirt sleeves as he arranged curiosities at South Kensington - and now again humorously dilating in his house in Albany street about the habits of the pet animals which generally ran loose through his rooms" - From the 'Dictionary of National Biography' Scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

1586In -8°, pp. (8), 83, (1), stemma cardinalizio inciso su legno al frontespizio. Legatura in mezza pergamena. Edizione originale. Trattato medico sui veleni, sulla prevenzione e sul modo di curarsi. Andrea Bacci (Sant’Elpidio, Ancona 1524 - Roma 1600), medico, naturalista e filosofo, professore di botanica e di farmacologia a Roma, offre una definizione di veleno come elemento dannoso alla salute di origine sia naturale, quindi animale, vegetale e alimentare, che non naturale. Le cause di avvelenamento per morso di serpente sono trattate in maniera particolare, anche rispetto alla preparazione degli antidoti e al modo di riconoscere il morso o una generica assunzione di elemento velenoso. Un capitolo specifico è dedicato al morso del cane affetto da rabbia. Durling 428; Wellcome 604 Original edition. A medical work on poisons, their prevention and the way to take soon of. Andrea Bacci (1524-1600), doctor, naturalist and philosopher, teacher of bothanics and farmacy at Rome University, gives a definition of poison as a harmful agent of an either natural or innatural source. The poisoning by a snake bite is considered apart, even in order to antidotes’ composition and to the way of distinguishing a snake’s bite from generic poisoning. A specific chapter is dedicated to the rabid dog’s bite. Durling 428; Wellcome 604
