Item description from seller

A delightfully illustrated microscopy guide from the natural-history populariser John George Wood. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth. Illustrated with twelve plates, including the frontispiece, by British engraver and lithographer Tuffen West and printed in colour by prominent printer Edmund Evans, who popularised the chromoxylography technique. Collated, complete. Undated, dated from copies held by the University of Oxford Libraries and National Library of Scotland. A charming scientific handbook on the various findings discovered through the lens of a microscope. This is one installment in the author's "Common Objects" series, also exploring subjects such as butterflies, ferns, and marine life. Written by significant English writer and clergyman, John George Wood, whose prolific natural history works helped popularise the genre. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth. Signed by the previous owner to the front paste down. Externally, very smart with sligh bumping and rubbing, causing light marking, and minor loss of cloth to the spine head and tail. Internally, generally firmly bound, notably weaker between the frontispiece and title page, also a little weak to pages 16, 80, 96 and 112. Reasonably bright and clean with occasional spotting, heavier to the first and last few pages. Very Good.
