Item description from seller

3rd edition, (1st published 8 years earlier in 1831), in contemporary full leather binding with 6 black and white plates. Classed as poor because the boards are adrift, there are loose preliminaries (at one point one was attached with sellotape) and there is browning, particularly where the plates have offset to tissue guards and text. There is a signature for John ?Slater Harrison, dated 1839 to a preliminary.Remaining contents nice and clean. There is light brown toning to paper.

Store description

We are a small online bookselling business specialising in rare and unusual books, generally published before 1900, with a focus on natural history, history, illustrated works and some literature. We are based in the beautiful Orkney Islands and have a specialist Orkney/Shetland section in our listings. We run a bookshop in Orkney - Birsay Books - where we have a wide range of stock from science fiction and fantasy to maritime and, of course, Orkney/Shetland and Scottish material. We take images of all of our books to supplement the online descriptions, and are always happy to provide more on request. When you order from us, we ensure that books are properly packed to protect their condition and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for additional security. Because we are based on an island which depends on ferries and flights for shipping, we can not guarantee 'next day' delivery. We will simply get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.…
