(Hardcover, 1994 ). 1994 1st edition. Ppxviii,127. Colour paintings of butterflies by Mandy Shepherd, brief bibliography. Fine in dust-wrapper. "It is Clive Simson's distinction that he stands as an exemplar (as did Gilbert White of Selborne in the 18th century) of the past naturalists who elevated the fauna of our pastoral and agrarian island into the status of national treasure." Wilson Stephens, Editor of The Field, in his foreword to this book. Clive Simson recounts reminiscences of a lifetime spent studying butterflies in the field, principally taking his material from his field notes. Species observed and discussed include the Silver-Washed Fritillary, the Purple Emperor, the Swallowtail, the Adonis Blue, the GreenHairstreak, the Peacock, the Brimstone, the Chequered Skipper, and others. .

(Hardcover, 2007 ). (1837) 2007 1st edition thus. 8vo (155 x 218mm). Ppxii,29,xi,128,10. Colour frontispiece photograph, b/w reproductions of maps and engraved plates. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine in dust-wrapper. A facsimile of the first edition of 1837, with a biographical chapter and extentive notes by Martin Limbert. Robert Dunn was a taxidermist of Hull who made a number of expeditions to Orkney and Shetland to collect birds for stock, especially unusual species. In subsequent years, three of his sons lived there, ensuring continuity of supply. Dunn composed the book some years later, from notes taken on the spot. He included many observations of local life and natural history, although his main aim was to indicate the best locations for finding each species, with advice on how to most expeditiously shoot them. .

(Hardcover, 2002 ). 2002 1st edition. 8vo (170 x 240mm). Ppviii,174. B/w photographs, b/w illustrations by the author. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt. Fine copy in slightly used dust-wrapper. "Willoughby Verner is undoubtedly best known for his classic work "My Life Among the Wild Birds in Spain" which was published in 1909. He enjoyed the reputation of being a committed "hunter-naturalist" as well as a hardened soldier, achieving the rank of Colonel in the Rifle Brigade and experiencing at first hand active service in Africa. . Born in 1852, the diaries of which this book is comprised cover the period 1867 - 1890 and take one back to his early years, when as a youth he collected birds' eggs and ornithological specimens along the southern coast of England, primarily in Sussex. Family connections in Ireland also provided opportunities for shooting wildfowl over bogs and rough country." .
