Printed for A. Millar, 1756 (although misdated 1856 on the title page). The scarce first edition, complete with all 17 plates including the often missing sheep plate (here bound in opposite page 32). Large quarto volume with wide margins. vii + 266 pages with an unnumbered index and errata sheet at the rear. Good or better. Period calf ruled and lettered in gilt. Front hinge splitting, although still held by ties, and front free endpaper loose. Internally generally clean, although with some spotting towards the rear. Russell was a doctor at the English factory in Aleppo between 1740 and 1753. This book covers his observations not just on the natural history (including the first description of the Syrian hamster) but life in the city.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
