Jardine, Sir William: Bees: British & Foreign. Together with descriptions of the known Wild Species. , London: W.H. Allen & Co., c1850.

The Naturalist's Library Entomology. 301pp. 17 x 11 cm. Illustrated with 32 coloured plates. The first title page is "The Naturalist's Library Entymology" with a coloured vignette of bees and with a portrait of Huber opposite. Jardine, 1800-1874, edited the Naturalist's Library but this title is a bit of a puzzle for there is no volume number and it is a different publisher. However it seems to be a reprint of The Naturalists Library 6 Bees - by Jardine - "Comprehending the uses and economical management of the honey bee of Britain and other countries together with descriptions of the known wild species" - 301pp. published by W.H. Lizars, Edinburgh, 1840. Gold- and black-blocked dark-green boards. Boards are a bit faded and rubbed, internally clean, tight and fresh. (Book ref. 11603)  £195.00
