pp. 64 + 4 pp. prospectus of the Naturalist's Library, with a hand-coloured plate of an antelope. Pages 7-10 are bound in out of order. Bound in early plum-coloured ripple-grained cloth without title. In very good condition. Wonderful illustrations. Cohn 184. This copy does not have the 16 pp. advs. unnumbered as called for by Cohn, and the 4 pp. prospectus does not have the 4 pp. buff paper printed wrapper he mentions. However, it does have the coloured plate - "this plate is often missing, but perfect copies should always contain it." I can find no explanation of the author's (surely pseudonymous) name.
