vols., full Russia gilt, gilt edges. This is the complete Series of this
Publication, under the above Authors and Artists. There are 161 finely
colored plates of Birds previously unfigured or little known, or
nondescript. A few of the plates have more than one Species represented.
From 1 to 4 pages of text accompanies each plate; an Index of the 1st 2
vols. is given. The last vol. was abruptly ended. A page of explanation
is bound at the end of the 3rd vol., in which it is “proposed to carry
on a New Series of these Illus.” It states also that the New Series will
be published early in 1836, which would give the approximate date of the
last vol. of this Series as 1835. Probably begun in 1832; as a complete
set like this of this Series of Illustrations is excessively rare, and
no record has been found of it being sold. Many of the New Species are
American. Several of the Anatidæ are figured. Condition and binding very
fine, corners and edges of vols. somewhat rubbed and need a little
touching up. Edinburgh, Published by W. H. Lizars, n. d.
