Book description: London: L. Upcote Gill. Original light green cloth with gilt title and two birds on front cover and faded gilt title on spine. Worn at the edges, corners and spine ends, but not lacking the cloth. Pages viii, 296 with index, plus 32 pages of ads, not entirely publisher ads for books. Published circa 1890, this was a notable, early book on ornithology, with very nice color plates of parrots, macaws, etc. The internal hinges on this copy are cracking, so the book is a bit loose, but holding, and protected in a clear, mylar dj. . Decorative Cloth. Good. Illus. by 8 Chromolithograph Full Page Plates. 8 Vo.
