Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1857. First edition. Hardcover. Good. 24.5 x 15.5 cm. Octavo. 656pp. Bound into 1/2 leather, marble boards, endpapers and foredges. This copy is lacking the fold-out "Ethnographic Tableau". The other chart "Illustrative of the Geographical distribution of Monkeys, in their relation to that of some Inferior Types of Men." and all 9 plates are present. Many other in-text illustration. This is the "regular paper ediiton". Rubbing to outer hinges and edges of boards. Scattered foxing throughout.
