EDINBURGH: W H LIZARS, 1836 A good copy of the 1st edition of Volume I of Gallinaceous Birds (covering varieties of domestic and wild fowl eg turkeys, pheasants), in the publisher's green leather binding. A 1st edition volume but issued separately as a complete volume, in a more expensive binding with gilt page edges, a different vignette title page, and a page marker. The dates on these vary (we have seen one with an earlier date than normal!). With black and white frontispiece portrait of Aristotle; hand coloured vignette title page with a picture of a cockerel; a further title pages; advert; contents listing; Memoir of Aristotle; and text with black and white illustrations and 30 hand coloured plates. 29 plates are listed in the contents index but there are 2 versions of plate 18. Classed as 'good' because the binding has wear to the edges and spine joints (although the binding is sound) and there is scuffing, particularly to the back board. The contents are in very good clean condition with particularly nice colouring to the plates. 2 plates are lacking tissue guards and there is occasional offsetting from plates. There is a small piece missing from the base of p189 with no loss to text.
