London:
Thomas M'Lean,
1823.
Hardcover.
(35.5 x 25 cm), [4] leaves + 42 hand-colored plates, including leaf of address. Period half morocco and marbled boards, red morocco cover label. Rebacked, wear to board edges; title page creased; pl. 13 with marginal tear, scattered small stains/finger soiling (mostly marginal); very good or better. This is a reissue of the original 1822 edition. It has 42 rather than 43 plates; it seems that given the popularity of the work the later issues were often done without a plate or two. This copy with modern bookplate of Norman and Janey Buchan. Tooley 37.
