Spectacle de la Nature: or, Nature Display'd. Being Discourses on such particulars of natural history as were thought most proper to excite the curiosity and form the minds of youth. Volume II.

Beschreibung

Seventh edition, revised and corrected. With an engraved frontispiece, 29 folding engraved plates some of which are loose but otherwise in very good condition, 12mo, pp viii, 312, untrimmed, some pages loose, boards worn, a very rough sheep (?) spine loosely attached. A curious copy, the boards are quite possibly contemporary; the pages are very wide-margined; it seems to have been destined for a proper binding, but this was never achieved. It remains a quite usable copy, charmingly unsophisticated. [The plates feature florists' flowers including one showing a bulb vase, garden plan, wine and apple presses etc.].
