Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. VG, 1st ed, 1804, 9 pls (of 9). In worn marbled boards. Re-spine, to style, gilt tooling & titles, new tips. Internally, [8], [1], 2-120 pp, 9 pls (of 9), light water stain to top outer corner of each plate, not affecting image, text block edges yellowed, leaves watermarked Neckinger Milll 1801 & 1…800, plates dated 1801/3/4, small bookbinder label to epf. Left in manuscript ready for publication when Pennant died and was brought on by his son David Pennant. (229*293 mm). (The Library 1938). Pennant's travels and natural history are distinguished by his personal energy, a keen observational sense, and by methodological organization and attention to facts. In such ways, and in his friendship and widespread correspondence with others of like interests throughout Britain and Europe, he may be said to exemplify those gentleman scholars of nature in the later eighteenth century whose interests in natural knowledge aimed at national improvement through intellectual enquiry.

First edition (large paper issue) with forty-seven plates and two folding colour maps. Plate for Chillingworth substituted with one for Harvey. Overall, an exceptionally attractive set. A fine, representative set of Pennant's works, which includes the highlights of his diverse interests. Thomas Pennant (1726-1798) made good use of his pen as a natural historian, topographer, antiquary, and scientist. Pennant oversaw every aspect of the publication of his work, even personally selecting illustrators. His powers of observation as a naturalist were used to equal effect as a traveller and he is regarded as the greatest Welsh travel writer of the eighteenth century. Johnson proclaimed him "the best traveller I ever read; he observes more things than anyone else does" (DNB). Besides his Tours, he published widely on natural history subjects from all over the world, gathering information from a number of primary sources which, as a highly respected member of the London scientific community, he was well paced to do. The sheer scope of his endeavour is truly remarkable. The Genera of Birds, a systematic listing of ninety-five species according to the Linnean system of classification, is a model of its kind. Called the 'leading zoologist and antiquary of his time' (Whittell), he met Joseph banks in 1766; they formed a friendship that took them on many excursions. It was Banks who gave Pennant the Australian birds which were in his collection when John Latham described them. In 1790, Latham named Psittacus pennanti in Pennant's honour.

In quarter leather with cloth, titled in gold on the spine and both boards and presented in a purple slipcase. Internally, half title, frontis, [6], (vii-xxv), [1], [4], 5-133 pp, [4], 20 vividly colored woodcuts, several d…ouble page, and woodcut end papers by Rigby Graham, top edges cut remainder not, an edition limited to 170 copies, bound by John Sewell. All housed in the publishers gilt printed, purple slip case.(356*238 mm). Rigby Graham, was a prolific and versatile painter, printmaker and illustrator. This is an attempt by him to reflect the contemporary view rather than reproduce that of Pennant, and has compressed time, so that past and present often co-exist within a single image, this of course provokes thought, debate and hopefully delight! Stunning. GRAHAM Rigby 1931-2015 (illustrator).
