Hardcover. Zustand: VG. No Jacket. 1st thus, 1st ed. -1813. f/piece (Prichard portrait photo and facs. signature)+cxliv+1dt ed. facs. t.p.+ facs. original text with unpaginated prelims+ iv (Preface)+568 (though 561-568 are Stocking's additional index); prevowner's small name & address label+round impressed ownership stamp to front endpaper, otherwise internally clean, tight and unmarked. Nicely laminated light brown cloth covers clean and unworn, only flaw is some grey smudges to textblock fore-edge which resist full erasure. Prichard's work went through numerous subsequent editions in which he back-tracked on the radical position he espoused here. Considered a founding proto-evolutionary work and for serious academic purposes this is clearly the best edition with Stocking's extensive and learned introduction and editorial apparatus.
